Hm, as I don't have any recent PS version: could you check if, when saving a PSD from PS, you still get the choide "save in legacy format" (or something like that) "to improve compatibility with older versions"? And what's the PS version number? (see in "about")

A common source of difficulties is using external volumes for Autosave as well as normal save. Could you check these first?

Ah, on Mac every program has a "recent files" list available, which is maintained by the OS.

While the mathematical explanation is correct, other software, namely PS, handles a multiplied layer on transparent as it were on white, without actually adding any white pixels on that layer.

There's always confusion about which FX only work with a white fill and which work also with lines on transparent. I'm used to fill the frames with white, apply the FX, merge layers when needed, and finally apply scan cleaner.

Another of my last year's projects is online now:

OK. Select transform tool. Move image. You'll see a green and a red rectangle now. As long as both are visible, nothing is done yet, you can adjust and change. Hit enter. Only the green rectangle is visible. Transformed image has been written. Undo. That last step is reversed, image is shown before ...

All the best to all of you. I've noticed that my New Year's greetings get more and more grim over the years, and I blame reality.

This already exists: have a look at the Sketch Panel, click the black inkwell.

Just found this classic today which is mentioned in every book, but seldom shown in entirety. It's from 1974 and one of the first films done with vector graphics on a computer.

Is there any layer extended long enough to the end of the sound?

Can't enlarge the image, but it clearly looks like you have 2 different sample rates there, that's why they show a different length.

Check if the file and TVP use the same sample rate.

As a way to test this: import one of the offending files into Audacity and export it again from there, and test with this new file.

18 yrs is exactly the age of my cintiq too - should I look out for any signs of failure? Creaking joints, a higher demand of tea, forgetting which room it is in? Fortunately I've already a new one (bought when I had the money).

At least that's something one should try.
