Thank you! I had previously received a response that said to reset the Crop Tool (which I never even heard of), but that was the problem! Your suggestion would have most likely worked as well. In over 10 years of using Photoshop I never had anything like that happen and even Googling didn't bring up my exact issue. Many thanks! ... View more

Adobe Community and Jane to the rescue.  I've never had this happen in the over 10 years of using Photoshop and can usually find my way out of these things, but didn't know where to start!  I learned something, and I thank you!  Didn't even know how to reset the Crop Tool--Googled how to do that.  Thanks again! ...

For as much that is involved and being concerned if somethings going to go wrong or if I’m going to have to download hundreds of brushes again, I will just save my Lightroom images to my electronic folder on my hard drive and open them up directly through Photoshop. Most of the time I prefer to use Camera Raw in Photoshop he sake of simplicity. I have kept your emails in case I feel enthusiastic about doing all this. I don’t like to do what I don’t fully understand and haven’t done before. Thank you! ... View more

I have Adobe Creative Cloud with both PS and LrC. OK, well hopefully nothing will get messed up. I'll try it afterwhile. Will I have to set up all my panels again, etc.? And what about all the brushes that have been downloaded? Thanks! ... View more

This sounds like more than I want to take on. Maybe I'll just call Adobe. I looked at my Preferences and the only one listed is Adobe Photoshop Elements. I can't even select Adobe Photoshop 2023 in the Preferences drop-down. Many thanks! Get Outlook for Android<> ... View more

Thanks.  Not a lot of them I'm considering using, but I work really quickly with cloning so I'll get through it a few times more.  Thanks again! ... View more

Hello, and thanks for your response!  Those are older images and the image, for the sake of sending it here, was super blown up.  I do not know what "negative sharpening" is nor what 0 to -50 or from -50 to -100 means.  Perhaps I can Google what this means and how to do this.  I don't even remember what editing program I had when the problem pictures were taken. Certainly not the full version of Photoshop!  Thanks again! ... View more

Sorry. No idea what that means. Not familiar with using this process. When I hit reply I'm in a "regular" email on my computer screen. Thank you. ... View more

Not sure what to say. The attachment was there because I "bcc'd" myself to make sure. Here it is again. Thanks. ... View more

Hello all. Here's an example. It's from a picture maybe 6-7 years ago but I've been finding a lot like this and I wind up cloning each line out inch by inch, and I gave up with that. I have NO idea where those lines come, I know nothing about them or how they're even created. Perhaps there was some editing on these 6-7 years ago, but I don't know. There's a few I want to keep and fix, but this is too much work to clone this all out by hand. See attached. Thank you. Diane G. ... View more

Thank you. I have no idea how it happened because they are images for many years ago that I recently opened to edit. Diane G. ... View more

No wonder I never heard of what you're talking about. I don't use a Mac computer. Thanks, however. ... View more

Rosetta? No idea what you are referring to. I'm talking about Color Efex Pro or Color Efex Pro 4 from the NIK Collection. Thank you. ... View more

Hello and thank you. I don't even bother with it in Photoshop 2023. It used to show up in the Filter but not now. However, I can access it in the newest version of Lightroom Classic, BUT NO MATTER WHAT I DO I cannot get Color Effex Pro or Color Effex Pro to work. When I right-click and select EDIT IN and then click on either of the two Color Effex Pro selections, another image is created in the "film strip" (the way it is SUPPOSED to), but ABSOLUTELY NOTHING OPENS UP on the screen. I am totally perplexed why that one ONLY does not work. Any ideas? Thanks much! Diane ... View more

Hello and thank you. After spending dozens of hours setting up everything on the hard drive, I won't go and undo everything I've done. I guess I could go into LrC and assign Keywords, but then I don't understand why the class supervisor has all his textures, etc., in Lightroom in folders and named the same way I prefer to do mine. Don't understand what giving keywords in LR has to do with what's on my hard drive. I've never used Keywords for anything previously nor understood or ever understood the catalog or what it's even for. I don't have tens of thousands of pictures like some. Guess I'm pretty confused now that I thought I wasn't, but you've been helpful enough and I've got a great starting point. Thank you! ... View more

Hi Rob.  I didn't respond to your email properly (replied to the actual email instead of replying to the response), and so I am copying it below to make sure you receive it.   Thanks, Rob!  Your email gave me an idea, and I've got all 1,700+ downloaded--in seconds!    However, let me explain this.  I have 84 folders (categories) and within many of the 84 folders are many subfolders (as many as 12 in some cases).  When I click on the "main folder" heading in LRC, all of the images show. One image, for example, shows 3 of the same fish next to each other. That is because I have it in 3 subfolders:  One is under "Fish"; one image is in "Pink" and one image is in "Whimsical Waters" subfolders.  After spending a week, hours a day, downloading, extracting, setting up folders, sorting, and subdividing these images it only made sense to take it a step further to categorize them within the subfolders especially if there might've been dozens of "textures" for example under that main texture folder.  If I'm looking for something I want to FIND IT--not SEARCH for it.   I understand that I can't go into the MAIN folder in LRC and delete duplicate images because if there were 3 fish and I deleted 2 fish, I'd be deleting 2 of them from 2 of the 3 subfolders, which would totally destroy my entire categorizing process with the subfolder.   Correct?   Thank you so much for your help!  Sometimes one can't "see the forest for the trees" and just getting away from the computer and reading your response led me down a different thought path which came to me in a matter of seconds!!!  This was the first time I attempted to do this; hence, the confusion/questions.   Voila!   Diane            ...

Thanks for your response! I do know how to create a folder, but this is what I'm trying to do. See below, and thanks! *Just like the original photo I attached, I want an alphabetical list of all of my Photoshop downloads (textures, images, decorative items, etc.). I spent over a week, hours a day downloading over 2 thousand items and having them set up on my hard drive. In some cases, like for "Textures", I have subfolders of the textures by "color", maybe another 10 folders with the parent folder.* *I want to duplicate what's on my hard drive to Lightroom, especially since I saw how the instructor had his on the screenshot that I attached to my original inquiry. For example under textures on my hard drive, I have a folder called PLAIN, and then within that PLAIN folder, there are almost a dozen folders by color. This seems like it might be over my head and take many, many hours to do. Then there are Collections and I don't know what that means. * *See, when I try to do this in LRC, I create a folder, but then have to create many subfolders and once I create the subfolder, it doesn't open up and allow me to select what I want to download into it.* *I think I might be fighting a losing battle here and will wind up when in Photoshop to just call up any textures, etc., through the folders I have organized on the C drive. This might be duplicating what I've already spent dozens of hours doing on the hard drive. * *Thanks again!* *Diane* ... View more
