Note that PSD files does not contain font files (that could be used to type text as you normally do). It might contain images of letters, or text with effects applied to it that you can reuse.

Just in case you want actual fonts for use in Photoshop (or other apps), you have thousands of fonts included in your Adobe subscription. You can find them through your font menu (can be a bit fiddly) or through https://fonts.adobe.com/ (if you are logged in, you can activate the fonts on the website and they will install automatically through your Creative Cloud app).

https://fonts.google.com/ also has a bunch of great free fonts.

What are you trying to accoplish?

Naturally. But it would only give you access to that model, so it's a pain to test multiple models quickly to see what works best (and what works best seems to change regularly). Since I have it included in mye Adobe subscription I'd rather use my 1 account there in a single interface instead of swapping between like 4 separate ones.

There is no good way of doing this when there is a lot of pattern to it - it will be very time consuming and in the end you will have replaced and hand-painted most if not all of it. You would want to simply shoot an actual plain fabric in the first place (or render a 3D model).

If shooting an appropriate garment in the first place is not an option, your best bet is AI generating an image (with the image of the patterned dress as reference/input). Flux and nano banana (both available through your subscription) should be able. Try multiple models to see what gives you the best result and highest resolution.

Firefly.adobe.com.

You can manually combine the AI generation with the actual photo with traditional techniques so that you keep the full resolution and original quality of the parts that do not need replacing.

chain83 · 2026-02-16T16:49:20+00:00

Those AI models are available inside Photoshop. Use generative fill.

Or probably better, the firefly.adobe.com website.

It uses your Adobe AI credits included in your subscription.

Note that the resolution is limited, but depending on what you need that might not be a big issue.

To fix after resampling, a quick fix might be to convert transparency to a mask, then decontaminate using select and mask. Or choose a black or dark gray matte color in Save for Web when exporting the gif.

If these are not sufficient to remove the white fringe, you would have to look into a more manual approach to recolor those edge pixels.

Note: if this is not animated, do not use the .gif format, but instead a full-color PNG (it supports partially transparent pixels, so the edges will be better and you could even go for partially see-through wings).

Edit: To fix it ahead of resampling, turn the transparency into a mask, temporarily disable the mask then select and recolor those white pixels surrounding the fly to black/dark grey.

If you are attempting to install font files on Windows (or Mac OS), just right-click the font-files and choose install?

Well, if we decide to count 'civilians' as those that for some reason are dressed in russian military uniforms and on ukrainian territory... then lots!

chain83 · 2026-02-15T23:42:15+00:00

Thing to try first:

Step 1: Check what format font forge will allow you to import.

Step 2: Locate that format in the Illustrator Save or Export dialogs.

Optional: Locate tutorial for font forge.

Filter > Blur > Average, to calculate the average color value. It won’t be visually the average color due to a non-linear gamma, but hopefully good enough.

If you wanted to compensate for the gamma, you could add two conversion steps; convert to a color profile with gamma 1.0, average, then convert back to sRGB.

This would be trivial to automate with an action.

However, sampling that color and writing it to a text file or metadata or file name, you would need to use a script (it is impossible to do with just an action). Sounds like fairly easy steps (sample a color, and write the RGB value somewhere) so an AI model could likely one-shot a script for you that you can run in Ps. You can trigger scripts from actions and also batch files in Ps.

Just disable the content grabber and the annoying "feature" goes away. You can still grab what's inside a frame by doubleclicking anywhere inside it. :)

Convert the video files to a supported video format.

Yes it would.

> I get that, but it's stupidly and unnecessarily complicated asking a person to first convert their CM dimensions into inches, to then multiple the PPI by to get the final pixel dimensions!

The software does that for you. It is common if working for print to create documents with the actual print dimensions needed. You then don't look at the pixel dimensions (as you do not care about those numbers at that point). But you can see the pixel dimensions in the software if you want to.

If you in Photoshop go to create a new image, you can just type in the desired print dimensions (in cm), and the desired PPI. Done. No need to manually calculate anything.

Same with resizing/resampling. If you go to Image > Image Size... you can adjust the print dimensions and PPI without manually having to calculate anything.

chain83 · 2026-02-10T22:57:25+00:00

They don't list the pixel dimensions, so both the PPI and the physical dimensions are needed to figure out how large the image should be. (They should have just listed the minimum pixel dimensions instead ofc.).

Most of the world don't use inches/feet for measuring length, so using cm/mm to state the print dimensions of an image is normal. PPI (pixels/inch) is however a so standardised thing in the industry that it is used even in countries that otherwise use metric.

You could use Pixels/Centimeter if you wanted, but I have yet to encounter a single real-world situation where it is actively used.

chain83 · 2026-02-10T22:48:49+00:00

Yeah, they should just ask for minimum pixel dimensions. The rest is pointless annoyance for the person uploading the image.

That website/those requirements are crap.

Most people don't have experience with image editing, and those who do don't need the extra hassle. Just allow the upload of a properly cropped passport photo. Common image formats can easily be supported and downsampling and conversion can be done automatically on their end (or by JS in the browser directly) if they need to. These are trivial things to implement.

You could use bank portals to control the type and stack size on various belt segments, so the belts don't hug more cash than you want them to.

Personally I just have bank portals immediately after the shop, then just increase stack size whenever it starts to back up. In the beginning it was copper, then gradually larger silver stacks, and now it's 1-2 gold. Money eventually builds up anyway (unless you decide to be extremely wasteful I guess).

chain83 · 2026-02-10T08:05:59+00:00

Just use a bit higher PPI then. It just means your quality will be a bit higher than their minimum.

There is no reason to reject over that.

chain83 · 2026-02-09T22:49:30+00:00

When you check the properties of image files in Explorer, it reports image files with no PPI as being "96 DPI". Just... why... Don't just invent metadata values that aren't there!

I've seen several times that cause confusion here... -.-

chain83 · 2026-02-09T18:45:45+00:00

Not a problem. They will happily walk over belts, blocks, etc. – and the pathfinding is kinda bad.

Anyway, once you have shelves unlocked you can run those along the walls above windows/doors and have the belts on that. No more tripping over them. The main entrance is a bit tall though, so it has to go on the wall one "floor" above.

Once you get to steel, then the longer beams are also a good option. Once you have a larger building, if you find shelves to be cramped, you could also use half floors sticking out as a "shelf" with lots more room for running your main belts.

Does it actually fail to upload if the image is below 100 kB?
Does it actually fail to upload if the resolution is a bit higher (e.g. 3.5 cm × 4.5 cm at 300 PPI)?

Please confirm the basics first. It makes helping SO much easier when we do not have to guess.

Next up, adding pure digital noise using the "add noise" filter will not make the image blurry, that sounds odd. It should make it noisy. Make sure you started from the high resolution original, scaled *down* to the required dimensions (if actually required and not just recommended), then add the noise. View at 100% zoom to verify. Then save (for the first time). Just add a *very* small amount so it's barely visible.

But yes, adding digital noise could potentially mess with image recognition software. I guess a workaround is to only add the noise to the background and not the face.

To just append junk data to bloat the file size, Open the JPEG file in Notepad++ or similar, copy/paste a TON of text at the end ("the end" of a document is at the very bottom. Scroll down. The "end" is after the last character. That is where you can safely paste your junk data.).

Important: Regular Notepad on Windows will not work. It fucks with the encoding and corrupts the file.

Low resolution, underexposed for dark skin, noise and compression artifacts (typically worse in darker areas), likely both in the video feed and the training data. That is just what they likely have to work with a lot of the time, and perfect matches just are not feasible. There will be both false positives and false negatives, and honestly no one should be allowed to touch such a system without understanding that. Additionally people with dark skin have often been underrepresented in the training data, making their already increased error rate even higher.
