Howdy! So I’m retouching some photographs for a client and they’ve presented me with a challenge that they should have solved in camera. (I didn’t shoot them) Unfortunately I’m on an NDA so can’t share any images but I’ll describe it best I can.

The photographs are of a person sitting on a couch and mixing a cocktail that’s on the table. On the table as well is a bottle of the product being advertised.

The images were shot at F/5.6 and the person is in focus but the bottle and cocktail are extremely soft. I really don’t see any other solution besides finding images with sharp bottles and cocktails at relatively the same angle and comping them in. I’m pretty sure I know the answer to this but just wanted to make sure, there’s no way to resharpen a soft element of a photograph? I’d say on a 1 to 10 scale, 1 being almost unnoticeably out of focus and 10 being F/1.0 dreamy bokeh the objects are like a 5.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Thanks ahead for your time 🙏🏼

Anyone have any answers? This happened a couple of months ago and I lost all my customization of panels, as well as was very frustrated with the Color and Light panels being separated.

How can i prevent these auto-updates in the future?

This screen pops up when I open the iPad app, and I can’t click on anything. I have cloud storage available on iCloud and Creative Cloud, so I’m not sure why it won’t let me use the app. Is there a special step to connect them? I accessed it through my school, and I just made the account a few days ago. Any tips? This is quite frustrating.

Hi all. Beginner here. I was messing around with Photoshop and tried putting a layer of my girlfriend onto another picture. I added background blur, noise and all, but something just seems off. Maybe it's the sharpness of the foreground, or the perspective of the foreground in relation to the background. I'm not sure. Help

let's say that i have a blank A4 page opened on photoshop and i want to place a separate smaller image, because i want to line multiple images as to be organised. any tips?

Hey, I checked the keyboard shortcuts menu and whenever I try to press the brackets to resize the brush Photoshop mistakes that as me trying to type the number 8 on my keyboard I think??? Whatever it is the resize brush just doesn't work. I've already resettled my preferences and even restarted the computer.

Edit:

I tried changing the keyboard too, but it's the same model as the last keyboard. It still doesn't work

This problem happens globally, on blender, krita, Photoshop, etc. I noticed that whenever I press SHIFT + CTRL together, it just doesn't recognize it.

Hello guys,

I have a smart object to which I have applied styles. I want to rasterize it. However, when I rasterize it, the style gets different, darker on the edges: there is a noticeable difference between the smart object and rasterized version when we zoom fit on screen (https://imgur.com/a/h8EbQ3f). You can see that the white edges on the normal version disappear in the rasterized version.

However... when I compare both when I zoom a lot, there's absolutely no difference. I don't understand why. What I would like is to export an image that looks absolutely like what my smart object looks like when I fit on screen (first pic).

Thank you for your help!

Is there anyone that can help me photoshop an image, I'm trying to get this dude off of my back by photoshopping a photo I have into looking like I am on a date but I can't figure it out. I've tried Ai tools but its being so weird. Thanks!

Could anyone suggest on how to get this text effect?

I’ve tried with several photoshop versions (2022,23,24) but doesn’t want to open raw files

Digital artist here. Just a few weeks ago I was opening a second window>view>Flip Horizontal and it worked... Idk what happened but "Flip Horizontal" is now greyed out and I need to have an additional flipped view whilst working on an artpiece.

Does anyone know what I can do about it or if there's some way around (maybe with the Navigator?)? I can't always use "Flip Image" because it flips the whole thing and I need to see both (mirrored and non-mirrored) at the same time.

Using Photoshop 2020; Didn't make any updates so I'm completely clueless why this is happening.
Already tried resetting the preferences, opening photoshop on another Monitor and ofc restarting everything.

Greetings.

I'm actually working in a personal project in which I need to draw some maps. To explain a bit, I just draw the terrain, and create some areas of different height in different colours as a first mockup of the map. Then diffuminate a bit and add a bit of randomness to make it more "organic" but I'm not an expert. (Less in mountains)

This is just an small part of the map. (Maybe 1%)

The problem comes now that I need to translate the map to grayscale in order to transport sections of the map to another program, in which I will update, improve and create the final map in grayscale in order to transport again to photoshop, where I will merge and translate grayscale to a fixed colour chart to end the map. But the colours I'm using had different levels of gray so in the end, looks something like this:

The mountains become depresions, and the ocean appears to be higher than most of the map.

While I know it would be easy to delimiting again the height zones and just replace colours to make the grayscale, I don't want to ruin the previous work, even if is a mockup. There's a way to make the program use this colour as gray 95%, this one as gray 85%, then calculate with the colours given the grayscale of the map? Any advice to improve? (Brushes, addons, etc..)

Thanks for any help given.
