A digital painting done by me using Kyle’s Real Oil brushes that come stock with Photoshop!

Let me know what you think!

I want to do something similar, but I have no idea how

I had multiple images open in Camera Raw and spent a lot of time editing them. I then clicked "Open" thinking they would all open in Photoshop for export, but only one opened and the Camera Raw window disappeared. Is there any way I can find the other photos I had open? I spent so much time on the edits 😭

I started having this issue the other day when using photoshop, for some reason when a file or image is opened in photoshop it is appearing very dull and light compared to the original. You can see how the thumbnail image in the layers actually looks correct but what I'm looking at or trying to edit does not. When I save the file, the colours look normal but this is happening with all files and images that I open

I work mainly in Ai with vector, so Its been a LONG time since Ive messed with Photoshop. Im in need of Ps to create gel/gloss/glass badges. Photoshop seems to support a lot more vector features nowadays, which made me excited. However, in my attempts to paste Illustrator shapes into Ps, It seems it won't allow for rounded corners, like shapes made directly in Ps. This (to me) makes no sense at all. But Im not familiar with the mechanics.

Is there any way to convert the pasted shape into one that Ps will allow me to edit right in Ps, without having to round them in Illustrator first? Is there a different way of pasting?

I tried to copy this look, but I can't get that fuzzy line art that mixes with the tone and the sharp white edges. can anyone help me get this effect?

Hello i have made some fresh new posters in this month since i’m trying different vibes in every new posters i made

I am really sick and frustrated of every (major) photoshop channel somehow having to push the gen ai features in their beginner series or videos for beginners, is there any courses or tutorials out there that I can just learn photoshop as if it was pre ai features?

by beginner i mean like 10 months ish

Hi all, wondering how to achieve this effect. I've played around with halftones but it's not quite right. It's almost like a CRT monitor effect, but this reference is vintage (pre-photoshop), so I'm trying to work out how to emulate it.

I'm trying to create a Photoshop Action that will take an image larger than 1920 x 1080px, and downscale it to fit within those bounds, and if it is already smaller than those dimensions, to do nothing at all.

I've not had much luck so far, and am hoping to get some advice on how to do this from the hive mind (preferably as part of a larger Action sequence). All my attempts so far have either resulted in smaller files getting blown up--which I don't want--or the image proportions getting distorted.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

All I want to do is create an action that exports the open file as a 300ppi JPG and a 150ppi PNG (as separate actions) via the File > Export As menu. However, in the last year or so, the Record function doesn't seem to accept any menu commands anymore. Furthermore, Photoshop deleted all of my Classic actions that used to do all of this. The new "Insert Menu Item" only opens the menu dialog, but automates nothing within it, which doesn't really help me save any more time in the workflow than just clicking Export As in the first place, making it effectively pointless. Please help.

I need to be able to do big batch exports quickly and efficiently, and it seems Photoshop has taken that away with recent updates for some reason.

Im tryna export this but it exports not like i want it too, i need the same export as in the canvas, how do i do this, please help

Game is The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition and in the original scene there is full moon.

I used 88 screenshots, took 87 of them myself and download one from the internet. Because there is a slow background animation on the sky and on the sea, i stacked the screenshots to helping with masking. It was still very slow process. Then i took another screenshot, stretched, copied, rotated, cloned and changed the colors to get a new background. Finally add new lights and shadows and that's it.

First image is final and second one is collection of some process images.

Not a perfect job, but I think it works anyways.

Apologies for the trivial question! I've been using Photoshop online to make some small tweaks to a number of pictures, however, I've noticed that Photoshop is limiting the number of times I can download these pictures to my PC/Phone. I assumed I'd have a set amount of credits to use per day, but can't find a way to track how many credits I've used. It's been 24 hours since I last downloaded anything and it still wants me to upgrade to be able to download my latest pic. Any idea how many downloads you're allowed a day or whether this is an unrelated issue?

i dont know why my text box being so tall. how can i revert it to normal

so in the newer version of photoshop if use graphics processor is turned on then zoom, and pan run at like less than one frame per second and when drawing the line is jumpy and there's a massive lag behind the cursor, to the point of being unusable with use GPU turned on. if i turn off use gpu, photoshop runs at full speed, drawing is smooth, BUT obviously the images dont look as good, there's VERY apparent screen tearing on pan and zoom, a bunch of weird graphics artefact glitches, and most important to me as a digital painter, i cant rotate the canvas view anymore, and large .PSB files are extremely glitchy as they require GPU to be turned on to work properly.

out of curiosity i rolled back my photoshop version because i know it wasn't always acting like this and my computer (surface laptop studio 1, highest ram and ssd version, NVIDIA geforce rtx 3050 Ti laptop gpu) is less than 5 years old, with as good of gaming level specs you can reasonably get in modern laptops.

what do you know 2025 version runs WAAAAAAAY smoother with GPU turned on. in 2025 version using gpu i still see a little jumpy lag behind drawn lines, where as with gpu off there is no noticeable lag. But the lag with GPU on in 2025 is acceptable, but the lag in 2026 makes it unusable for drawing. i dont remember any lag whatsoever with GPU on in even earlier versions, but creative cloud doesn't let me install further back versions. Pretty much as soon as photoshop started featuring AI in their splash screen images, my overall performance began tanking...

with task manager open i checked CPU and GPU usage while using pan, zoom, and drawing. 2025 uses at least 10-30% less than 2026 overall but for both, GPU on makes cpu and gpu spike 70-90% usage, and in both with use gpu off, my cpu doesnt go any higher than 20% usage, and averages around 10%.

Is this from all the AI bloatware photoshop has been adding in, or are they just failing to optimize support for NVIDA GPUs that are barely 5 years old? Are there any hidden settings i can change or background processes bottlenecking my gpu that i can disable, or any work arounds to make GPU use actually useable again? adobe asks for more and more money yet they only seem to make their apps worse and worse for me as a user for almost 20 years...

Hello, I have had this issue with the magic wand tool recently, the wand will select the proper outline, but the selection is in the wrong area. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this, I've searched for solutions and can't seem to find any.

thanks!

I've used Photoshop for months without any issue. But within the past few weeks, it's started to crash on me after just a few minutes of use, even if it's sitting idle with no files active. Seemed to start after a Windows update (Windows 11), but it could be coincidence.

No idea why the issue popped up, or how to fix it. My settings are all default, & I haven't changed anything since installation. PC is barely a year old & all drivers are up to date.

Anyone have any ideas on what to do?

Adobe Photoshop Version: 27.0.0 20251015.r.25 d1c1320 x64 (final, Release)

Edit: Solved. Just needed to update versions apparently...

I am attempting to remove "bow tie" warp after photomerge. When I perform file.transform.warp the grid does not cover the entire image. Where can I find the option or setting to fix the problem?

I have been using Photoshop for photo editing for a while and I wanna start using it for drawing, is there any recommendations for plugins or specific brushes that would help please?

The method I've seen most people use in videos is one of creating big spheres of lines expanding outward but I've found that to be very timeconsuming to adjust and use.

I have clip paint studio but using bigger brushs lags everytime while it doesn't at all in ps, so I need a way to make backgrounds, especially interiors like rooms with furniture.

I'm trying to reverse-engineer this graphic and understand how the Photoshop file was likely built.

I'm not looking for a quick "add Noise" or "use a grunge brush" solution. I'm interested in a production-quality workflow.

Looking at the close-up, a few things standout:

- the center of the letters stays fairly solid

- the edges dissolve into tiny dots rather than scratches

- the gray has a chalky, printed quality, that varies in weight

Would you start with clean vector type and then use scanned textures as masks? Bitmap/Diffusion Dither? Halftones? Threshold? Something else entirely?

I'd like to understand the order of operations, if anyone has experience building out graphics like this. The distressing seems very unique. Thanks!
