General
The cheapest way to get Photoshop is with the Photography Plan, which includes Lightroom and costs about $10/month depending on where you are. And yes, it's cheaper than getting PS alone (long story, don't ask).
Photoshop CS2 is NOT (and has never been) free.

Tutorials for experimenting with house paint colors?
I’ve always found it difficult to experiment with paint colors for interior and exterior scenes in photoshop. I find it’s hard to give it a realistic look so I can actually try out color schemes. Do you have any tutorials or resources you personally like or helped you crack the paint color code?

Help enhance this photo of my late mother.
Hi all. I've never done this before and not sure how it works.
My mother passed away in 2019 from leaukima. (AML)
She loved cycling on her schwinn bicycle. Unfortunately this is the only photo I have of her. Can anyone help me enhance it?

Is there any AI or method to identify if photos have an orange, red, blue, or purple tint?
Sometimes I have a tough time detecting/identifying tints, especially red tints in dark areas (for example, dark grey with a slight red tint) during my editing, due to tight deadlines on every project. Sometimes I miss checking those parts. So I was just wondering if there are any AI tools that can help me instantly identify tint colors in my images.
Thank you!

!!PHOTOSHOP NEWBIE!!
Glad tobe a member. Hope this first post is not too lengthy but I thought I should provide a bit of background so that whomever can assist me knows a bit about my "computer past and present." I have fairly strong PC software skills. (Guess this is telling my age, but worked with computers when personal computers first became popular. Also, use to train CEOs and others to use DOS. Despite having strong PC skills and the ability to quickly grasp new concepts, I am having difficulty grasping basic elements in Adobe Photoshop. In the past, I was proficient with PageMaker which years and years ago Adobe acquired from Aldus.So, graphic software is not foreign to me. I also love tinting and painting with Photoshop. (I am an Assemblage/Collage artist.and this feature works wonderfully for some of my projects.) I am an extremely quick learner. That being said, I've always been the type of individal who can tackle more complicated things easier than basic things as I tend to over think the basics. Bottom line, despite YouTubes, Photoshop Classroom in a book, I am having a difficult time grasping the most basic of basics that one must know - layers! Again, I think I am overthinking it. If I was six-years old, I'd have nailed Photoshop by now ... lol! So, I am desparate for any assistance. I have a current Microsoft Surface with Photoshop 2024.

Howto> Automated Extend Canvas with Edge Colors for Bleed
I’m looking for some help with automating a process in Photoshop. I need to extend the canvas of 100+ images without scaling it, and fill the new canvas area using the colors from the outer edges of the image. This is essential for creating a bleed for printing purposes. I tried with an action, but fail to select a thin strip of pixels from each of the 4 outer edges at every step, so i guess this is not the right approach
thanks

Took this photo at a bird park and want to remove the fence. The generative fill and masking/content aware fill won't work. My question is is there maybe another way because the fence is blurry and the color behind it is pretty visible.

Is this PC enough to run PS for web design asset creation?
Hey all. I'm trying to get back into web design and want to use PS for creating assets. I haven't done much in this area for around 10 years or so, but life hasn't gone how I had planned and, due to medical issues, this area of employment seems to be my best option moving forward. My PC was beefy back in the day, but it's been 12 or so years. I've installed PS, but I receive a message that my GPUs are incompatible with DX12. I can access the program and it seems I can do basic stuff like cropping and such, though it is much slower than I remember it being. I haven't tried anything more advanced than that.
Is this hardware enough to do what I need it to do? If not, what are my least expensive options? (broke and unemployed, so when I say least expensive, I really mean it) I've tried PS alternatives, but struggle with adapting. It may have been a decade, but I guess it's like riding a bike in a way. I find myself trying to do things as I would in PS, but they don't work the same in these alternatives. Since I'll be digging in for the next 6 months to re-learn HTML, CSS, JS, and other web design stuff, I don't want to have to add in dedicated time to learning PS alternatives too. I want to be able to just utilize what I already know in PS.
Thanks much in advance!

How do I get Photoshop 2024 to not pre-crop my RAW/RAF images?
I noticed today that when i open RAW (FujiFilm RAF specifically), Phtoshop pre-crops the image. Not like it scales the image, but it's actually cropping them. The color data is also vastly different from when I open up the RAW in windows.
How do i get it to not do this? It's messing with my compositions.

Adobe Camera RAW misbehaving
What is this and why does it happen? The file looks fine in the left panel (thumbnails), and also all good when saved, but on the working screen looks corrupted/artifacting. How do I fix it? It started happening yesterday - first few photos are ok, then it starts and it's every single photo thereafter. Photo in comment.

'Generative Fill' is continually blocking results incorrectly
I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this, but as of the last few days, it seems like Generative Fill is constantly blocking results. Before it happened every so often, but now it's happening almost every single time. Perhaps it has something to do with the latest update? Has anyone else been experiencing the same issue?

Creating Video Collages?
Hi all, odd request: I'm looking to cut up a variety of videos into shapes, and then arrange those shapes into a kind of video collage. So, like, textures of water running in the shape of a circle, placed like eyes over textures of sand in the shape of a face. Something like that.
Are there any good tutorials for this technique? What is it even called? I have tried working with masks, but I am not sure that would work for multiple video sources. I know I can do it with images, but video seems to have different rules. Help appreciated! Thanks!

How to practice making style and getting better and
I am sorry for this post but I was just wondering how would I start practicing and getting better. I’ve watched some YouTube videos and follow tutorials but I just wind up using the same PSD for other designs I make sometimes and don’t really learn anything from it and can’t really use anything just rewatch the video and can’t really make my own flair.
Thank you guys in advance!

Hallooo, still a beginner finding my style. U like?
Basically took 3 knights cut them out, found a castle background, changed the two swords, added a crow to the hooded Knight, added a portal. Now fun part begins, colors, the middle Knight was legit black and white so had to kind of blend it in. The one on the right was much more vibrant had to tone it down so it fits the environmental, added a ray of sun, 2 textures, some haze and voila oh and also podtsl was green so chait to that color and had to color the crown as well.

Is it impossible to import images without adding them as layers (similar to import in premiere)?
How can I import a load of images without having them become layers? I just want them to be stored as references in the photoshop project without actually placing them in the project, similar to how I can have a folder of videos and audio and whatnot in an "assets" area if you know what I mean... I can't find anything like this in photoshop and I really don't wanna keep having to go back and forth between my file explorer and photoshop to decide out of the 200+ images which ones I want to use for which prototype projects...

Does anyone know how to fix these gradient lines on layer masks when painting with a feathered brush tool? Just after a nice blur when blending photos etc but can't seem to get rid of them even when blurring the layer mask over and over. Any ideas?
