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.

Removing Fence From Photos
I took these pictures at a race a couple months back, and I want to try to remove the fence from them so the view of the car is unobstructed. What would be best practice for doing this?
Edit: Images didn't attach properly the first time

Stupid question probably, why is the "Night" outer glow under the "at" graphic? The "Night" layer is above the "at" layer.

Help turning this design into a solid color stencil!!!
Hi all! I couldn't find anything useful on Google or Youtube so I'm turning to the Reddit Photoshop experts.
I'm trying to make a stencil of this design to print it off and use it on a project I'm working on, but because of all of the leather texture noise and worn-down nature of the book cover, I'm having a hard time getting it as accurate as it needs to be without losing some of the design.
I just need the gold on its own, but because of the range of hues, It's been very difficult. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make this process easier?

How Can I Turn a Picture into a Pencil Sketch Effect?
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for an easy way to transform a photo into a pencil sketch effect. I have access to Photopea and other free tools, but I'm open to suggestions for any software (free or paid) that can achieve a high-quality sketch effect.
Specifically, I’d love to:
- Retain the details of the original photo.
- Achieve a realistic hand-drawn pencil look.
- Optionally customize the sketch intensity (e.g., lighter or darker strokes).
If anyone knows a good tool, tutorial, or method to create this effect, I'd greatly appreciate your advice!

Every year me & my friends have an annual 24-hour long movie marathon. Each of us pick 2-3 movies, and I create a poster combining assets & screenshots from all of them. This year's pick of 17 movies resulted in this monstrosity.

Adding Depth and Richness To A JPEG File
Hi everyone. I was visiting Salt Lake City last week and when I was flying my drone I made the mistake of forgetting to set it to shoot in RAW. Now I'm stuck with flat JPEG images. How can I give this photo some depth and richness? I would like to make the mountains stand out more as well as the black shiny building near the mountains but in general I would love to hear any recommendations for enhancing this photo. Thank you!

Problem with gradient maps on RAW images
Hello!
I have this problem that when I first add a gradient map to an image it looks good and how I want it, but when I zoom in, merge layers or save it as a file the colors get much weak, poor and ugly (images attached)
It's been happening for almost 2 years I don't remember having this problem before, I figured out that the problem it's the image noise and I always try to reduce it or add a smooth filter but it just makes the image look different and looses detail/texture.
So if anyone that had/has this problem could help me and tell me what would be the best solution to this I'll be very grateful.
Thank you!

Is there any shortcut to reset the shortcuts to their default settings? Sometimes I configure shortcuts in Photoshop, and then they get deactivated and everything goes back to default. Maybe I'm pressing a shortcut that causes this. Does anyone know?

Liquify similar to clip studio paint in photoshop?
I primarily use photoshop for making textures for 3d modeling, and I use clip studio for traditinal illustration. Clip studios liquify function is treated as a brush where as I draw or import photos I can nudge them around in the context of the whole picture, it also works with mutiple layers selected and is not a filter. It is a massive part of my workflow.
In comparison photoshops liquify tool just feels disgusting to use, as it only works on one layer, pulls it into new window, and brings up tons of useless menus. While I understand the value of non destructive editing. I just want to be able to nudge my photos and drawings around while I work without dealing with the liquify filter and was wondering if there is any way to do that.

How to create this shadow, or depth of field on a layer mask
I'm creating a background in Photoshop and would like to create a shadow whose edge has depth of field. Basically the shadow that an open door would create. What would be a good way to create this? I've attached an image as an example. The edge on the right side is much less blurry, and as it travels left it becomes much more diffuse. Can this be done with a mask edge or another way?
