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.

    Film grain with transparent background

    Anyone know of a way I can make a film grain effect with a transparent background? I can only find how to do it with a solid background I.e using blending mode overlay or using filters. Both don’t work with a transparent background. Can anyone help?

    Logo recreation from photo

    Alright. So to start I have a bit of experience with photoshop/illustrator but nothing vast and it’s been 5+ years. I have a photo of a business card from my grandfathers company from the 80’s. That’s the only thing that has the company logo on it, I want to recreate the logo and get it put on a few hats for him and some family. Is this something I can feasible do myself? If yes what would be the best way to do it? Thank you in advance!

    Gif Making: can I spot heal one spot and have it apply to all layers while making a gif?

    Hiya! I'm new to PS and gif making, but have managed to make a few gifs and have a general understanding.

    So, the video clip I'm using has text in it--the opening credits of a show, a name that pops up. Wondering if I can spot heal (or maybe another tool I don't know about) that text spot to get rid of it, and then have that apply to all layers of the gif, while still keeping it a moving gif? Is this possible, or do I need to go in and edit/spot heal each individual layer?

    Thanks in advance!

    Is there any way to repair a psp file? I lost all my brushes...

    So i just had a computer crash and lost all my personal custom brushes thanks to it, loading up photoshop just gave me a full blank page, no brushes.

    I checked the photoshop settings folder and saw that brushes.psp file was 800mb so there might be some hope but i like a dumbass opened photoshop and appended default brushes thinking it'd fix the problem after a restart but instead it just deleted all 800mb of brushes and overwrote it to the default 10mb brushes.

    I thankfully copied the 800mb brushes.psp file before and have it sitting on my disk, is there any way to repair it?

    I have a system restore point set but it doesn't backup photoshop settings, i've tried some file recovery softwares and apparently they don't work too well with SSD's and overwritten files.

    At this point repairing the psp file is the only option but searching online for such a thing brought up no results so i don't have much hope just have to start over.

    Removing the top and bottom x pixels from an image

    I have a bunch of images that are a bit too tall, but in order for them to look correct I need to chop the top 25 and bottom 25 pixels off each one. I've been doing it manually but it takes just about forever, so I was wondering if there was a way to more quickly do this with PS or some other tool.

    Why can't I use the brush tool in 'select and mask'

    Hello all. It seems like there isn't a way. Which just seems really weird. Like I would simply still use my soft brush while pressing x to switch pallets, like I was doing in my regular workspace

    How can I easily but realistically overlay an object onto another picture?

    Ideally I'd like as simple a way as possible to overlay an object on another picture but in a realistic way.

    Any programs other than Photoshop that can do this and if not what's the best way?

    Essentially I want to add some greetings cards to a mantelpiece and make it look like they're actually there alongside other cards.

    Gradient map affects all layers not just text (clipping removes effect)

    Im an absolute beginner so I'm not sure how I can fix this. My background is solid white. I created a text and added a gradient map but it then changed everything else as well. I tried clipping the map to the text but then the effects of the map went away. I want to be able to move this changed text (with the map effects) to adobe illustrator so I can use it if that makes sense?

    I appreciate any help I can get <3 (I also read that the beginning or end of the gradient must be white or black but that completely changes the map of course)

    without clipping

    with clipping
