Photoshop advanced techniques and reference: wind direction master table (drips down, flames up, streaks left/right with canvas rotation), filter parameter ranges, design principles (60-30-10 color rule, typography, composition, contrast/readability, platform dimensions), workflow templates (poster, photo edit, composite), advanced techniques (high-pass sharpen, dodge & burn, orton effect, blend-if, luminosity masking, stamp visible), 17 critical tool gotchas (verified bugs), failed attempts log (6 entries - DO NOT REPEAT), outer glow parameter reference, quality checklist.
BatchPlay/batchplay reference for Photoshop MCP execute_batchplay tool.
