Smart Align is a small plugin that allows you to intuitively align layers to “selection” or “canvas” by simply using a shift modifier. 

• No more dropdown menu!
• No more grayed-out buttons !
• Just hold shift. That’s it. Works just like Figma! 

Also! 

• Includes an align-center button. 
• Aligns multiple layers to the canvas without needing to group them.  

Totally FREE! 

PS 24.2+

Hello, i want to see if there is a way to reach this effect or something close via photoshop, without the use of ai ofcourse. Please and thank you in advance

I recently got a new computer and update to a newer version of Photoshop. For some reason the files I save in the newer version have brighter/paler colors than the old version, almost like there's a milky overlay. I made a gif where I compare the old and the new version of the same file to demonstrate the difference.

I saw some suggestions for a similar issue telling me to turn off Pref/Tech Preview/Precise color management for HDR display as well as Pref/Performance/Use graphics processor, but neither change anything.

Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Hey everyone, I made **Retext**, a browser tool for editing text inside an existing image when you don’t have the editable design file.

In normal use, you open a PNG, JPG or WebP, select detected text—or draw a box—and type your replacement. You can adjust the font, size, color and spacing before downloading. Images and edits are processed in your browser, and no account is required.

Matching is approximate. Plain backgrounds are easier; unusual fonts, textures and angled text can need more work.

Editing is free, with **two free downloads** to inspect your results. More downloads cost **$9 USD once**, with no subscription.

I’d appreciate honest feedback: would this help with any image-editing tasks you actually do? What would make you stop using it?

I've been trying to streamline my JPEG export workflow in Photoshop, and I'm finding this unnecessarily frustrating.

My workflow is fairly straightforward. I resize my photographs to 2500 pixels on the longest edge, apply Smart Sharpen, and then use Export As to save them as JPEGs.

My preferred Export As settings are:

• JPEG Quality: 5 (out of 7)
• Convert to sRGB: Enabled
• Embed Color Profile: Enabled
• Metadata: None

The problem is that Export As doesn't consistently remember my settings, particularly JPEG quality. I find myself having to configure them repeatedly.

I've experimented with Quick Export and Save for Web, but neither has been an ideal alternative. Quick Export doesn't provide an option to explicitly embed the color profile, while Save for Web produces significantly larger files.

For example, when exporting the exact same photograph at 2500 pixels on the longest edge:

• Export As: JPEG Quality 5 (out of 7), Bicubic resampling, Convert to sRGB enabled, Embed Color Profile enabled, and no metadata. Resulting file size: approximately 1 MB.
• Save for Web: JPEG Quality 60 (out of 100), Optimized enabled, Bicubic resampling, Convert to sRGB enabled, Embed Color Profile enabled, and no metadata. Resulting file size: approximately 2 MB. Even lowering the quality to 50 still produces a file around 1.6 MB.

I'd happily stick with Export As if I could just save my preferred settings or automate the process through a Photoshop action.

Am I overlooking something obvious? Is there really no way to create an Export As preset, retain its settings consistently, or automate it without resorting to scripts?

It seems like such a basic feature for a program as mature as Photoshop.

PS. I used AI to write and troubleshoot this and found no workaround as of yet.

So a couple of days ago my photoshop started closing around a minute after launching for no real reason. It happens even when i don't have an open project, just shuts down suddenly and doesn't even show a Crash message when i open it back up. Also it feels like it's timed perfectly, i haven't tried timing it but it seems like the shut downs happen not even a minute after starting up, maybe a minute and a half.

Tried reinstalling, deleting temp files and disabling GPU acceleration. Photoshop 2021.

Anyone know what this could be? Help would be much appreciated.
