    Clipboard Default Resolution

    I copy and paste a lot of photos into photoshop (2022). Each time I select "file/new" the "New Document" panel comes up with clipboard selected. The default resolution is 72 ppi and I would like to change it to 300 ppi.. I can't find anything in preferences relating to this. I can set it...

    Swatches appearance

    I could use some instructions on how to set my swatches in PS 2020 and PS2021 to appear as they do in my old version CS5.1 if it's possible. Here is what I have now and then what I would like to have for working on most of my pictures. Any help appreciated. Thanks very much!

    Sort layers alphabetically?

    Maybe a "not-So-Smart" question, but I want to set the order of layers alphabetically. I work on a lot of damaged photos for restoration and some colorizing. In the process I use many layers for the selections that I want to individually control and in the case of coloring, adjust color changes...

    Grouping Selections

    I do colorizing on many black and white photos, many of which are old family portraits and I need to make many selections in the process. My question is: Can selections be organized by groups? Can individual selections be moved in their order? Is there a limit on selections? Any insights will...

    Clone stamp question

    Sometimes when I use the clone stamp tool I would like it to go in a straight line. Not north/south or east/west direction, but on an odd angle and continuing in a straight line at the angle needed. I've tried as many keystroke combinations that I can think of without success. Sometimes I...

    PM question

    A very elementary, possibly ignorant, question. Do I begin a PM by using the "start conversation" link in a thread? I'm hesitant to try until I know for sure. Thanks very much.

    Opening options panel

    I can't figure out how to have the "add an adjustment layer" and the "add a layer style" panels open the lists up vertically instead of down where I'm required to scroll up in order to access the options. In other words, I would like to see the entire list when I click on the icon. See the two...

    Wacom tablet color problem

    I have a new Wacom Intuos Pro and it was working fine until this morning. All of a sudden it began painting with the brush tool in the background color instead the foreground color. The mouse works correctly, but not the Wacom stylus. I'm sure I screwed up as a new used, but I can't find a...

    Opaque custom brush tool

    I'm having a problem making a brush preset tool. I want to have a push-pin tool that I can use as a brush for placing wherever I need it. I can make the tool, but it always goes into a photo in a transparent state. I would like to do it in an opaque mode so as to cover the background behind...

    Quick Mask in CC 2017

    I have CC on two machines and recently updated my desktop iMac to CC2017. I'm not sure yet, if I like it or not. The first thing I found is that when doing a selection, the Quick Mask function does not work the way I'm used to. When I make a selection and highlight it with a Quick Mask it...

    Sierra and CS5 compatibility?

    I did a search and did not find any threads about this so I thought it might be informative. I have heard on the Mac forums that Adobe CS5 Extended in the disc form will not be compatible with Mac's new operating system Sierra. Does anyone have any info. I sure hope this is not the case...

    Spin Blur Filter

    I'm trying to use the Spin Blur tool to add some radial blur to the wheels of a stationary vehicle. I basically understand how the tool works, but I am not able get the center of the blur tool to be in the center of the blur. Every time I open the tool the center (or bullseye) is off center...

    Quick Mask Opacity

    I recently bought a new MacBook Pro and anytime I use Quick Mask when doing a selection the red color has a very low opacity compared to the same on my iMac 21". It might be something simple, but I haven't been able to increase the opacity. I've included two screen shots, one form the laptop...

    Can PS synchronize multiple photos like Camera Raw?

    I want to do a time lapse of the formation of tree blossoms, but I want to remove some items from the photos like the power lines in this sample. I can do that in PS, but I don't know how to synchronize the changes to 300 photos. I can synchronize easily in Camera Raw, but don't know how to...

    Isolating and copying Text Letters

    I have a very old (circa 1880/1890) photo of my Great Grandfather's General Merchandise store. I'm trying to restore it as well as possible. I've been able to brighten it up and remove some noise using Camera Raw and some adjustment layers, but I can't figure out how to isolate and copy the...

    Upgrade from CS5 to CS6?

    I currently have CS5 Extended which I purchased on a hard disk, and would like to upgrade to CS6. My question is, can CS6 be obtained in any way other than Adobe Creative Cloud? That, on a monthly basis, does not interest me at all. Also have there ever been upgrades of Photoshop from one...

    RAW file extensions show as jpeg

    I can not get PS and Camera Raw to show my RAW file extensions correctly. All RAW files show everywhere as JPEG files. For this posting I took a few in RAW and the only place I can verify that is in the Apple Photos program. I've checked all the Prefs and don't see anything that I should...

    Filter-Stylize. Only 3 effects available.

    First of all, I'm using Mac Yosemite 10.10.4 and CS5 Extended. I've trying to learn several filter effects and when I try and use Filter-Stylize all it will let me open is Emboss, Fit Edges and Solarize. Can't use any of the other options. I've tried several different images, looked at...

    Brush cursor question

    When I use a brush for any procedure I use a circular cursor. My problem is that I can not get the working area of the cursor to fill the circle. It only fills a portion. It would be much easier to move the cursor circle along an edge when painting out a background if the working area filled...
