Wow you were right! I went to my account and it said I wasn't registered for some reason, so I just signed in and there were my assets. Actually they were free, it was several years ago in one of the AP updates as I recall. You could check your account and see if there are any free ones that you can download if you want. That was brilliant, thank you for hanging in with a trivial issue!

You could try sampling a colour from another part of the sky, create a layer above, paint this colour over the blown out part of the image, blur it, use the Colour blend mode, then adjust the opacity. Another layer, using Multiply, with very low opacity, might also help. It needs a bit of trial and error to make it look realistic and not splodgy! Personally, I like the image as it is!

I don't think the highlights are blown out and I kind of like it exactly how it is

Since the Place Tool has its own – currently empty, in Designer and Photo – Context Toolbar, that might be a nice place to have a checkbox for this, maybe with a few other options for how the image should be resized (max fit, min fit, etc.).
Maybe this could be extended further by allowing the user to get the image to fit within the selected layer is there is one, but I don’t know how well that would work in practice as I’ve not thought about it much.
Might be worth adding a feature request and seeing if anything happens.

Thanks Walt!

As one single Shortcut?  Nope, as Walt already said, there's no real duplicate image funtion in the sense of creating a duplicate image document via one click!
But there are some workarounds, which would need more than one keypress here, either via copy/paste of all layers, or Snapshots etc...
 

Nice, that gives me an idea. How do you get the letters to tilt like that? 

Thanks Paresh

Thank you!

Thanks I will try each of those!
 

Yes I got it straight now. It's just confusing because i haven't even thought about these settings for years until they suddenly changed. Thanks for hanging in with this. I'm an amateur, if you haven't already guessed, not a pro.

Got it, thank you!

it worked - thanks!!

thanks for yr help Dan!

OK thanks Alfred.
 

Thanks John, that makes sense. I wanted to open multiple images to find a Nik filter that would give them a similar look or color cast.

That was it - thank you!

Thanks i got it now - i didn't unzip them so they didn't show up to import.

I tried that but lowering the opacity shows the blank document beneath.

Thanks Alfred! I have used place before but never noticed it creates a 2nd layer.

Is there a link that explains when to use each of these? thanks.

Hi - I dnloaded a macro called distortions, I don't remember where I got it from. It worked great at first & now not at all. I rednloaded but no change. Anyone else have this macro, or this issue? Thanks.

Thanks Dan! It's taking me a long time to find my way around AP but the more i stay with it, the more I like it!

Thank you!!
