Once I have a few files open, Photoshop starts "stealing" the cursor focus, which is to say if I go to any other application, as soon as I make one click, PS jumps into the foreground and becomes the active application. The click I made in the other app was applied, and I can see it when I go back to that app, but as soon as I click again, Photoshop pops back into focus.
The only workaround I've found is minmizing PS while I use other apps. Or closing it and restarting it. Sometimes just reducing the program window works, and sometimes not.
I have taken some netball sport photographs where the camera's automatic focus failed to lock onto the player. Rather, it locked onto the background spectators on the edge of the court. Consequently, the player is blurred. I have tried "lens blur" filter and "distortion lens correction" and even "spherise" without success.

I tried myself but the photoshop unsharp mask didn't work so well
Is it even possible to focus this using computer programs?
Any way these photos can be saved? Or any advice as to what went wrong. I operate CS3 Extended and Photoshop Elements 5.

I have an image that is great [in my eyes] but in the middle of the image an area of tree foliage shows that is so tightly focused, it distracts. How do I selectively soften, fuzz, blur [likely] or what ever only that portion. I have fought this since Sept and haven't found an answer that feels right.
Does anyone know the technique to apply a soft focus to an image using the actions palette? Some would refer to it as "the move"...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI tried to find a CS6 forum in which I could post but could not find a forum that I was alowed to post inI have taken several photos with multiple focal points and I am trying to merge them in Photoshop CS6 but in every attempt I end up with a single layer that is used while the others indicate no selections at all.
Even when using just 2 images the process only uses the first image and it sets the mask to transparent.Here are the steps I've been following Open each of the images I want to stack.Use the Photomerge tool with Auto, Blend Images Together, and Add Open Files. This successfully creates a new image with multiple layers but areas are being selected.Use Auto Blend Layers, Stack Image with Seamless Tones and Colors checked.The obvious result is no change because only the first layer is being used.
How do I use Photoshop to create a focus-blended image from multiple RAW files and convert the result to B&W using Silver Efex Pro in smart filter mode with *everything* non-destructively edited?
I typically export files from Lightroom to Photoshop as Smart Objects. How can I export multiple files from Lightroom to Photoshop as Smart Objects, focus-blend them in Photoshop, and then convert the resulting focus-blended stack into a B&W image using Silver Efex Pro in smart filter mode?
If this isn't possible, what workflow would give the closest approximation of the flexibility (being able to tweak RAW conversion without a lot of re-work of the later steps) of my desired workflow?
I'm using OSX 10.7.5 on a Core i5 with 16GB RAM, Photoshop CS6, and Silver Efex Pro 2.
I frequently create multiple paths on a single layer with the intention of applying a stroke to each of them at the same time. I typically lay out the paths roughly and then go in with the Direct Select tool to refine them before applying the stroke.
In previous versions, once I'd made the last adjustment I would click off the subpath I'd been editing and then right-click and choose Stroke Path, thereby applying the stroke to each of the paths. (If I don't deselect the last sub-path I was working on, the only option I get on right-click is to stroke that sub-path.)
In CC, once I click in a blank area to deselect the sub-path it also deselects the Layer (removes the highlight from the Layer in the Layer Panel), so most of my right-click options are greyed out. I have to move back over to the Layer Panel and reselect the Layer I want to apply the strokes on.
It's possible that my old approach is bad and I should feel bad, and this added step of having to re-highlight the Layer in the Layer Panel is the bestest thing ever, but I'd kind of like to be able to avoid that additional step. That is, I'm assuming that this is somehow a feature and not a bug.
If there's no way around having to reselect the Layer after deselecting the sub-path (or after clicking on a blank area with the Direct Select tool in general), in the alternative, is there at least a quick way to select all of the sub-paths at once without losing Layer focus?
trying to improve the quality of this picture. I have tried a few ideas suggested on this forum (I have searched) Including Smart Sharpen, Sharpen Mask, and High Pass filter and light linear blending, and a few plugins. None of them have produced results that improve the image.

Photoshop CS6 constantly setting the keyboard focus to the menu bar? This makes it difficult to use shortcuts.
Typical examples: I want to switch to the Move tool, so I press V, but instead, the View menu drops down. Or I press T for the Type tool, but instead, the Filter menu drops down. This happens often and it's very annoying.
This also happens in Premiere Pro CS6, and happens on both my Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 machines. Doesn't happen in other applications, and is not related to actually using a menu, i.e. if I choose something from a menu, then press V, Photoshop will often work correctly and activate the Move tool. This behavior seems to happen randomly.
cs6 doesn't save the focus distance in the exif data (Canon 7D) like cs5, is there a fix for this?

I think he did something with saturation but the dark thing?
I'm editing digi photos about 6mb in size and dragging/copying them into another file (template) which is much smaller. When the photo appers in the new file it's huge. So I use the free transform tool to get the image down to the size and position I want and all is good.
I lose the focus of my subject (close up of Rolex-Omega watch's). Now the original shot is perfect and most of the time I dont have a problem in that the focus remains perfect after reducing the image down. Have I clicked on something that I shouldn't? I cannot work it out, the photo's are all in a batch, the first 4 were perfect and the 5th, just not having it, even after re-taking the picture.
PS 6 focus stacking. Closeups of green moss turn into red on top and bluegreen (or the reverse) on bottom in finished photo. What is happening and what is the fix?

I do the following - Go to Quick Mask(Press 'Q') --> Select Gradient (Press 'G') --> Then I draw a vertical line to define the focus area. Usually a relatively darker red color used to appear as a band. But suddenly I see a very vague red color. And when I exit Quick Mask (Press 'Q') again the marching ants selects the entire picture and not the focus and blur areas.

This is a pain when I am randomly selecting objects. Is there any way for 3DS Max to keep the focus on the object when I click on it rather than going straight to the modifier.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHaving followed various tutorials to the letter, I am finding that, on close inspection, my stacked image appears to have small, random, out of focus blobs. No matter how many shots I use in the stack, the final results are the same. However, if I repeat the procedure, with the same images, the result is the same, but with different areas of softness.
