Photoshop :: Display Quirks
Mar 16, 2009
When I open an image or use the menu a fine line is drawn across the top of the program window. It goes completely across the window through the PS logo, menu, and window controls. Oddly, this only happens when the program is maximized. Mousing over the buttons removes the line, minimizing then maximizing Photoshop removes the line.
When moving images around they stick at first, start moving but then are occasionally jerky. Moving image windows around was always smooth in previous versions. Also, the initial click causes the background to flash through. Continuing to drag the image around the background will randomly flicker through. Releasing the mouse button at the end of the move also flashes the background.
Any ideas what is causing these?

New machine, nice and fast, but there is a quirk in the display with in Photoshop. When I click on a layer to move it about, the display within the Photoshop window flickers. Sometimes, when I click on a layer, the whole image, inside the Photoshop window, goes black. By clicking on the another layer, in the layer panel, the image will reappear.

I am currently writing a book that will initially be sold as a PDF but may later go on the i Book store, however I don't have a Retina display myself and what is the best practice for making screenshots from a normal display look acceptably sharp on a Retina display?
Â
I have Photoshop along with the iOS simulator that shows how the iPad or iPhone will look if they can be used in some way but I mainly need to get menu items and dialogue boxes from various applications in OS X and Windows looking good on Retina screens. I really don't want to pay out for a Retina display purely for this task that would only take a few hours of work at most.

Sometimes this happens. At other times nothing will display at all. I have also had a portion of the picture duplicated multiple times on the stage.Â

After closing and reopening my command prompt, I find that it is now at the bottom left of the screen and no longer part of the main graphics window. How can I get it to display at the bottom of the main display?

New to this video editing game, just have a question regarding 4.3 and 16.9. i have a Canon XM2 which has a setting in the menu for 16.9 wide screen format. When this is selected on the camera the view finder shows a distored image (squshed). I have also found a setting that when 16.9 is turned off you can display 2 horizontal lines on the display. my question is am i better off shooting footage with the 16.9 turned off on the camera and then using Videostudio pro x4 to create the 16.9 format(if this can be done).

How do you add a display component to a display?
For example, Stairs have a stringer componet in plan display configuration but does not have a stringer componet in the Low Detail configuration. I need the stringer to show when I go to low detail how can I add a stringer componet in low detail.

NOTE: This is in AutoCAD 2002.
I'm working on one of our standard layouts for a client. Our typical drawing setup is the base drawing file, surrounded by our Xref'ed border. On said border Xref, we have all the information that does not change between drawings (Revision history, address of job site, etc). The only things that change - and, thus, are not on the xref - are the title of each individual sheet and their number; in the case of these objects, they are located on the drawing file itself in the appropriate position. They are, however, the same font as the text in the Xref - "Standard". Or, at least, they're supposed to be.
The text in the base drawing file seems to be a different version of the text from the Xref - a much blockier, sharper-edged version than the Xref text. My first response was "Okay - I'll just copy/paste the text from the border into my base drawing file, and force the existing text to match the properties of the imported text."
This, however, did not work. The imported text automatically assumed the same form as the existing text. Here's a screenshot from the base drawing, illustrating this (The "Mechanical Plan" also exists on the base drawing, and not the Xref):
I copied the existing text from the base drawing (In this case, the "Mechanical Plan") and pasted it directly into the Xref itself, to see what would happen. Apparently, it wants to stay blocky:
In the latter example, I even tried to force the blocky text to assume the properties of the smooth text via MA (Match properties). I specifically need to make the text in the base drawing conform to the style that the text is assuming in the Xref - which is to say "Smooth."

i've made a table on a webpage and in the table is a list of pdf's, u click on the pdf and it opens it in the browser window. for most of the tables this works fine, except for one. on one of the tables u can click on any pdf and it will open fine, but if u click on the second one (doesn't have to be the second in line, just another pdf from the same table i mean) ie stalls for like 5-10 mins then finally loads it. im on a 2mb satalite connection so i know its not downloadin it sowly (the files are like 300kb max).
i was thinking maybe its to do with the fact that the pdf's on this table have more images than the other pdf's.

I am using CS4 and LR2.1. When I open the same picture in both programs the picture in CS4 looks dull and washed out. My color space in both programs is srgb (I send all my pictures to Miller's for printing). Any Idea why and what setting I should adjust.

I am running CS6 64 bit on Windows 7. I see in book illustrations and on-line tutorials that there is a tool bar below the menu bar and above the selected tools option bar with some icons one of which is 'arrange windows' I do not have that toolbar visible and cannot find any way to configure CS6 to display it.

Since recently, whenever I open Photoshop CS6 (13.0.1) or Illustrator CS6 (16.1.0), the display color changes, i.e. as if the display color profile termporarily changes to a different one. Even if I switch to another app, the color change will remain until I quite Photoshop or Illustrator. Using Mac OS 10.8.2.

how to prevent this from happening?

My computer is a Windows7 SP1 64-bit OS on a 4GB RAM Lenovo system. I have Photoshop CS4 installed in it. I have a strange display problem that started suddenly - I don't know why.
Â
The brush cursors (which usually look like an open circle) in any of the following tools - Healing Brush, Clone Tool, Eraser, Blur Tool - are disappearing when I start to use them. The tool does function as it is supposed to, but I can't see the Open Circle cursor; the cursor disappears completely. This makes it very difficult to work around fine edges.
Â
Secondly, any manipulation with the Type Tool doesn't appear on screen immediately. When I type, the Type Tool cursor moves, but no letters/characters appear on screen; same if I use the backspace key to delete something. If I wish to move the Type layer with the Move Tool, it doesn't appear like anything is happening on screen. And yet, the tool does function, because if I minimize the Window and maximize it again, or if I shift between multiple open windows and return to the original window, now the characters appear wherever they are supposed to be. Whatever change I make to the Type layer doesn't appear on screen immediately. I have to switch focus (by visiting another window or minimizing-maximizing the work window) in order to see those changes.
Â
I know that it is some kind of a display issue. But I can't figure out what or how to rectify it. No other program on my computer is mis-behaving similarly. I have tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling PS CS4, but that didn't work. It doesn't appear to be a RAM issue, because I don't run multiple applications (except Windows Explorer) when working on PS CS4.
Â
There is NO error message of any kind. The problem simply occurs whenever any functions requires me to manipulate the cursor precisely on screen. Otherwise, for global functions, such as brightness, contrast, level, etc. adjustment or working with layers and so forth, there is no problem.

when you open a file, how do you see the length and width of the image easily?
So far I see where I can click on the little arrow button at the bottom frame of the window that contains the image and I click on the menu item for "Show" and then select "Document Dimensions" but it displays in inches and not in pixels.

How do I configure my Eizo CE240W (or any other monitor) to display proper length/width ratio on rulers? The horizontal ruler across the top has wider space between inch marks than the vertical ruler on the right.

I originally put it through Photoshop, it didnt work. Now its been through every program I can think of and i resaved it.
Still no go!
It DOES work if it is loaded into a browser as the sole content, but not if part of a webpage (either as an image or as a CSS background element)

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.

I'm using Adobe RGB profile in photoshop, and saving the images as .jpg with embed color profile on, quality 10, and baseline.
The images look exactly the way I want them to look inside of photoshop, but when I upload them and view them through Safari (or Finder) it does not look the same as it did in photoshop.
It does look good in Preview, so I'm guessing the software I'm using to view the image needs to be able to read the imbedded color information to display it correctly?
I need to convert my images so they look better on the web? As a matter of fact, how do I even know my monitor is displaying the image correctly?
How do I know working in Adobe RGB is even doing me any good besides the fact that it looked best to me? (I did calibrated my monitor to the best of my abilities using the basic Mac display calibration.)

I just finished installing photoshop, and tried to open an image to edit.The image seems to load as there is a tab for it and it is visible in the layers panel,but the area where you edit the photo itself remains grey. I have updated my video card driver software.

I have a new Dell M4400 that includes the RGB LED display that's supposed to yield such wonderful color. The problem is, it looks pretty off to me, and that gets far worse inside Photoshop. In general, the screen color seems fairly heavy on the blue/green side. And I could almost live with that, except inside Photoshop CS4 it's even worse. It just looks like a complete gamma disaster, with off colors, etc. However, when I view the same images from inside Framemaker, they look normal. (Other than that global blue/green thing.) I figured it was a color management issue, so I made sure the settings in the Vista Color Management control panel were all at their defaults. (sRGB IEC61966-2.1) Then I made sure Photoshop was also using that profile.My desktop machine also uses LCD displays, but at all the defaults settings, they look great. (They're not the LED type, though.) It seems this must be a color management issue, but I have no idea what to try next. I've tried searching for a color profile that's specific to this display, but I can't find one.

When I am using photoshop 7.0, I find some problem in the “save for web” command.
When I open some image (such as the Ducky.tif of sample images), I change the background layer to layer zero, select part of it and deleted it to transparency. Then I save it as gif by “save for web” command, but I find when I open the new gif file again in photoshop, the transparent part cannot be shown.
I know it will still be ok in web design software, but the problem is when I use other files (also Tif) and do the same operation in same setting, the transparency can be shown in photoshop.
I check almost all setting but I can’t find the different between this two files, and same condition happen when I use png-8 format.

I am having a problem with tif and psd, (& I see now it’s on some jpg) images displaying properly on my XP SP3 desktop. The thumbnail looks ok, but the preview image appeared rippled,and none of the original image is discernable.I’m using PSCS4 Extended. I’ve looked on my Vista Ultimate SP2 laptop and for the same program the images are displaying fine.The Adobe programs on the desktop are up to date .The images in question on the desktop appear fine in Photoshop or IrfanViewer. I have copied on of them to the laptop and in Bridge on the laptop it appears fine.I’m assuming that somehow, Adobe Bridge has got corrupted on the desktop.Is there any way to cleanly reinstall just bridge?

When I open an image, sometimes one or more of the "panes" or "panels" does not display, i.e. there is the blank checkered screen in that section of the image. If I zoom in or out, all the image will display, until I get back to that magnification and again there are one or more blank spaces. If I close and re-open the image, it usually, but not always, displays fine.
Sometimes I need to close and open twice. I would say this has happened about one out of ten times I opened an image so far in the two days I have been using the program.My first thought was to update my video display driver, but I already have the latest one (using Nvidia Geforce GT220).

I'm using the german version of Photoshop CS 6. For that reason I don't know how the functions are exactly called in the english Version
Â
I've installed Photoshop CS 6 on my notebook. And I got display errors each time if I use selections or want to rotate the view of an image and things like that.
Â
I already found out that it is a problem with my graphics adapter (ATI 6850M ). I tried the same on my other notebook which uses Intel Grapics HD 4000 which works perfectly, but using that notebook isn't a option.
