Photoshop :: CS6 - Any Way To Pan While Zoomed Out?
Nov 8, 2012
This is something I found frustrating while using CS4 and never got around to finding out if there was a way around it. Now that I am using CS6 I took a look around the preferences and did not see anything that will allow me to pan around an image while I am viewing the whole image. This becomes rather frustrating when I am working on the edge of a photo and using a brush tool as the way PS is set up pretty much forces me to work right next to my tool bars and more than once I have accidentally clicked on another tool rather than starting my brush stroke off the edge of my work like I want to.

I have a few pictures that have some small objects in them,I was thinking..Is there anyway to zoom in the object in the image and save it that way?Or cut the object out of the image,create a new one and zoom that one in?

I've actually been through this on every edition of PS I've used, and now being on CS4, I figure it's time I asked about it finally, lol. Why is it that when I am zoomed in on an image, say 600% magnification or more, my selected tool becomes the guideline creation/drag icon? If I zoom out enough, it changes back to the tool I'm using (i.e. select tool, pen tool, etc.), but whenever I zoom in too much, it will automatically switches to the guideline tool, not allowing me to do anything else. I taught myself PS, and for the most part, I've figured out any problems I've had by searching forums, google, etc., but this has always stumped me. Is there something I need to change in my settings? Or a hotkey I can use to continue using my selected tool while zoomed in?

I have regarding showing pixels on an image? I want to do a series of images that are sharp in the centre and display no pixels (ie a 'normal' sharp photographic image) but that gets more and more 'pixilated' towards the edges so the the size of the pixels increases towards the edge until they are very obviuosly pixelated. I've tried using the mosaic sub filter but that leaves all the visible pixel 'blocks' the same size and I want them to get bigger towards the edges.

I have a problem with color banding in Photoshop CS6 while zoomed out, even though I am working in 16 bit. Here is a crop of the same area of a .psd while open in Photoshop CS6 (left) and in Illustrator CS5 (right).
Â
The banding is quite apparent in PS while not present in Illustrator. At 100% zoom there is little banding in PS, and converting to 8 bit makes it look markedly worse. However at 25% zoom (which these crops were taken at) converting to 8 bit makes no visible difference, making me think that Photoshop's zoom is working at 8 bit for some reason.
Â
Since the image looks fine in Illustrator I'm pretty sure it's not a problem with my display, or graphics card/driver. I've tried changing the color profile (currently set to Adobe RGB) in Photoshop without effect. I've also tried changing the 'Graphics Processor' level in Photoshop, including disabling it entirely, as well as reducing the cache level to '1' without effect either. I'm not quite sure why Illustrator is able to handle the image so nicely at all zoom levels while Photoshop introduces all this banding.

I remember using a shortcut to navigate around while zoomed in. It works this way: while zoomed in a document i press a shortcut key, PS zooms out and gives me the overview of the document, then while keeping the shortcut pressed i hover the area where i want to go next and release the shortcut keys, then PS zoomes the area i selected.

when you are zoomed out and you see the grey area around your canvas so that you can start gradients out in that area. Well, when you are zoomed in you can't extend into that area.

One thing that has always puzzled me is why i can't move the canvas while zoomed in so it's possible to see the gray area outside the actual image.
As far as I remember Painter has always been able to do this and I'm astonished this is not possible even in CS2.
Or is it?

registry tweak to allow overscrolling on a PC when zoomed out to where the entire image fits on the screen, and I made a mental note to get back and try it, but now I can't find the post from which to get the specific setting.

So when you're zoomed out, you can see a grey background around your canvas. But when you're zoomed close enough, so that your canvas is bigger that your screen, you can't see that grey background, since the canvas become the borderline of your working space.
Â
But is there a way to make that grey background visible even if i'm zoomed in?
Â
Example: I'm drawing grass and I would like that my brush strokes begins outside of the box, while being zoomed in.

I don't know why, but PS is a BEAR to deal with when drawing out shapes up close (to get pixel perfect position)
As I draw it I have to move the cursor "off the screen" to get it to start creating the object while it's moving the canvas over.
But it moves SOOOOO slow! I mess with 1400px wide images and I'm zoomed in quite a bit, and it seems to move by 5 pixels a second. Is there some trick to speeding this up? There's only 20 or so layers.

I often work with very large images (300dpi, with both geographical space and file size very large) since I'm often printing these images for print / direct marketing campaigns or signage. The image I'm working on now, for example, is 255MB / 44" x 42" @ 300 DPI. That's a big picture! So, sometimes I need to work in detail at the edge of a document. That's where the problem comes in:
When I'm zoomed in at say 100%, while working with that 44" by 42" image, obviously I must scroll around to get access to other areas of the image and display them on the screen. However, if I try to use the Hand tool for instance and drag up so I bring the canvas up and expose some part of the gray outside (and thus exposing the edge plus some blank space for me to work on, just like you'd do in Flash or whatever other programs.) When I try to do that with PhotoShop CS2, it will bring the image to the edge of the image's window, but not allow me to drag it even further like you'd be able to do at say a zoom level of 50% or smaller.
Can I enable this feature so I can drag images and move them into the window display but also show some of the exterior of the canvas so that I can work in great zoomed detail but at the leading edge in 100% zoom mode?

This just started happening quite recently and it's really annoying me, but I can't find a preference where I can switch it off.
Â
If I'm working on an illustration and zoom in on a detail, I'll find that any other open windows (within Photoshop CS2) have zoomed with exactly the same amount too, and I have to resize them all. Very time consuming when I'm zapping between open windows. Is this a setting I've inadvertantly clicked or a bug in the software?

Photoshop CS6 incorrectly displays Layer Styles when zoomed out. Different zooms display Layer Styles differently.I've noticed this issue since PS's document display engine was changed along with the addition on enhanced GPU support, but it never really hampered my work, until today.so, notice the lowercase "c" has some odd light colored shapes inside of it. These are there because I've applied a Bevel. Just how it should be be.
Â
-This is 100% zoom:
-Now 50% zoom:Â (notice the difference)
-Now 25% zoom:Â (big difference)
I was actually working 25% carefully tweaking my little candy letters to get 'em lookin' all nice and shiny. Got to a happy point but then zoomed in. I was dismayed to see the extra bevel I'd applied look like garbage (refer to 100% zoom pic, above).
Â
this project is huge - 28x36in 300DPI poster. Zooming in and out constantly sucks. I don't use Layer Styles that often but when I do I'd like to know that PS isn't lying to me when I'm zoomed out.

Brand new MacBook Pro - Non-Retina - OSX 10.8.2 / 2.6GHz Intel Core i7 / 8GB RAM / 750GB HD (currently 522GB free space) / CS6 Extended Version 13.0.1. x64
Â
I just got a new MacBook Pro this past week and immediately discovered that whenever I would try to move around on a zoomed-in image (using two-finger scrolling on my trackpad, as I've done for years), it would be very choppy/jagged/sort of jumping pixels. I've changed everything in Photoshop--Preferences--Performance multiple times (including the graphics processor settings, memory usage, history & cache), as well as all of my scrolling and trackpad settings, and have also tried with and without automatic graphics switching.Â
I have this issue in both CS6 (downloaded directly from adobe.com last night, extra updates done immediately), and CS5. I tried CS4 and there was no issue...but I didn't get a brand new computer to use an old version of Photoshop. Went into the Apple store today to see if they've seen this issue before, but the person I spoke to had not (and knew nothing about Photoshop...not that I expected him to).Â
I have a few friends who have this same problem - some just deal with it (or don't use Photoshop enough for it to be a bother), some have gotten their computers replaced (but with no actual answers). Apple wasn't convinced that this was a hardware issue in my case, but did offer to replace the computer (however it will take a couple weeks, as it's a custom order). I've spent countless hours searching these Adobe forums (and the rest of the internet) for insight.[URL]...
This happens on ALL images, regardless of file type and size (the image shown in this video is just a jpg with no extra layers - working on RAW files with multiple layers produces the same result, no worse). And once again, I have changed everything in the Performance Preferences in PS (including the graphics processor settings, memory usage, history & cache), as well as all of my scrolling and trackpad settings, and have also tried with and without automatic graphics switching in my energy saver preferences...all multiple times, all with closing/reopening PS, all with restarting my computer afterwards. Have I missed something, or do you guys think it is more than likely a hardware (RAM, graphics card, etc) problemHere is my (current) system info - again, I've changed the PS performance preferences multiple times -

The SDF shown below Zoomed In is displayed properly.
The SDF file Zoomed Out one level is missing a portion of the yellow line.
When I zoom out one level, a portion of the SDF does not display. This same portion will not print to DWF either.
If it were a SHP file I would delete the *.IDX file. I tried REGENALL and REFRESHING the SDF file.Â

I was using "Real time zoom" tool, when my arm slipped on somewhere on the keyboard and something weird happened. All my work which was drawed (plans, elevations, maps...) turned into a "dot" which is impossible to zoom in or do anything with it (I can move it though) and see the objects.

I upgraded to the latest and greatest version 2.8. I like most everything about 2.8.x. Generally, I have found the adjustments/transition to the new feature and controls to be a rather easy. However, I am having an issue with panning, while editing. It doesn't matter if I am at 100%, or while zoomed in, or zoomed-out, panning is a problem.
All the way up-to and through versions 2.6.x, while working details, zoomed-in to 800% or so, when I would PAN the image (hold down the Space-bar, hold down the left-mouse, drag the mouse, or while using the vertical and horizontal scroll bars) it was always a smooth image drag/movement. Since the introduction of 2.8.x Panning has become a nightmare. It's extremely choppy with, broken up, and it freezes up for short periods of time, basically it's anything but smooth. The panning feature is a huge step backwards from what I have become accustom to. The problem is I am zoomed-in on whatever it is I am working on at least 95% of the time (cutting, painting, etc.).
Perhaps I am just a creature of habit but I like working at the pixel level. I'd like to get panning working the way it has always worked.

I have PSP Pro X6 64bits french with the lastest service pack installed. I tried this:
Zoom in a picture that's bigger than the screenInsert a vector object (ellipse for example)Switch to the "move" tool and try to move the shape to the top of the picture. I went too far towards the top and I went beyond it. As I lost it, and after having zoomed out, I went back one step in the "Undo" list to retrieve itThat's where weird reaction are beginning: the refresh system is somewhat lost: I have to zoom out/in with the mouse to force a refresh. Sometimes, I move the object and it seems to jump back

I have a drawing that contains an ecw image inserted through FDO. The image appears in the correct location when plotted at a smaller scale 1"=100', but when printing a larger area at say 1"=2000' the image is not in the correct location. It appears to be shifted when compared to linework that is present in the drawing. The shift is about 100'.

I recently upgraded to the 2011 version. I noticed that when I am zoomed in on a dashed line to the point where only one dash is visible on the screen, if I select the dash using the blue (window) selection box, it will select the dashed line, even though the entire line is not within the blue rectangle. This was not the case in earlier versions of AutoCAD, and I was hoping that there is a way to disable it.
In other words, if I'm zoomed in on a portion of the line, I only want to be able to select it by either clicking on the line itself or by dragging the green (crossed) selection box over it. I do not want the line to be selected when I drag the blue (window) selection box over the line.
Also note that this happens with hatches as well. For example if you zoom in on a concrete hatch so that only one triangle out of the hatch pattern is visible on the screen. By dragging the blue selection box over the triangle, it will select the hatch. Again, in this case, the hatch should not be selected because it is not entirely enclosed by the blue rectangle, only a portion of it is.

Is there a way to do a pixel-exact (rectangular) selection when zoomed out?
e.g. I have an image that is 3000x2000, I have zoomed out to see the whole image and like to select a section that is 1280x1024 out of that image. When I use the mouse, I can't select it exactly (expected behavior as one pixel in my view is 2.3 pixel in reality) but even when I use the mouse combined with the arrow keys I get the same behavior (which I did not expect, I would have thought I could change the selection's size pixel by pixel).
Currently I'm solving the problem through selecting the next bigger size (e.g. 1283x1025), copy/paste it into a new image, then crop it to 1280x1024 and copy/paste it again to a new image where I save it. Is there a more efficient way of doing it?

I feel that my photos usually look very muddy around the edges/details when zoomed in in Lightroom.I am attaching an example that I shot RAW using Canon 5D Mark II with the 24-70mm lens. Is it something I'm doing wrong either when shooting or with post processing.

I initially discovered my issue in Photoshop CS6, but just installed the trial of LR 4.2, as well as 4.3RC, to see if the problem persisted, and it does. My problem is choppy/zig-zagging movement when moving around (two-fingered scrolling using my trackpad) on a zoomed-in image. Here's a video capture of the problem in Photoshop - and it does the exact same thing in LR. Solution is to use a mouse instead of a trackpad...so useful. [URL]...The image in this video is just a jpg, quite small in file size.
Â
I have adjusted every single scrolling/trackpad option in System Preferences, tried enabling and disabling automatic graphics switching in Energy Saver Preferences, changed all Performance Preferences in PS. I've also installed all Apple and Adobe updates.Â

Lightroom 4.3, Win 7 64 bit
I am trying to edit an Adjustment Brush in the Develop module.
I want to fine tune the coverage area for the brush.
I can use Ctrl +/- keys to zoom in/out, and the Page Up/Down keys to scroll up and down when zoomed in, but there does not seem to be any way to scroll right and left when zoomed in. The key shortcut lists I've seen don't list anything for scroll left and right. How to scroll the image left and right when zoomed in ?

I'm new to Lightoom but learning quickly. One thing that has given me a problem is in develop module when I wish to straighten and crop, but need to do this zoomed in on the image. Can't judge the straightening otherwise. When I try this as soon as hit the straighten tool the image goes to fit to screen and I can no longer judge my straightening.
