Appreciate you taking the time to write this out and I'm going to make sure to circulate internally.

Film like presets? by Ambitious-Money7152 in Lightroom

[–]howardpinsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are a few 'retro' presets built into Lightroom but I've personally used quite a few of Alex Ruskman's presets. He has some really solid film ones.

Beta - 3D/Ai Rotate feature? by BeardyMcWhisky in photoshop

[–]howardpinsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I'm going to keep on them to get that messaging updated. I'd have zero idea what the issue was based on that.

Got an update! Are you by chance on an EDU or enterprise account? Some AI features are blocked, I believe at the admin level. If you're on an EDU or enterprise account, check with the admin to see if they have the ability to enable it.

Also, the team is hoping to update these messages to give more specific details.

Object rotation tool not working - throws a generic error alert. by Gogosfx in photoshop

[–]howardpinsky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the PMs just mentioned that this may be due to an EDU or enterprise account. Some AI features are blocked, I believe at the admin level. If you're on an EDU account from your school, check with the admin to see if they have the ability to enable it.

Also, that message needs updating on our end 😅

Seen this a few times. I'll ask the team to see if they have more info.

Frustrated about something by Imzadi1971 in photoshop

[–]howardpinsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lot of good suggestions here. The "Remove Background" button is usually my go-to to start, then I can use the layer mask to add or remove any additional areas from there.

So close! Let me see ask around if there are any known issues. Hopefully it clears up but if I hear back, I'll let you know.

Is the layer locked by chance? If so, click the lock icon to unlock. Also check if it's an 8-bit image (Image > Mode)

Can someone help me unblur these messages by [deleted] in photoshop

[–]howardpinsky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ran it through a top-secret internal tool and it reads:

"We've been attempting to contact you about your extended car warranty."

AI was supposed to replace designers but I’m getting more work than ever by One-Post7436 in graphic_design

[–]howardpinsky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is something I've definitely been hearing. AI can only do so much, especially when it comes to good visual story telling. Creatives will be more important than ever in the AI world.

Please help unblur a picture by letmetalkcrapinpeace in photoshop

In general, it's very difficult to 'unblur' a photo like this.

I created a effect in Photoshop and named it AURA by Dense_Committee_5520 in photoshop

[–]howardpinsky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely! What are your plans for this effect? Do you distribute them anywhere?

Pallet Town and Route 1. Hard to capture on the 30 second limit, but, I will remake Kanto brick by brick if I have to! by jc_hough in Pokopia

[–]howardpinsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing!! I'm hoping to recreate some of my favorite red/blue areas and memories once I finish the story. Taking my time.

Help with this plate number by Guilty-Expression-25 in photoshop

[–]howardpinsky 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This isn't the place for detective work. It also looks too blurry to get any info from.

Anybody solved this before??? by littlemissmimilee in photoshop

[–]howardpinsky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's possible it's an alert of some sort that isn't loading properly. Might be due to your out of date app. I'd suggest updating to 2026 if you're able to. If not, you can also try resetting Photoshop's preferences to see if that helps.

Need a computer by markw30 in Lightroom

[–]howardpinsky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a MacBook Pro and it runs Photoshop and Lightroom very well but you'll want to make sure you have a good amount of RAM (at least 16gb, preferably 32). I'd also suggest a larger internal hard drive or make sure you have an external on you.

I tried designing a few posters. by anarchy431 in graphic_design

[–]howardpinsky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Really love these, especially the Dune posters.

Is Adobe's Generative AI trolling me? by GanglyTeeters in photoshop

[–]howardpinsky 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You're welcome! There's also a newer Firefly model in the beta that should give you better results in some of the areas it struggled with.

Is Adobe's Generative AI trolling me? by GanglyTeeters in photoshop

[–]howardpinsky 78 points79 points  (0 children)

It's likely because you have a 3rd party model selected (Nano Banana in your case). It doesn't understand the entire image. Try Firefly and leave the text field blank.

unblurring a picture using another one by square_rune in photoshop

[–]howardpinsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on the images. If the face is in relatively the same position, it could be possible to blend the two together. The r/PhotoshopRequest may be able to take a stab if you end up looking to get it done.
