    Photoshop Brush Takes Extreme Time to Perform Task

    Photoshop exhibited none of these issues a week ago. I'm not using new hardware or systems. Maybe an update issue??

    Photoshop Brush Takes Extreme Time to Perform Task

    Hello Folks, Seeking suggestions to fix extremely slow Photoshop brush. I followed the usual internet suggestions, to no avail. (Turned off smoothing, optimized RAM use, etc. All worked ok a few days ago). I'm using Photoshop CC version 22.5 and the current version of Lightroom. I've also...

    Cannot Add Filter to a Smart Object...Help Appreciated!

    Folks, I think I got it to work! There is something that was hidden from view. This is what I noticed: After clicking on filter, filter gallery, then choosing a gallery, (artistic), then choosing the filter (paint daubs), there is a box below the adjustments. At the top, in the box, is the...

    Cannot Add Filter to a Smart Object...Help Appreciated!

    I will try to post screen shots tomorrow. I am using RGB color mode. None of the filters will work from the filter gallery with a smart object layer. However, when I do use a filter from outside the "filter gallery," such as "blur," "gaussian blur," it works as intended. I also tried another...

    Cannot Add Filter to a Smart Object...Help Appreciated!

    I did think of that, but no, the layer was not locked. For some reason, the filter I am selecting is not making it to the layer.

    Cannot Add Filter to a Smart Object...Help Appreciated!

    Thank you both for your response. I didn't have any masks on the layer and the layer was selected. Very strange...The filter never made it to the layer. I'll try to produce a couple of screen shots and post them. Thanks again. -Dave

(I tried to add a "paint daubs" filter to the image: Filter/Artistic/Paint Daubs/enter or OK). Nothing happened, the filter was NOT added to the...

    Adobe Camera Raw - Spot Removal Brush Question

    Please disregard. I think I have figured it out. Initially I had selected several images and checked the "select all" prior to my cleanup. When I did not chose the "select all," the spot healing brush worked as it should. Dave

    Adobe Camera Raw - Spot Removal Brush Question

    Dear Folks, I have Photoshop CS6 and Adobe Camera Raw 8.3. I am working on a TIFF file that I opened from Bridge. When removing small spots in ACR with the Spot removal brush, set to "heal," I used to get a red circle for the area to be cleaned, attached to a green circle which represented the...

    Having trouble with INVERSE selection...

    Lynda.com, "Photoshop CS6 Selections and Layer Masking Workshop". I'm using my own photos after I "get" the concept. I do believe I now understand that part of the lesson. Now I have to practice enough so it becomes cerebral muscle memory before it falls through the many cracks up there. Thanks...

    Having trouble with INVERSE selection...

    Dear Folks, I must be missing something regarding how to invert (inverse) a selection. Here is what I did: *Selection made via a channel *With the selection still visible, I created a hue/saturation adjustment layer. This then only changed only the the image area that was selected, as...
