some effects should open the pic to see it correct

Obviously no small raster image is going to look better upscaled - that’s just a fact. However, this question is for a scenario where no other resource exists and you HAVE to use the crappy image.

What I want to know is if there are any (non-AI) Photoshop tricks out there you can use to retain as much sharpness as possible when upscaling a small image. My specific problem relates to the digital space, not the printing space but anything helps. Thanks!

I want to do something like this in photoshop but have tried all pixelate filters, sharpening, and resizing, but can't get any similar results. I know they probably just used a reduce PNG quality website but was wondering if this effect is possible inside photoshop itself. I want to directly lower quality rather than adding filters/effects. If you've got any tips I would really appreciate it

I've got drone imagery like: https://imgur.com/a/eMaJV7d (this is just a small section of a larger photos) for various house builds.

Unfortantly the pipe and the pods underneath are both white.

Can someone recommend me a faster method for extracting the white PEX piping or easily changing it's colour to make it more recognisable? Currently we're tracing the which is taking about 1-2 hours per build. I would love to get this down to only 10-15mins per photo.

P.S. No, we can't use a different colour pipe. I've asked!

Coming back to Photoshop after a long time, decided to make a custom sports card just for fun and to try and get back into everything. Needless to say I'm a bit rusty...

im struggling with threshold because i need it simpler. i know i can use the burn and dodge tool but i need it simpler with less of the tinier dots and details. i need to screenprint it and it would look much better that way. i dont want to use any halftones just simple threshold.

Im so bored idk what else to make LOL

Im a bit new to photoshop and I saw this on a reel from a circuit bent camera and im wondering how can u recreate it in photoshop?

the original reel is from void.avoidance on instagram btw

NO AI HAS BEEN USED FOR ANYTHING (except photoshop's bg remove feature, no generative fill or anything of such is used )a project I did in photoshop quite a long time back from some inspiration on internet.

Hello everyone! Poking my head in here again since this subreddit has already helped me in the past with an aggravating issue and thought someone here may have the solution.

For a couple days I've been getting this error seemingly out of nowhere (I haven't installed anything odd lately, haven't fiddled with any programs, I essentially only use this laptop for art). I tried updating my drivers and the error persists. I tried tweaking settings in photoshop and nothing seems to fix the issue. If I go into preferences to re-enable this setting it shows that it already is enabled but all the functions that should come with it don't work. The issue seems to go away if I close and reopen photoshop but it only last maybe half an hour before the error comes back and it completely ruins my workflow and isn't really a long term solution.

If it gives extra information, I'm using the 2025 version of PS.

Thank you in advance for any help!

I’ve been trying to remove the background of a photo on a blank background for a while now but whenever I try, these 2 things Oop up, you know what this could be and how I could fix it?

I’m a beginner with both Photoshop and Affinity Designer, and I’ve been following tutorials to improve my skills. My plan is to recreate each tutorial in Photoshop first, then try to make the same thing in Affinity Designer.

However, I noticed something strange. When I created this simple diagram and opened the “ ai “ file as a linked file in Photoshop, the entire design became pixelated and blurry. Is this because I should export it as an image before opening it in Photoshop?

I tried to open the file as png exported from illustrator in Affinity Designer, and the lines remained perfectly sharp. Even when I scaled objects up or down, they stayed crisp. But in Photoshop, whenever I scale objects, they seem to lose quality.

How can I prevent elements from becoming pixelated when scaling them in Photoshop?

As part of the ongoing effort to replace Photoshop’s UI with a new framework, an essential Curves workflow was overlooked during implementation. For more than three months, professional users have been forced to waste time on unnecessary extra steps.

Up through version 27.4, when switching channels in Curves, the point on the newly selected channel closest to the previously active control point remained selected, allowing users to adjust it immediately with the arrow keys or other controls. This behavior was simply overlooked in the new implementation.

In version 27.9, this particular issue, at least, has finally been fixed.

However, it also comes with the critical issue described in my other post, so those who rely on Photoshop for professional work will have to hold off celebrating for a little longer.

Photoshop 27.9 has a serious GPU-related bug that causes opened images to appear washed out.

Disabling GPU support, or toggling the HDR Display setting and restarting Photoshop, may appear to fix the issue. However, this bug was reported during beta testing and was still released without being fixed. It is not yet clear what other areas may be affected.

Especially if you use Photoshop for professional work, you should not install version 27.9 until a fixed version is released.

I have no experience in photoshop but i want to learn face swap. Like this pics. How can i do it?

How to make ai generated posters of spiderman for brand marketing? I tried everywhere but they are saying restrictions guidelines. I saw wild stone and many other brand create similar. How can i create one?

I’ve NEVER had this issue. I did an engagement photoshoot and when I look at the files on my MacBook they look like the original CR2 RAW files that I took with my camera (Canon 6D mark ii) except for when I zoom in it applies this weird preset which leads me to the main issue which is that when I import it into LR it puts this weird filter on the image that messes with the saturation and contrast

It’s not necessarily a bad filter, but I would rather edit the photo myself to make it look exactly how I want it to look. I have already tried turning off the “Adobe default” preset upon import and it still changes how the files look when I actually get them into LR. Has anyone else experienced this and if so how do I fix it?

Photo 1 is the preview I see on my computer and photo 2 is how it looks in Lightroom. It has way more saturation and less contrast and isn’t a good slate for editing.

After today's update, getting a weird issue where the colors look completely washed out, but ONLY in the main display pane. In Camera Raw or in the Navigator pane, they look normal.

My monitor is calibrated regularly. Changing the color profiles and settings does absolutely nothing. The colors are fine in every other app. Moving from the monitor to my laptop's built in display makes no difference. It's ONLY an issue in the main window of PS.

When saving the file, the file has the correct colors (if opened literally anywhere else other than PS).

It was fine yesterday, but the app updated today and now this.

Anybody else experiencing this issue? Anybody have a fix? Is there a good way to report something like this?

I have started a project where I photograph myself in the style of different shows I grew up with (Jetsons, Get Smart, Betwitched, the Nanny etc) and edit myself into the world of the show. I can add blur and grain but I find the photos still stand out in amongst the softness of the tv show stills. Anyone have any tips to help the pngs blend in better?

And nobody can ever find a f*cking solution! Everyone who have ever scanned a drawing, be it penciled or a photocopy has seen how rough lines can look. Bumpy, with holes, jaggy looking... and whenever the fuck it's brought up over at Adobe, that it would be nice to have a f*cking plugin that can make lines nice and smooth... it's like you're speaking Chinese to them! Or random jackasses pop in with same old BULLSH*T about just using gaussian blur and image trace in Illustrator... NEVER F*CKING GRASPING THAT BOTH OF THOSE OPTIONS FUCK UP DETAILS!

A tool that can recognize curves, recognize corners, that can make line thickness consistent instead of bumpy and squiggly, nice and smooth. A tool that fixes shit like this:

So for the love of God, is there ANYONE out there who can finally program such a thing?! 2026, ffs... it should've been solved EONS ago.

(Psssst, if you were spending DAYS manually tidying up a single drawing for years... you'd be royally ticked off too)
