Hi Brian, Not sure if you saw this yet or not. I think my only choice here is to upgrade to Sequoia as I do not want to go to the latest Tahoe .. I do see PS 25.12 is compatible as per the Adobe compatibility list .. unless you see a major concern, I need to get upgraded so that I can use Final Cut Pro on a project. Sandy

Hi Brian, I hope it's okay to reply to an older thread, if not, I can create a new one. It's essentially the same type of issue. As noted above, I upgraded based on your advice and am on Sonoma 14.7.6 w/out any issues, however, when I downloaded Final Cut Pro a few months back, I went with the Trail version to see if I liked it. Now I want to buy Final Cut Pro but it says I cannot download unless I'm on Mac Version 15.6 or later. I have Creative Cloud subscription and generally use PS 2023/2024 (not against using later versions), I use PixNub/SPA, LR Classic, Photomechanic, Evoto and a few others native to my Mac). In order to download Final Cut, looks like I have to upgrade my OS as I have not purchased it before and I cannot get to a prior version of FCP. I don't really want to go to the latest and greatest OS (e.g. Tahoe) due to bugs. I recall you said there was an issue with Sequoia and PS. Do you know if those issues are resolved if I must upgrade to Sequoia? Thank you and sorry to bother you again on the same type of issue .. I should have just bought FCP and then I could have stayed with an older version from what I have read on other forums. Sandy

I installed it on my laptop and it's fine, the option to register comes up, but the other message for my desktop keeps coming up so i cant even create an account on it

Hoping you might shed some light on a little mystery I have, this may be too confusing to follow (I am trying to work out what may have happened or if I have a faulty card). I won't be concerned if you say "odd, who knows": Nikon camera - Duel cards 128GB - second card slot set to back up Thought I'd reformatted both prior to session - but afterwards I realised that card in slot 2 had not been reformatted and had 2 other older sessions still on it (about 64GB full) A few shots from end of shoot card said full so I took both out and replaced with one card and took final shots but thought it very strange they would be full Copied over shots to HD (about 64GB) and have been editing Then last night I went to format both cards for a new shoot and put in camera and *they did not now register as full* I thought that was odd so I looked an realised one card had the 2 older shoots on and not the latest, other card had latest shoot and was about half full. So it sort of appears that the second card didn't operate as a back up or hit capacity as the back up, as it was already half full, and then the current shoot was deleted. Is the later possible? Or could the card have thrown an error? I checked the settings and second card was definitely set to back up. Tested with a new photo that it was writing to both cards. I wondered if I'd 'cut' the shoot off the card when copying to HD but I don't think I used that SD card - I usually drag them to a folder. Probably just an anomaly and I'll never really know but concerns me a little if the card if faulty. Maybe it's a user error, probably won't know what happened for sure and I'll keep a closer eye on this to see if similar happens again. I don't like when things happen that I can't explain, hope you understand that (haha). I have all the photos so that's the main thing, thanks for considering this. Tahli

I know lots of people do. I've never used it.

Tried getting help from Calibrite and they just stopped responding to me I might try displaycal because this calibrite crap its not useable, i dont see any way this will ever work, would you recommend displaycal?

Nah doesn't work I'm in contact with Calibrite and they are helping me out atm, but thanks

This was written for Spyder, but might be relevant to X-Rite and Calibrite as well? https://www.damiensymonds.net/2013/10/how-to-properly-re-install-spyder.html

No never, but there is an old xrite folder i cannot delete, from the older software for the older calibrator i1 display studio It is xrite/devices then whats in the screenshot

Has there ever been a second monitor? It seems like your system is confused on this point.

Just one moniter

Gee, I've never seen this before. Just to clarify, how many screens do you have?

This is what i get every time and nothing works, ive tried with version 2 and the newer one, neither will launch don't know what to do I'm on windows 11, and i just bought a new display pro HL

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.
