Welcome to the Adobe Photoshop subreddit. This group is for general questions, tricks, techniques, troubleshooting and so forth.

Useful Resources


Our Rules


  • No Photoshop editing requests. Check /r/picrequests or /r/photoshoprequest instead

  • No spam. Posting content with the sole purpose of promoting your YouTube channel / website is not allowed. No URLs or social media handles in post titles.

Don't post Photoshop creations that promote real brands or products (such as advertisements, YouTube thumbnails etc.)

  • Low quality content will be removed. Mods can and will remove content that does not meet our quality standards, such as memes, face swaps, beginner/low effort/unoriginal edits, low resolution images or questions like "is this photoshopped?" or "What font is this?". For image identification see /r/sleuths and /r/RBI, for fonts see /r/identifythisfont

  • You can post content you have made with Photoshop as long as you have actually put some effort in.

  • Don't use the subreddit as a personal art gallery You can share your creations, but you must wait at least 10 days before posting more. You can share several works at once by making an album.

  • Also consider being an active member of the community by commenting on others' posts and helping users solve their problems.

    Digital paintings should be posted on a more relevant subreddit, such as /r/DigitalPainting

  • When posting your Photoshop creations, explain the process and context. Leave a comment shortly explaining the process of how you created your artwork / edit. Posting before/after pics is encouraged.

  • Also explain the motivation or context behind your work, or what you were trying to achieve.

  • Use descriptive titles. Posts with titles like "A composite I made", "Made this because I was bored", or "what do you guys think about this?" will be removed.

  • Don't humble brag with titles like "My first try at Photoshop, It's not much but I'm proud.". UPPER CASE TITLES and "Urgent!" posts will also be removed.

  • No Piracy. Posts and comments about DRM circumventing / file sharing of Photoshop or any other commercial software will result in a permanent ban.

  • No document forgery. Asking how to alter official papers, screenshots, ID cards, licenses, masking signatures and removing watermarks will also result in a permanent ban.

  • No NSFW content.

  • Be nice. Don't be rude, period. Try to follow the reddiquette

  • NO PHOTOSHOP REQUESTS!!! in case you missed it the first time around.

  • 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.

    • Message the mods if you think you are getting blocked by the spam filter or have any questions, comments or suggestions.

    What's the easiest way of combining different images into one like that? Is there a tutorial on it somewhere?

    Unable to type copyright logo

    Hi there,

    I am trying to find a way to type a simple copyright logo onto an image in Photoshop Express on a Chromebook.

    Using the text tool you can type or paste plain text but for some reason the copyright logo character doesn’t work.

    Does anyone know a way around this?

    Thanks so much,

    David

    Hi this is probably a weird request but I like capturing weather satellite imagery as a hobby, my satellite dish is small so when the signal is weaker I get these horizontal lines, is there an easy way to remove these? I tried content aware fill but doing these line by line is quite the job.

    Problem with brush rotation

    Hey all,

    I'm using several brushes to paint with a Wacom Cintiq and I like the brush rotation feature (I mean the brush option, not the old art pen feature). But for some reason it stops working after some time. The "brush tip" freezes and I can't rotate it anymore. Has anyone an idea how to solve this? It's very annoying and I have to restart PS to make it work again.

    Export as camera RAW?

    I’m new to retouching photographs in Photoshop - my usual workflow has all been in Lightroom Classic. My question is, if I’ve done some retouching in Photoshop and then want to bring the photo into Lightroom to edit the color, light, etc., what’s the best way to do that? I know you can’t export an image as RAW once it’s been imported into Photoshop and edited but I don’t want to lose all the information in the highlights and shadows to work with. Is there a usual process/workflow that photographers use I’m unaware of?

    Question about Photoshop Plug-ins

    Hi! Had a question about plug-ins for Photoshop, and am hoping this is the right thread/forum.

    I use Photoshop for making comics, there are other drawing apps, but Photoshop has always been my go to. The only thing it's missing for me, is a perspective grid. I saw a video where someone used a plug-in that allowed them to use 1,2 and 3 point perspectives, and draw lines that snapped to the perspective lines. It was over 6 years ago, though, so not sure if it would still be available, or where to look!

    Would anyone know if there is a perspective plug-in for Photoshop? I've never used plug-ins before, so it's kind of new territory for me. Any info, or sites/resources would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Is there a pref/setting to pre-select the text object's existing font in the menu?

    When I click on the font menu for a selected text object, it defaults to the top of the alphabet/recently used fonts, versus highlighting the current font in order within the list. So if I was using Petrucci, I'd have to scroll allllllll the way down back to P to keep auditioning fonts beyond.

    Is there a pref setting for this behavior?

    Live updating: Appearance fill panel vs fill panel from double-clicking object

    I'm back using PS after a long hiatus and this immediately struck me as being odd. If you have a shape selected and click the fill icon in the toolbar or in the appearance panel, any color changes aren't reflected until you click OK. Whereas, if you double-click the shape, when you make color adjustments in *that* window, they're live-updated.

    Huh?

    photoshop no longer asks if I want to apply transformation

    it just automatically applies the transformation as soon as I click on something else (the zoom tool for instance). I don't know what caused photoshop to start doing this but it's extremely obnoxious. I have searched online for an answer to this problem but I can't find any mention of it.

    Curves adjustment layer sepia tinge

    So I was copy pasting a single image on to other images and I always have to correct the color so that it matches the original. I have been using curves adjustment layer to make sure the color matches, by alt clicking the auto button then choosing " Find Dark & Light Colors ". But these past 2 days, using this options creates a sepia tinge on the pasted image, I had to use " enhance monochromatic contrast " for it to not happen.

    But the thing is, on some images, the pasted image does not have this sepia tinge despite using " Find Dark & Light Colors " its really bugging me out cause I can't figure out why it suddenly happened.

    Apply multiple colors to Text/characters using a swatches or palette

    I had an idea that I thought would be pretty easy to do but so far I have been stumped. After a couple hours of youtube and googling I arrived here from another post. What I was trying to do was apply a group of colors to text and have it alternate each letter with a color. Is that possible?
    I see color overlay and gradient but that would just do one color or a gradient of the entire text layer vs coloring each letter. I really don't have much experience in scripts and a little experience in recording actions. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Need assistance on resizing without losing quality.

    I’m finally going to start printing off some of my photos that I’ve taken over the years but the shop I was going to upload my photos to to print requires them to be at largest 40 MB.

    My image is currently at 60 MB and it is also to the correct size for the print (20x30)

    How do I adjust the file size without jeopardizing quality?

    My General AI initial thoughts

    Old school, now coming back… to get a new sky or expand the borders seems ok … even coming from a purist darkroom guy I get weird shit for a sky refill though… added 5 floors to the building not in the selection, back to selecting.. mask.. use my own sky library… But the get a lil bit expanded image in that part you didnt get but from YOUR image.. cool. It ain’t working for me yet though. Their examples work far better than my trials. I feel it’s a setup as as they work out the bugs then they will charge you extra after X usages to use someone else’s image? Not AI for pros, just a gimmick apple app. I have a few skies that are unique… i don’t think there is real AI until it pulls from my original image or library.. not from the vastness of the web. So Im not really sold on the hype.. it’s not really there. No offense.. i dont want your sky’s in my shot lol. But again… trying to expand my image… which AI of MY image.. cool. Not there yet.

    Disclaimer, i still have my floppies of pshop.. paid 700 in the late nineties, we started with pirated copies (supported by adobe) to get the program (now called apps) to the mainstream. Whole ‘nother post. AI is a buzzword. Hell “feather” and “add noise” was at one point. It’s cool to see my fingers hit the right shortcuts from muscle memory though. #AI#WTFisflair#oldschool#imback

    Photoshop help - for a friend's loved one

    One of my best friend's mother just passed away. I have a photo from the 90's of him with her, that has discolored with time, (yellowing, shadows extending past their range.)

    How can I find someone to remaster the image?

    Which websites, media, etc., would you recommend that I go to, to make the photo my friend looks at, look like the woman he remembers?

    Thank you in advance!
