I wonder if photographing the pages with ultra violet or infra red might help.

One way is to run the Ruler tool along one edge of the photo, followed by Image > Image Rotation > Arbitrary. The angle from the Ruler is automatically loaded. Click on OK, and the image is rotated with extra canvas added to accommodate the rotation.

Alt+Shift+Ctrl+E for Stamp Visible. Not accessible though the menu; keyboard shortcut only.

Maybe one could have a script that would get the locations of the recent files and put them in a list, where they could then be opened in Windows Explorer to be renamed or deleted. Deleting a file in the list might cause glitches later, so the script should maybe rebuild the recent files list after the editing.

I saw on my Adobe account page, under "Plans and Payment" there is an Activated Devices tab, with an option to deactivate a device. I used this to clean out any residual activations on my retired [but still (barely) functional] old computer. I'd always thought activations were per app, not per device.

Are you talking about the edges of the artwork? If so, do a search for "gallery wrap".

Leslie, I was hoping you would come up with the idea first, since you are a better cartoonist than I am . . .

This has been the case for years. You can avoid it by temporarily changing the resampling to Nearest Neighbor.

Once a file is saved as anything other than a .PSD any type is no longer editable. You can add new type, though. The Lorem Ipsum is placeholder text, and is replaced once you start typing. You can turn that off in the preferences if you don't like it.

You could use the Vanishing Point filter. I would isolate the subject on a separate layer, and feather the top edge of he paneling. Then the clone stamp in the Vanishing Point will follow the perspective. I'd recommend using a small soft brush, working in sections, changing the sample point frequently to deal with the differences in lighting.

1 - Click on the first gradient in the list, then Shift+click on the last in the list.
2 - The Trash is in the very lower right corner of the Gradients panel.

Check to see if the documents have the same pixel dimensions. This sounds very similar to loading selections from another document, which has that restriction.

Several years ago, Adobe Sketch had a feature where you could save a graphic as a brush. When you painted with it, it would apply the graphic to follow the stroke, similar to Illustrator's Art Brushes. They would be a natural for this sort of thing.
Adobe Fresco appears to have something similar, "Pixel Brushes", but I don't know if they work in the same way, as I've never used it. I still have several Sketch brushes in my CC library, which cannot be used in any existing software. You can, however, see a sample preview of them. This is from a tube of Carmex Lip Balm:

Check in the CC desktop app, in the Apps section. Open the three dot menu next to where it says "Installed Apps", and choose Manage Auto Updates. Under Photoshop, open the Advanced Options, and make sure 'Import previous settings and preferences' is checked.
Personally, I leave Auto Update turned off, after I got burned by it too many times.

Add a Black and White adjustment layer, and paint over the lips and hair on the mask with black to reveal them.

Another way to do it would be to use a Gradient Map adjustment layer, with a Gradient that puts stops "on top" of each other to give hard boundaries. These are super fiddly to set up.
You can see this one has a stop that's not quite right.

If, before the rotation, you go into Quick Mask mode from an active Selection, and back to Standard mode after, the selection will be rotated, along with the image.

You can make it thinner with Distort > Polar Coordinates, first Polar to Rectangular, scaling the result, and then Rectangular to Polar. Unfortunately, the spacing of the sprocket holes starts looking weird —
