    Sluggish Response Time in PSG

    Anybody else having trouble with the PSG website? For about a month now, I often experience very sluggish response. Opening the website can sometimes take upwards of one minute. Once I'm in, it's often very slow navigating among the forums and threads. I'd say this happens about 50% of the time...

    Photoshop and AI

    @JeffK , That edit is pretty good ! I'm still (and always) against AI on philosophical principles, but I can't argue with the result.

    What Do You Think About AI in Photoshop?

    Artificial intelligence is in the news a lot and has also made its way into Photoshop with such things as Gigapixel AI. I have some thoughts and I’m curious what others think. Hypothetically, let’s say there is a new Photoshop plug-in where you simply enter a set of instructions. For example...

    How to make a cut at exactly 45 degrees

    This feels like a beginner question that I’m embarrassed to ask. I have a rectangle on its own layer. I want to cut off the ends in a 45-degree bevel, as if the rectangle were one side of a beveled picture frame. How would I do that? I got it done in a complicated way by constructing a custom...

    Movie Poster Effect

    I saw a poster today for a new movie (in the U.S.) called Cocaine Bear, about a bear that finds and eats 70 pounds of cocaine and then starts rampaging all over the place. The movie itself is probably not my cup of tea, but I did like the poster and I gave myself the challenge of trying to do it...

    Make fireplace grout pattern dark.

    Nice job @IamSam. Can you explain what you did? I tried this one myself, but didn't post it. Mine came out ok, but yours is much cleaner and more consistent. Here's what I did: Fill the entire shape of the tiled wall with black. Apply Blend-If to allow the black to appear only if the...

    Ability to Underline Text

    The ability to underline text was removed from the PSG functionality after the last big overhaul several months ago. Any chance of restoring that? It sometimes helps to underline things, for added emphasis.

    Understanding the Contour Editor

    Does anybody know of a tutorial that explains the Contour Editor? Photoshop comes with several pre-set contour settings and also has an editor where you can customize and create your own. But, other than trial & error guesswork, I can't figure out how to predict ahead of time what a particular...

    Recent Pencil Drawings

    Lately I've been studying figure drawing—full figures and portraits. Been drawing my whole life, mostly in an intuitive, observational way. But now I want to be more academically "correct" and more formal about it, including a detailed knowledge of anatomy. I bought about eight books on how to...

    PSG Error Message

    Has anybody else been getting this message lately while trying to access PSG? I've had this happen several times before, where it won't let me in. Not sure if it's something on my end or, as the message implies, the PSG server can't handle the volume. Usually, if I wait five or ten minutes then...

    Question About the Hand Tool

    After all these years you'd think I would know this. If you view this video starting at the 2:00 mark, he uses the hand tool to reposition the image on the screen. I'm not talking about moving the Layer Styles window, I'm talking about how he moved the image itself on the screen. In my...

    Problem Opening File in Camera Raw

    I've never encountered this problem before, but in the past few weeks I've noticed that it's happening more and more. This is a jpeg that I downloaded. If I simply open the jpeg in Photoshop, it opens fine. But if I attempt to open it in Adobe Camera Raw, I get the strange distortion that you...

    Problems With Clipping an Adjustment Layer

    I have a mystery where my adjustment layers work fine if they are unclipped, but as soon as I try to clip them to my base layer they stop working. I’m not sure why this would be. I downloaded some hair brushes that work great if the hair color is very dark, but they do a poor job for blond or...

    Trying to Search Old PSG Posts

    I was trying to find a post I submitted a year ago. But when I search on "Rich54" the search results stop after 10 pages. In my case, 10 pages does not take me far enough back to Nov 2020. Is the limit of 10 pages a new thing? I seem to recall that I used to be able to search many years in the...

    Your Favorite "New" Photoshop Features

    I am still using Photoshop CS5, which must be at least ten years old by now. I don't feel any pressing need to upgrade, but I'm curious whether there are any new Photoshop features introduced in recent years that you absolutely love, use all the time and cannot do without. What "big thing" am I...

    How to Disable Layer Styles Within a Mask

    In this image, I have a pole on its own layer with a Bevel & Emboss layer style. I'm trying to place the pole in the guy's hands. But as you can see, when I mask around his fingers the Bevel & Emboss layer style gets in the way. I once saw a Photoshop tip that addresses this exact issue...

    Accidental Keyboard Shortcut for Pen Tool?

    This seems to happen to me every few weeks. When I use the Pen Tool, my path selections suddenly become inverted because the icon, where the red arrow is pointing, becomes active. Does anybody know of a keyboard shortcut that would adjusts these settings? My theory is that I am accidentally and...

    How do I upload images from my computer into a Private Message?

    In a private message (conversation), I see where you can upload an image from a URL site. But I don't see anyplace where an image can be loaded directly from my computer into a PM, or even Copy/Pasted into the PM. Am I not seeing it? Thanks

    Two Questions About Custom Brushes

    I'm interested in downloading a set of brushes for various water effects such as splashes, sprays, spouts, garden hose streams, droplets, foam, etc. Two questions: On most websites where custom brushes are offered, they usually describe the package of brushes but they do not provide a preview...

    Problems with Opening Images Saved from PSG

    This has now happened two times in a row when I try to work on an image that somebody has posted. As I've done successfully a thousand times before, I right-click on the image in the PSG forum and select Save As, and then I save it to my computer to work on it. But then, when I go to open the...
