I wanted to render a video in photoshop, and after opening the Render Video window my mac suddenly started launching an app called dynamicmedialinkserver that I have never seen before, and it got stuck on launchmode and since I didn't know what it was I just force quit it. Then I proceeded trying to render my video and got an error message. I figured out that these 2 things are related but I don't really understand what's happening since that app looks entirely unfamiliar to me. I restarted photoshop and tried rendering the video again, this time without closing the app that poped up and it worked...     ... View more

The objects in the GIF are all based on simple rectangles, there are no stray anchor points or overlapping anchor points. When I select them individually, I can round the corners, even with smaller groups of shapes I can see the corner widget. But as soon as I select a larger group the widget disappears and I can't round the corners anymore.   I already tried: - Different zoom factors - setting the anchor point size to max - showing corner widget is activated in View aswell   Not sure how to fix this.     ...

I saw another post on this, about how the old simplify tool worked great, but the new one somehow is a step backwards. That post was over a year old and just today I ran into a situation that illustrates it well, so I'm asking again to work on the simplify tool: I wanted to delete excess points on a straight path on a 60 degree hexagon - but it doesn't delete nealy all the extra points before it deletes everything above 59 degrees, see GIF. Is it something with my settings? Or just the functionality of the tool?       ... View more

Editing Text in AE is very inconvenient and buggy.   The font dropdown menu where you can see the sample text only shows the actual font for the sample for some fonts, but the majority has the preview in a standard font.   I have to actual choose the font to see it in my composition - add to that that there's currently no way to scroll through fonts or go through them with the arror keys: I have to click on a font, which closes the dropdown menu, then i have to open the dropdown again, find where I left off and click the next font and so on.   And after I pick a font, the name doesn't even appear in the window, it's instead replaced with a "-"   It's also missing some filter options that are available in Illustrator, like weight, serif etc. I can only filter by Adobe fonts.     I guess this is a mix of bug and idea for improvement. The text editing workflow as it currently is an AE doesn't work well. ... View more

So whenever I finish something in Procreate, I export it as PSD and make the final touches in Photoshop. At some point however I noticed that the colors went pale/grayish after opening the file in PS. The preview on my mac still shows the colors as normal for as long as I haven't opened it in Photoshop. Settings are RGB, proof colors turned off. Note: This seems to have something to do with the layers, because when I export the same procreate file as a flattened PNG and open that in Photoshop, the colors remain bright (which isn't helpful as a workaround because I need to make edits to the layers). Especially layer modes like linear dodge seem to get very pale and I'm not sure what I can do about it. I had this for a while, have a new mac by now with newly installed photoshop and the issue remains, so this must be something in the default settings and restoring settings will not help...         ...

My Mac is running out of internal storage and I've moved some of my stuff onto an external samsung ssd.   Problem is: Video filetypes (mov, mp4) cannot be opened directly from the external drive in Photoshop.   I use them quite often so moving individual files to internal temporarily is not really the solution i'm looking for...Is there maybe another kind of external storage that works better?     ...

So I figured out that the grow bounds tool has an influence on the wrap of the text - but if I want a complete seamless 360 wrap, parts will be cut off. And when I increase the bounds - I will get an increasingly bigger gap. I don't know if it matters but this is a shape layer and not a text field. How can I get it seamlessly wrapped?   ... View more
