Stephen, thanks! This is part of why I've never gotten into smart objects. So confusing to learn. Do you agree, in this case/ scenario.. (read thread), maybe i'm best just adding a new merge visible to the top of all alwyers for the unsharp mask?

Sorry for delay. jUst used smart object. Never used them before. I've always done in past, merge visible at top and put unsharp mask there. I think smart object (coverting the background) is even quicker/elegant. I now have a layer below the bg called smart filter and below that called unsharp mask. The UM turns on and off, and even when you double click it - can change settings. So far seem like an easier way than merge visible at top. Question: I see disable smart filters, deltee filter mask, clear filters. Even if persist, delete smart filter.. yet oddly even after delete smart filer. I see that tell tell smart filter icon in the bg layer still -- you know the white page icon lower right with top right of page dog earled down. That never goes away? Ah.. maybe scenarious where you want all the layers merged before sharpeing...... my adjustment layers are usually level for exposure, and color balance.. or not really.. U Mask on background would always be ok? Also: Cannot add a mask to the U mask in smart object? (sometimes one like to paint out the sharpness in part of image)

Thanks it's this Then add a new layers and it's this I could move that new layer to top or wherever, but still that that cannot complete the unsharp mask becuase has no content. Ah, do have to do a merge visible first of all layers.. maybe rusty.. Pity they dont have some feature to just let that new layer, some button, ,so PS knows you want everything or at least the layer right below to sharpen. Or better an unsharp mask adjustment layer above that effects what have below...

Any ideas?

Anshut, thanks, I gave up few years, I'm not even sure where my keyboard shorcuts are anymore! Where are they? I spent lot of time on them, but alaways broken messed ... Think they get a prefrence to just carry them over without even doing that? So annoying. I'm from era of the manuel CD upgrade, so never even had to anything. zero, they just get there. All gone now.. was too much stomach, and unstable, and choatic.

I have a long list of PS keyboard shortcuts I 've used over the years. But I found I don't use them lately! I tediously navigate with my mouse for everything now.. It seems with PS is now updating so often, and there is this laboriuos process of tranferring over your shortcuts, and I've found they get mangled and lost eventually. Has PS made this better yet? Maybe they carry over now automatically or? Just asking. Thanks!

I've used image processor many times, I had some images and want them all about 750 on longer size with all of them clearing 600 px min at least. Finally gave up as I put 750 and 750 in each box, height and width, too many came out with below 600 px. How tell image processosor you want all images to be above 600 on each side? Also is there a preference there to say you want then all to be above or below a certain file size? don't see that. Or only does pixel height/ width? Also what happened to Adboe forums, now called eco system not PHotoshop? Is bridge forum still around, if I have a Bridge quesiton? Thanks!

Great job Gary! Files ok, but full disc not. So let you know if persist, my guess done. ANd 6-7 important apps there that needed full disc, so set an alert in calendar every 6 months to look at all that! BTW, as anti clutter person, if you have any clue what these are in there, I have no idea : Smbd, sshd-keygen-wrapper, XProtect, BackService, sh,

Never see this in 20 years using Bridge. The external HD was not move or renamed. Still added all fodlers again so back in Favorites. Then few days later same thing all folders get this.   Yet again nothing moved or renamed.

Erik great thanks. Also how keep Adobe creative cloud in menu bar, it's there and then not there. on former issue: This happens cause: 2023 is in dock Adobe does get rid of old version for you. Or even alert in anyway you have the newer version of something right in app folder ready to use. Adobe confusingly calls them 2023, 2024, and elsewhere, numbers like 14.1 that have no meaning. Instead just calling everything 2024.
