Help! iPad Photoshop help (no AI please!)

• Upvotes

I am new to Photoshop and new to the Photoshop iPad app and I desperately need help and it is impossible to find resources. All Adobe offers are tutorials I do not want a tutorial I just want a reference so I can search for something simple like "crop" or "resample" and just find step-by-step instructions. But apparently all I have access to are tutorials and videos and things that take way too long I'm not gonna go watch a whole one hour video every time I wanna do a little five second task in Photoshop. And AI has ruined the Internet so now you can't even use search engine anymore you can't find information I'm so fed up with AI I just want to scream and throw things and break things. Why is it so hard to find simple information anymore???? 😭😭😭

When I tried to use a search engine to find information, I get AI responding even though I'm not in the AI tab and then the search results if I just scroll down are terrible and unhelpful and not related to what I'm looking for and suspiciously they seem to only be related to the thing that AI misunderstood that I'm searching for just from glancing at the AI text without responding to it, so AI has just completely ruined search. And of course AI isn't helpful because it just relies on training data it gives me stale information that's years old or it gives me information for the wrong platform like Photoshop on a computer instead of the iPad app it it user interface it gets the steps wrong it gets information wrong AI GETS LITERALLY EVERYTHING WRONG ALL THE TIME

Help! PSB Motion adding more images

0 Upvotes

So I'm currently making a stop motion film on the 'Motion' function in Photoshop.

I've made a good start happy with how it's looking, but need to add more frames (about another 300ish images).

Everytime I try to add images to my existing PSB document, it opens a new PSB project.

I've then tried to copy and paste the two projects together but I can't seem to successfully add the new PSB images to my Original PSB project.

This is the first time I've used Motion I'm Photoshop and I've tried to Google but can't seem to find any tips/ advice with the issue I'm facing.

If any know knows what I might b doing wrong, please let me know.

Or if you have any useful links that I can read/ watch - that would be greatly appreciated.

Happy to explain more in the comments if need be.

Help! Is there a multiple views feature?

0 Upvotes

Hi! I know some other raster programs, as well as Blender, for example, have it, but do you know if there's a why Photoshop also has the feature for which I can open a secondary art board to see the same drawing from different places (like up close vs whole w/o having to zoom in and out every time)?

Help! Mimicking old IOS wallpaper extend

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

Context, I have never tried anything in graphic design before.
With my old iOS 17, wallpapers added a solid blur to the top of the images with the wallpaper extend I never minded. Now that I’m on iOS 26 I hate the way the blue takes over half of the image or even tries to extend it with AI. What I want to ask is how I can replicate the old way of extending images with any photo editing tools, or if tutorials out there exist for me to do so. Thanks!

Attached: the before and after (from iOS 17 to 26) and a horribly poor example of the ai extend making her wings look ridiculous!

Artwork / Design "Phalène étourdi" (Dazed moth)

4 Upvotes

Hi! Here’s my first project combining 3D (in Blender) and graphic design (in Photoshop)! How could I improve it?

About the piece: I see it a bit as an auto portrait, where the moth tries searching for sense in a world which seems to lack it. I love pieces packed with plenty of references to decipher and I really hope you'll enjoy it !

Thanks in advance :)

Discussion What’s the One Plugin You’d Recommend to Every Graphic Designer?

1 Upvotes

I've been using Photoshop for about 5 years, and surprisingly, I've never really used any plugins. I'm curious to know what plugins professional graphic designers actually use in their day-to-day workflow. Is there any plugin that genuinely makes your work easier, faster, or better? Or are plugins just nice to have?

I'd love to hear your go-to plugins and why you use them. Bonus points if you share a plugin you wish you'd discovered earlier!

Hi! I’m brand new to photoshop and my first big assignment is creating a desktop wallpaper, I found some inspiration that I want to emulate but no tutorials that I’ve found show me how to make an ASCII effect only in photoshop - they keep telling me to use a generator.

I need to find a tutorial to follow along to and have the link in my final assignment so my prof can double check that I’ve done everything correctly. HELP!

Help! Using Generative Expand to cropped image - what am O doing wrong?

0 Upvotes

I have a picture of a chair where the chair needed to be rotated level.

After I did this using the Crop tool, the image has gaps which need filling - Pic 1.

All the instructions I've found to fill the blank areas using Generative Fill first call for 'dragging the canvas to expand'. So I thought I'd done this correctly but get the result in Pic 2.

What am I doing wrong?

Help! Using gesture controls to rotate canvas not working on iPad?

1 Upvotes

I'm used to working with Procreate, where you can practically spin that thing with two fingers. But I'm trying to turn my canvas on Photoshop with two twisting fingers, and all it does is register it as a zoom in/out, or just moves my canvas around on the screen.

Am I missing something here? Misunderstanding?

Help! Photoshop 27.11 missing WEBP file format is "Save as Copy"

0 Upvotes

More of an FYI for people and a good post for Google to crawl.

I updated to Photoshop 27.11 on Mac M1 Max. There is a bug where you cannot save an 8-bit RGB file as WEBP. You need to rollback to Photoshop 27.10 to get access to Save as Copy's WEBP format. Will update when Adobe release an update fixing this bug.

OS is MacOS 26.7 Tahoe, M1 Max.

Help! how to properly make the MW2 (2009) in-game dialogue subtitles in Photoshop?

0 Upvotes

I know the font's ITC Conduit, and also that there seems to be some sort of shadow effect to make it easer to distinguish due to contrast, but what puzzles me the most is that there seems to be some sort of subtle but noticeable glow effect on the green part with the name.

How do I properly emulate the subtitles from MW2 in Photoshop? Is there more stuff I should know?

Hey Reddit. I am currently experiencing this frustrating work-stopping bug, where Photoshop 2024 and 2025 editions will not allow me to save a blank document. (see picture). The saving window appears blank.

Ive tried restarting pc, and it keeps happening. Any work arounds would be most helpful, as its driving me batty and wasting me morning.
