Photoshop :: Popup Panel Windows Always Appear In Middle Of Monitor CS5
Jul 9, 2012
As of recently, all popup windows in Photoshop (i.e. colour picker, layer styles etc) appear in the middle of my monitor and cover the canvas i'm working on.
In the past, I would move this window over to the side and next time i open it, it would open in the last position.
This is no longer the case. Everytime it opens right in the center of the screen covering my artwork.
The same goes for layer styles. e.g. Stroke.
First the Layer Styles popup will cover my work.. i'll move it to one side
Then when I want to colour the stroke, the colour picker appears in the middle so I have to move this too.
I probably waste about an hour of my day just moving these popups out of the way.
The only thing I can think of is the fact that i've recently updated my graphics card driver (ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series) In Catalyst Control Centre, I hav ticked the option to keep dialogue windows in the correct place but this doesn't apply to the in-application popups.
I have 3 displays connected to my computer, 1 of which is a tablet screen I don't use all the time. (It gets disabled and put away when I turn on SLI for video gaming, or if I just dont need to draw anything at the moment) If I'm drawing something, I'll drag photoshop over to that 3rd screen and do my work. Later, if I want to just crop or resize an image or do simple image manip stuff, I'll drag the window back over to one of my other two screens. The problem I'm facing is that popup dialogs like the open file, save as, preferences; any new window that photoshop opens, appears on whatever monitor it did last time.
Is there a way to force photoshop to always show those windows centered or at least on the same screen the rest of the program is working on? I've been searching for a while and the closest thing I found was a setting called 'Remember Palette Locations', but it looks like that setting was removed in CS5.
I'm willing to change preferences, run some kind of reset script any time photoshop starts, or whatever, just something that will bring those new windows onto the screen I'm working on instead of where they last were. I sat perplexed for about 1 minute when I saved a picture as PNG. Went to upload it and.. ohp! it hasn't changed! Oh! There is an interlace option dialog is showing on a screen thats TURNED OFF.

I am new to creating ribbons.Is there any way to put two vertical ribbon button just in the middle of the panel? Is it possible to align Ribbon Buttons? Or changing properties of ribbon buttons like font size?
This is part of my code that creating two vertical buttons in a panel,but unfortunately they aren't align.
Dim ribbonbutton5 As New RibbonButton() ribbonbutton5.Text = "Detail" ribbonbutton5.ShowText = True ribbonbutton5.ShowImage = True ribbonbutton5.LargeImage = getBitmap(My.Resources.Rib_32) ribbonbutton5.Image = getBitmap(My.Resources.Rib_16)
The bottom of the Layers Panel is hidden when my secondary monitor is on. I opened Systems Preferences > Display and adjusted scanning slider but I still can't make the PS screen smaller. What else can I do?
On a MacBook Pro 15-inch retina display running OS 10.8.3, in Photoshop CS6: after launching PS, the work window is too tall for the monitor display. The bottom is cut off: there are no bottom scroll bars or nor any of the page info, I can't grab the resizing corner to change window dimensions. Also, I can't change from Standard Screen Mode: neither the left tool bar nor the F key has any effect. I've quit and restarted both the PS app and entire computer but problem persists.
If I try to open Photoshop CS5 while my second monitor is plugged into my laptop (via VGA cable), it loads normally, but won't display any opened images. I get a gray background and nothing else. [URL](I can even see the tiny image preview in the navigator, but not the image itself.)
However, t'll work just fine if I open Photoshop with the second monitor disconnected and THEN plug it in, so it's not a problem with the dual monitors in general...just when first opening it. It's annoying because, if I'm working on a project and realize I have to make a quick image tweak in Photoshop, I have to unplug the monitor and then rearrange all my windows after Photoshop's done loading and I can plug it back in.
I can't seem to find any information online that specifically mentions this issue. For reference, I'm using Windows 7 on a Lenovo laptop.
Every time I use a command which opens a window, like _options or _open, the window appears on my second monitor. What can I do to make the windows open on the same monitor as the primary window?
A big bummer that in the library grid mode (or any other scrollable part of lightroom) I can't scroll with my touchscreen monitor like I can in IE or Chrome or Word etc.?? What is touchscreen compatible in lightroom? I would love for lightroom to be touchscreen friendly.
I am not able to find the proper folder in Windows Vista for installing additional actions.
My folders are as follows: C:ProgramFilesAdobePhotoshop Elements10.0Localesen_US - (at this point there are 4 folders below but not one that says Workflow Panels)
notice the differences from what the other forum entries state:
What are the proper setting on windows xp control panel - printers & faxes - printing preferences, in order to be able to plot any size sheet in ACAD LT 2007? We are having to change the preferences in the windows control panel whenever we change from a d size sheet to an e size.
I recently updated to Autocad Architectural 2013 and can't find the design panel for walls, door & windows. This panel created 3D objects and had grips to modify the object. Where do I find it?
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 previously downloaded a trial version of PS6 after it expired I purchased and installed PS6 via disks. When I now try to run PS6 the trial version popup appears and states trial version expired. I reenter my license number which causes PS6 to work for a few days (if that) then I have to re-do this process. what files I need to remove to prevent this from happening.
I can't figure out how to customize popup menus. In particular, if I right-click a layer in the layer panel a huge list opens, there are far too many items that inhibit my workflow. All I want to do is hide some of them.
These are some I'd like to hide:
No Color Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Violet Gray Postcard New 3D Extrusion From Selected Layer New 3D Extrusion
lately everytime i open a file in photoshop I am getting a pop up saying that the document has an embbeded color profile that does not match the current RGB working space. How can I not have that pop up everytime i open a document?
I am currently running the new creative suite 6. Everything works perfectly fine but when I am in Photoshop trying to open my layer styles it will not pop up...but I know it's there because the hand shows up and I can't click anything else until I click enter which would mean im done in the layer styles.
I restarted my computer/re-installed Photoshop / downloaded the update...still doesn't work but it once did.
I keep getting an error pop-up that the ElementsOrganizerSync - No Disk. I doesnt go away, when I tell it to close it pops right back open. It started when I deleted some Actions I'd added to my library. Also, Actions that I've added recently are not showing up even though I've added them correctly. I plan to upgarde to version 11 but it has to wait a few more weeks.
I can no longer 'apply a tint (one of the effects is the editor) to a photo.When I select one and click APPLY, I get a popup window that says:
Plus members get online services, artwork and movie themes....Please sign in to upgrade to Plus.
Well, I use to be able to use this feature and never got that window before.
DO I NOW HAVE TO PURCHASE A PLUS application to supplement my PSE8?
Also, when I try to sign in with the same Adobe ID that I use to get into this forum, I get another popup window that says:
Photoshop.com services are currently unavailable. Please try again later or check your network connection. Error 400.
I thought my password might be wrong, so I also used the 1st popup window to request that it be sent to me... and I got a message that says:An email has been sent to you .... but I never get the email.
I just installed Creative Suite CS6 and in Photoshop, when I use the move tool a small popup window shows the mouse coordinates. I can't see any option to turn this off, either in the Options bar or the Preferences.
Is there a reason why I can not open the actions panel from the timeline when I have the code panel docked and open in application frame? If I close the code panel I can view the actions panel. Why can't I have both open?
Since PSP has devolved into adware I would like to know how to disable those annoying ads for PSP x5. Checking the "don't show this again" box does nothing. Is the only way to get rid of the ads really to just stop using PSP?
How to burn a Blu-ray with a popup menu (i.e. a menu that can be accessed without interrupting the playing of a Blu-ray)? I have no problem making Blu-rays but can't seem to find any information on how to get this to work (the promotional material from Corel says it can be done).
The advanced color popup is off my monitor and nothing I have tried will bring it back. Without access can't select any colors accept the default palette. When I select Advanced the popup is not visible. Just get a ding if I try to click anywhere. Pressing return apparently closes popup so I can proceed.
I have three monitors. Have tried making window small and positioning it on the various monitors. Have tried a Repair Installation. Don't have disks for a complete reinstall because product was a downloaded buy.
