This is a call to action. It requires a moment of your time to click a thumbs up/like vote on a YouTube comment I posted to correct what a competitor to Adobe Ps published in the past day. Goal: Correct a competing vendor’s untruthful claim that Photoshop’s Photo Restoration filter processing takes “hours” vs the vendor’s newly released competing feature.   I immediately got 5 Likes to my comment. In response, the competitor enlisted somebody to post a lengthy tirade bashing Adobe Photoshop which the competing vendor then “highlighted” (implying they agree…).   My comment is the 1st one – by “Fotomaker” – saying it doesn’t take “hours” for Photoshop’s Photo Restoration filter to operate (that's what the competitor claimed in the video narration).   I said, in my post, that it only takes “seconds” to deal with dust & scratches using the Ps Restore Photos filter.   Perhaps if Ps users/Adobe staff Like/Thumbs Up my YT comment, the competing vendor won’t make false claims in future… It is misleading to potential customers of Adobe Ps who see that YT video, as well as unfair and misleading to potential users of the competitor’s product.   This is the link to the YT channel if you want to endorse (aka, Like/Thumbs Up) my comment about actual Ps Photo Restoration filter processing time - including scratches removal (vs what the video claims): www.youtube.com/@topazlabs   If you click on the "Videos" tab on that channel, it is the video released May 8-9, 2025 titled, "Introducing Photo AI 4." ...

I've been using this filter for the past few weeks because I was making notes and developing a script for a video for YouTube. I'm in the middle of that project that I need to complete this week.   Tonight, when I go to the Neural Filters > Photo Restoration, I keep getting the message noted in the Subject line above - on both my Ps 2025 production release and Ps 2025 beta (each on different Win 11 systems - one a desktop AMD-based GPU, the other a laptop NVIDIA processor - respectively). In all tests tonight, I'm working with .jpg images - RGB mode even if black & white. I have Use Graphics Processor enabled on both systems.   I've shut down and restarted Ps. Doesn't help.   I am seeing a pattern - as I continue to try to diagnose this - that if there's a single subject in my image I don't get that Error message. The image I was working on earlier tonight has three subjects in it. That image consistently produced the Disabled error message.   I'm getting a bit frantic given the timeline I had to prep, record and post a video on this topic this week (week of March 16, 2025).   Does anyone know what's going on? What the ETA is to re-availability of an operational Photo Restoration Neural Filter for images with multiple subjects? Also, is there a reliable workaround?   Thanks for any help. ... View more

I'm not sure which is the correct place to post since I access the ACR Filter via Photoshop 2025. So, I posted under the Ps Community initially.   Here's a link to the bug/issue that developed on Feb. 14 when I updated to ACR 17.2 & that I reported in that other forum just now: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/update-to-latest-acr-rel-17-2-changed-panel-positions-in-unfixable-way/td-p/15158086 ...

Something seems to be buggy with Adobe CC. I'm unable to load any of my owned plugins to Ps 2025 beta (current rel.) on my Win 11 laptop (Acer Predator Helios 18). Can someone in development pls correct.   All my plugins are tagged "Not Compatible" and I want to be able to add some of them to the UI for the Ps beta.   I'm not running an ARM system.   My whole point of buying the NVIDIA processor laptop was to be able to run my beta Ps (and Substance) and production Ps (and Substance) apps on separate machines so no beta issues will impact the production version (that I've read others have experienced regularly).   Thx! For a fix and/or any other assist to help me load the needed plugins.   ... View more

I have subscriptions to the full Adobe CC suite of apps and the full Substance suite. I have the Ps 2025 beta and 3D Substance beta newly installed on a Win 11 laptop (Acer Predator). I'm trying to download Substance 3D Assets (3D models) that I can experiment with in both those programs (Ps beta & 3D Viewer beta). I'm having no luck.   How do I download free/included with my Substance subscription 3D models/assets to my computer to be able to work with them?   I click on Download (in Substance Assets online) and nothing happens. All I see besides that button that does nothing is a box at upper right that says "Subscribe". But I'm already a subscriber and my avatar is also visible up there showing I'm logged in. I'm feeling puzzled and frustrated...   Thanks for any help. I just bought this computer so I could explore features of these two betas - Ps and Substance 3D Viewer and keep them segregated from my production apps. ... View more

This happens every year when I update to the new annual version. So I dread (and delay) updating. It happens even though I click the option to carry everything from one year's release to the next.   Only the default LUTs appear in my new Ps 2025 under Adjustment Layer options. I want my full collection of lots of LUTs (some custom developed by me, some purchased and downloaded from the Web). But now I can't see where to find the previous lists on my Win 11 PC in order to (yet again as in past yrs) copy them and paste them into the Ps 2025 file hierarchy.   I already tried looking under:   C:Users,[Me],Appdata,Roaming,Adobe,AdobePs2024,Settings       - and I don't see a listing for them there. I know I've found the files and been able to copy them in the past (b/c, as noted, this annoyance happens every year).   If I'm looking in the wrong place or there's another method to find, retrieve and copy all my LUTs, not just the defaults, to Ps 2025 so they show up in the list when I click on the 3D LUTs box under the Color Lookup adjustment layer I'd greatly appreciate it. Thx in advance for the help! ... View more

The rain parametric filter is changing my full color image to an odd BW (almost like a grey negative vs a nice tonal BW representation of the image) with any setting above light rain. It shouldn't do that.   Win 11. Acer Predator Helios 18 (Intel i9 14th gen, RTX 4090, 16GB VRAM 32GB RAM) ... View more

I work on a Win 11 Pro PC.   I want to back up all my Ps Brushes before updating from Ps 2024 to Ps 2025. And, I want to back them up to a folder on my PC that is not in the Adobe presets file hierarchy on my C: drive.   I know there's an "Export Brushes" option in Ps under the brush tips panel under the Settings asterisk.   Here's the key background info & my question. I have a ton of brushes (Adobe, Web, custom that I've created). I have them organized into topline folders and multiple sub-folders under the topline folders. The sub-folders are where my actual brushes reside. If I click on a topline folder name and then Export will that capture all the sub-folders and the specific brushes (.abr's) within them?   I want to retain the organizational structure and not lose any of the individual brushes when creating brush backups. If I have to back up all sub-folders and brushes individually, I think Adobe will be up to Ps 2026 before I get that finished. If I only must click/export the topline folders, then I have about 10 categories (with multiple sub-categories each) of brushes to export.   Thx! I hope that makes sense .... I hope no one says I have too many brushes!   😉 ... View more

I want to get a new, high-powered Win 11 laptop (to complement my current desktop PC) to run Photoshop beta, Adobe Substance betas, Boris FX apps & Topaz Labs apps (newer ones with overly demanding AI models...). I don't have space for a 2nd desktop/tower. And, I want to keep my AI demanding beta apps separated from my desktop PC's production apps - on this new laptop.   My uses are photography with compositing that includes a relatively heavy amt of AI, 3D content generation, photo/image processing with demanding - aka, not well written code - AI models . That means I not only need a laptop that can process AI, etc. relatively quickly but also full RGB for my image processing. I'm not a gamer. And, I'm not rich & have no one to bill and cannot write off as biz expense (darn it!). I was hoping to stay in the roughly $2500 price range - including cyber/Blk Fri deal promos.   The specs I'm looking for include:  Intel i9 14th gen, NVIDIA 4090 (I need it for the next spec feature even if on a laptop it functions more like a 4080 perf wise), 16GB VRAM, at least 32GB RAM, 1-2 TB storage, full gamut support for RGB (the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen9 doesn't offer this), stable reliable power use w/out overheating (I've read Gigabyte Aorus 17x reviews that consistently/repeatedly mention 'power issues').   Can anyone recommend a laptop they've been using (or, know of for me to research more...) that meets my specs and performs well with the apps I've noted (above) I want to use it with?   I got excited about a few (especially the Lenovo until I read about the lack of full sRGB/RGB gamut support). Now I've shifted direction & am looking into the MSI Raider GE78HX 17" (Win 11 Pro/Home). Does anyone use this for apps noted above? Any insights re: your experiences with it?   Thx in advance for any suggestions! I'm trying to tap Blk Fri/Cyber Monday deals if I can .... ... View more

Tonight I logged onto Ps 2024 (production version, no betas running on my Win 11 Pro PC) and all my Actions (with the exception of "Default Actions") are missing. I've collected a lot of actions over the years. And, created ones of my own. I use a lot of them daily. This is devastating. Is there a way to find them if they're not showing up when I click on the sideways arrow?   I have not run any updates or installed anything into the Ps 2024 that I use daily. Nothing should have impacted them.   In fact, I'd planned to back everything up in the coming week prior to migrating to Ps 2025. But my mother, sadly, died in the past 3 weeks and I hadn't gotten to it. In fact was using Ps to prepare things related to her for newspapers, tributes, etc.   I'd really appreciate it if someone can help me restore my Actions. I'm feeling very stressed right now. Thx. ... View more

That was such a great prototype/simulation in 2023 that would be of practical use for a fair number of photo processing projects. I haven't seen any mentions of it from beta users yet either (of which I'm not one...).   Will it be beta'd for commercial release this year? I hope so. ... View more
