All Activity

Yes

am I doomed with this laptop? my desktop died recently so this was my emergency backup that I had lying around.

I'd say you might have to make sure you don't have ANY other programs open (particularly Photoshop) while using Bridge. And restart pretty frequently.

This can't be right, surely? Can you check again? These are really feeble specs for modern Adobe, I'm afraid.

just to note, I can click on all the other options under the Edit tab and I can see the Keyboard Shortcuts, Color Settings, and Camera Raw Preferences. I just can't get the Preferences options to pop up.

I have a PC laptop running windows 10 and Photoshop 2025. It is over 3 years old, and has 20GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 136GB free out of 237GB, and it runs a 128 MB graphics card. The last time I shut down was just before posting this thread. I run a cleanup program about once a month.

Worked like a charm, exactly what I needed. Thank you!!!

Hi @Farah, can you do this for me? https://www.damiensymonds.net/thread1.html

Try this, but no promises. https://www.damiensymonds.net/act_cellulite.html

Hi Damien, I'm trying to get rid of the chicken skin on her arms. I tried different things, but nothing has worked so far. How would you recommend I go about this? Thank you!

Right. And did you do this? On the Move Tool, I mean.

No, it seems to be once I undo all crop and flattening to get back to the layers that I see those blue lines.

No, I mean on the flattened version. You DEFINITELY have to turn off the stupid "Auto Select Layer" checkbox in the options bar.

Ya, it seems so.

Do they stay there even when you zoom in and out?

Whenever I crop once I've flattened the layer and cropped (I flattened first and then cropped), I can't get rid of the blue lines. It's very irritating.

Mine just arrived. Thanks!

I’ve been using my mouse for all my editing and it’s getting more difficult. Do you recommend using a pad for editing pictures?

This is a 4th defective panel. I would return it and choose a different Make/Model. Monitors that are too blue, will make things look too cool, which then makes you overcompensate warming things up. Don’t live with this problem. Find another IPS Display.

Hi everyone, I recently got an ASUS ROG Swift OLED PG32UCDP and I’ve noticed a slight blue tint on the left side of the screen. It’s most visible with white or light grey backgrounds (e.g. web pages or documents), and much less obvious (or invisible) during gaming or video playback. A few relevant details: This is my fourth unit, previous ones had worse uniformity issues or even slight curvature. This one seems the best so far, except for this subtle tint. I found this article by Damien Symonds about how to perform a “simple screen uniformity check,” which is part of why I’m posting here. (https://www.damiensymonds.net/simple-screen-uniformity-check/) damiensymonds.net So I’m curious: Have others experienced a similar blue tint on one side of their WOLED displays? Do you think this is within normal panel tolerance for WOLED, or more likely a weaker/damaged unit? How harsh would you be in returning it versus accepting it as “good enough” if it's the best among multiple units? Thanks in advance for any insights or experiences you’re willing to share!

No. It looks exactly how I'd expect a still from a video to look.

Final professional opinion though? Doesn’t something look off in top photo?

Nah stay out of it 😂

I'd be fascinated to know why you suspected image fiddling here.
