Photoshop :: CS3 - New Monitor & Resolution
Apr 23, 2009
i just upgraded to a 32" HDTV as my monitor. i originally connected the monitor with a DVI-I to VGA. only issue with thatwas that the resolution was limited to 1280x1024. but everything looked GREAT. i upgraded the connection to DVI-D to HDMI to get the increased resolution. i have set the resolution to 1920x1080. everything looks great . . . except in PS. if i look at an image in Bridge, it looks good. but when i open the SAME file in PS, it looks like it was WAAAAY oversharpened. i know it may be hard to know what i am describing without seeing it for yourself, unless you have encountered this issue before. but i am hopeful that someone here knows not only what the problem is, but what the solution is. thank you. jp in the event that this info might be of value, my Operating System is Windows XP Pro; 64xVideo display card / driver version: NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GT/GTO

I think monitors were all 72ppi, so if you made an image for the web or display on monitor, you made it 72ppi. Now that it seems like monitors are getting higher resolution specs, what does that mean for image resolution?
Â
1. What does 72ppi equate to in terms of monitor resolution?
2. How many ppi should files be made if they are going to be displayed on higher resolution displays, such as Apple's Macbook Pro Retina displays?

I'm going to be purchasing a new PC computer system in the near future; which will be loaded with 64-bit Windows 8 or 8.1. I'm presently using CS5 & CS6, both 64-bit versions, on existing computers that have Windows 7.My work is photography and I do a LOT of masking. In order to see what I'm doing while creating masks, I typically use CS5/6 image magnifications of 300% & 400% with a monitor that has 1680x1050 resolution. On another monitor with 1920x1080 resolution, I have to increase my working space magnification to 400% & 500% to get the same "view size" of my work. That's because the "view size" decreases as the monitor resolution increases. My main problem is that CS5/6 will not produce "smooth" images at a magnification over 500%; as the image is pixelated to a degree that I can't accurately cut a mask. Therefore I need to do my work at magnifications of 500% or less, but I need a "view size" large enough so that I can comfortably see what I'm doing.
Â
For my new system, I'm considering monitors with 2560 horiz resolution. In order to maintain my on-screen "view size" of the 1680 & 1920 monitors, a 2560 monitor would probably force me to use CS magnifications in excess of 500%.
Â
What can I do such that CS will produce "smooth" (non-pixelated) images at magnifications greater than 500%? Or...what can I do to make the entire CS window appear larger; so the "view size" of the 2560 resolution monitor is comparable to a lower (1920, for example) resolution monitor?

I installed LR5 as a commercial upgrade to LR4.3 on Win8 Pro 64bit, latest versions. All catalog previews has been rebuild. I have a really annoying issue where previews, when zoomed in to 1:1 on a second monitor is not at 1:1 resolution. It only seems to happen in the Develop module. No such problem existed in previous versions of LR.
Â
Workaround:
1 - zoom in on primary monitor
2 - switch to another photo
3- switch back to original
Â
Now zoom will work.
Â
I'm editing 5d2 21Mp .CR2 (raw) files, as well as TIFF's and DNG's. All seem to have the same problem. I have 3 monitors, it makes no difference which of the other 2 I use as a preview device. It also makes no difference if I do a full-screen preview or a window preview on the secondary monitor. I've selected the image in the library module, in the original import folder.
Â
I suspect what is happening is that the 1:1 previews are somehow not being build when zooming to 1:1 on the second monitor in the develop module. In the Library module, I can see the "image loading" when a 1:1 is not available, but in the develop module, the image just zooms in and there is no rebuild. Or maybe the preview is there but it's just not loaded.

Why can't I drop a clip in the Program Monitor from the Source Monitor in Premiere? When I try to move a clip from the Source to the Program Monitor, a hand displays with the "circle with a line through it" symbol.

I realize the nature of my question maybe asking the impossible, but I have a low res image I downloaded from the internet, placed in an InDesign page, blew it up and printed it out. I was going for the distressed look that it has, it looks ok when I print it out considering it's low res and I blew it up fairly large. However, it's a little too pixelated to look professional when printed. Are they any tricks or things I can do to make it look higher res for print. I've attached the image as well as a screenshot of the InDesign file so you can see it in context.

I am a Photoshop newbie and I have a series of graphics (all 72dpi from a website) that I would like to print in 300dpi. Is it possible to take a 72dpi .jpeg or .gif file and easily convert it to a higher resolution printable graphic? If Photoshop can't do it, is there any type of program that can?

I'm trying to create a high resolution version of a low resolution texture used in a game. I've found a pattern that I think is acceptable, from a real image.Now the question is this: how can I colorize the large image to that it is as resemblant as possible to the original one? I've tryed a simple colorize, but the result is not so good...
Original texture:

My ten year old crt is displaying color fluctuations - from calibrated to redish and back again, every few minutes.
I went on line to decide which crt to buy as a replacement and was stunned to find only very low end units offered, I can not find any suitable crt choices.
I need advice as to, are lcd monitors now up to the task for quality editing in Photoshop.
Your expert advice, gained from 1st hand experience will be appreciated.
I've read that the best way to shop for a new LCD is to test out each model 1st - even though I live on the border of Chicago (Evanston), I don't think there is any outlet available where this can be done.
I've also read that LCD makers use differing conditions and benchmarks to rate their contrast ratios.

I'm working on a graphic for a Flash presentation. I've been working in Windows RGB proof setup. Then I realized that when I save as a JPG, it changes color. I spent a lot of time getting the colors on this abstract piece perfect, and don't relish the thought of having to go it again using the Monitor proof setup. Is there a way to convert the way the colors look in Windows Proof to be the same as it looks in Monitor RBG proof?

I have calibrated my monitor with Colorvision Spyder2. Why does Monitor
RGB in Working Spaces in Color Settings dialog indicate sRGB IEC61966-2.1
as profile for my monitor instead of the profile created by Colorvision?
Does this mean that Photoshop ignores the Colorvision profile and uses
its default (sRGB?) instead?
Iam using CS3 and WinXP home.

I am using Photoshop CS4 and I just upgraded to Mavericks. When I opened PS I discovered that all the palettes that normally reside on a second monitor are now all on the same monitor with my PS document and I can’t drag them to the second monitor. It seems that PS does not recognize there is a second monitor there. I can drag documents and palettes from other applications onto this monitor so it appears to be only a PS issue.

There is an vast amount of information on this topic, that topic being LCD monitor calibration. Some LCD have presets, theater, games, etc. I want to calibrate my LCD so that if someone else is viewing my work on their monitor and they complain it is too light or to dark, I can say it is your monitor.Â
One of my LCD has two presets that are of interest 'standard' & 'sRGB' my other LCD doesn't have any presets. What is the best or near best calibration I can manually set both monitors too, if this is even possible on LCD.

I've been running CS6 on my laptop for the past month with no issues regarding lag.
Today I decided to start using an old monitor as a second display, but whenever it's plugged in there is a huge amount of lag within Photoshop - so much lag that it is pretty much unusable.
From what I can tell, most other programs run fine with this setup (I've tried Sai and After Effects, and both are lag free).
Â
I've tried searching this issue - and there's a lot about configuring refresh rates on the individual monitors so they're the same. Tried that - makes no difference.
Â
Any settings within Photoshop I could tweak to make it run better?

I have a 146 gig hard drive with 3 gigs of ram. Im currently using PS10 as part of CS3 to finish a job and will then be loading CS4 with the new Photoshop, which I have. I tried Vista Ultimate and after nearly cracking up, went back to XP Pro SP3. I had a Nec Multisynch CRT and decided to go for a new LCD monitora Lacie 320, which Im most unhappy with.
The problem is screen resolution. According to the Lacie specs, monitors should be set at 1600 x 1200. At that resolution, Photoshop as well as the rest of the CS, and the visuals that I create in PS, are all minuscule, and my three websites look stupid. I called Lacie tech support, and they said that I could go down to 1400 x 1050 but no further without distortion.
There are three problems: 1) Even with adjustments in XP, I still have to keep my nose to the screen at 1400 x 1050 to see PS menus, read PS help etc., and would like the resolution to be at 1024 x 768; 2) indeed, 48+ % of computer users have monitors set at 1024 x 768 or lower and will have the pleasure of seeing what I cannot see and would like to see; 3) 38 % of computer users have monitors set at 1920 x 1200 and will see my work as postage stamps,

I was wondering what people were using for a calibration tool for monitors. This is not my profession so I am not looking to spend $500+ on a calibration tool but it seems like there is some fairly good units out there for under $300.

I find that working with a picture I get different colors etc. from my printer (Cannon MP 800) than what I wanted from what I am working with on my monitor. I know monitors and printers see and show different colors etc.

I'm using CS2 but the same thing happens in CS with a Dell 24-inch LCD monitor. An inch doesn't equal an inch and I'm not sure why. If, for instance, I open a letter-sized image file and the navigator zoom control is set at 100%, the actual dimensions of the image onscreen are 6 3/4 inches by 8 3/4 inches rather than 8 1/2 x 11. I can't find a preference for this in Photoshop and think it's probably an adjustment on the monitor but haven't been able to make it right.

here are my system specs. Windows XP Pro Sp3. 2GB ram. PS CS4 on a 160GB Raptor (10k RPM). Scratch on a 7500 RPM. 3 monitors (2 on a Dual head Nvidia 7800 GT) and 1 on a single head Nvidia 6800 GT.
Left monitor on the single head Nvidia 6800GT
Middle monitor (my main monitor) and right monitor, on a Dual head Nvidia 7800 GT
Here are the questions:
1. I have not noticed a speed bump with CS4 over CS3. Would it help if I take my main monitor off the Dual Card and put it on its own card. In other words, swap the left and middle monitors so that the left and right monitors are on the Dual Nvidia 7800 GT and the Middle (main) monitor is on the Single Nvidia 6800 GT own card?
2. Should I leave the scratch disk on the slower 7500 rpm separate HD or is it more efficient to put it back on the same Raptor 10k RPM hard drive as the CS4 Program?
3. with not noticing any faster speed, I tried to upgrade from 2GB to 3GB and found out I can not (32 bit OS limitation (can only see 2GB)) from several sources. However, that one is not closed yet because some say a 32 bit OS (Window XP) can see a max of 4GB. I am only throwing question 3 into the mix because if may be a factor. I will be talking to Dell later today.

If you open up fifty images and they open on the secondary monitor, not the primary monitor as you wished, any way to quickly get the all on the primary one?
Did this happen because the last image I opened I dragged to 2nd monitor?

I'm looking into updating the calibrator as well.
