    Is there a way of adjusting the traction of the cursor on the layer?

    I'm not very good at writing notes so I use photoshop to edit the original papers I read for my studies. It actually works really well, but my one problem is this: I use the pen selection tool alot cut out selections of text. It would replace a highlighter perfectly, were it not for the fact...

    Hey, it's my first post and probably as basic as it gets. Still have problems finding a solution through google. In my template the layer one is just a rectangle, no background. I'd like to fill everything inside the rectangle in the layer white and everything outside black. Surprisingly having...

    Transparency/visibility question...

    Ok, so.. Here is what I am wondering. I want to create an animation of sorts. This means creating individual smaller frames, then patching them into a larger image. Not sure how many frames yet though. But, the main problem is making them. I plan to have it like this: Top Layer - Runes Second...

    Lightroom user transferring to Photoshop

    Hi PS community, I've been using LR for my entire automotive photographing career so far. Always thought that LR was the go to editing program because it was just easier but after seeing another pro photographer's results from using PS only, I was absolutely mindblown. He advised me to switch...

    How to use a layer mask on multiple layers

    I have an image, to which I have applied several adjustment layers, but there is an area of the image I want to exclude from these layers. I know how to edit the layer mask for each adjustment layer, but is there an easy way to apply the same mask to all the adjustment layers? Using Photoshop...

    Cumulative distortion and softening in successive rotations

    I created a spinner animated gif image. Though, that's not really the issue. The way I did it was by duplicating the first layer and applying a 10° rotation. And again, and again, and again... 36x. My issue (if you haven't noticed), the first frame is very smooth and rounded. However, as I...

    Whats smart object?

    When I've selected an area to transform in some way, sometimes I get a message that I can't do it because it's a smart object. I also notice in my layer that there's a little black and white icon in the corner of my thumbnail on the layer. How do I get past this? Thanks!

    New X-rite i1Display Pro Monitor calibrator.

    Now that I have my new calibrator, I want to see if it has helped. Since this image was the first to bring to my attention that my monitor needed some help, I thought I would stick with it to maintain consistency. Original This my latest change to the image after my calibration. Curves...

    Removing highlights in a layer mask

    I have a photo I'm converting from night to day that was taken in some woodland. While I'm fine with adjusting the curves and temperature for the whole image, there are still a few places where the sunlight has broken through the canopy and I would like to remove them with a layer mask but I...

    Lame questions about layers

    Forgive the lame question but here it goes. Say I have a group, say for frequency separation, and I want to make a copy from background to do some spot healing, nothing shows up on that layer. Meaning my spot healing isn't showing up. If I try to move the layer order everything goes weird. The...

    Adjustment layers to affect other adjustment layers?

    I've got perhaps a bit of an odd one. I've got a picture where I've got two figures in the foreground, one of which is a copy of the other flipped horizontally. I've then got 2 gradient adjustment layers changing the colour of the background and the clothes, using a layer mask to ensure that...

    Brushes are "sheer" ?

    Hello, I need help with something that seems simple but I can't figure out for the life of me. I want my brushes to have a white solid background so I can layer them in designs. They don't. When I put a brush over another one, you can see through the top brush and onto the bottom one. It looks...

    Photoshop automatically add new layers when using the rectangle tool

    So I'm new to photoshop and was trying to create simple textures for my 3D model. I opened a new layer under the texture layer (set to multiply) so I can paint it without messing with the texture's shading. That worked for me but when I try to use rectangle again after the first time it...
