Photoshop :: Screen Blanks When Zooming
Dec 18, 2012
I'm not quite sure how to search for this, so it may be in here, but I'm not finding it........
Â
Windows 7, 64-bit, 12GB of memory, Photoshop CS6, LR4.
Â
In Photoshop, a normal Nikon D300 image, opened from LR4. I have my normal complement of layers for cloning/healing, dodging, burning, curves, hue/sat, etc.
Â
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE - not consistent, no idea what provokes it - I zoom in while cloning to clean up some small area, and at some point in the zooming, my image disappears and I have the white/gray series of boxes on the entire screen (the thing that shows up when you increase canvas and there's no image on that part)... I can zoom back out, and all of a sudden I have an image again. Zooming in makes it disappear. I have the clone tool set to "Sample All Layers", so it shouldn't be seeing a blank layer, and IT WORKS FINE ALMOST ALL THE TIME.
Â
I've tried closing the image and reopening it, but that made no difference. Did the same thing.
I have to shut down Photoshop and restart it, and then it typically works when zooming in the same way on the same image...Â
Â
Is this a memory issue (12GB isn't enough for CS6?) or do I have something configured wrong?Â

I'm using a student version of RAC 2011 and everything works out well upon installation. My problem is that whenever I pan or zoom in on my model, the screen will blink black and white, and at certain zoom level, the screen stays all black. I'm using an ASUS K52jc-Ex303 laptop with the following specs:
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit
Processor: Intel Intel® Core™i3-370 2.40 GHz
Memory: 4GB DDR3Â
Graphics Card: NVIDIA Geforce 310M
I have already installed the latest drivers from nvidia, which doesn't seem to work.
Matter of fact, it's so bad, that i'm always forced to turn off hardware acceleration which is a headache especially with large-scale models and it keeps on crashing.
I understand the fact that this GPU was built for gaming, and its not listed in the list of recommended graphics cards by autodesk. (I get the some features... message everytime i open RAC) My question is, is there anyway I can tweak the settings within the nvidia control panel to improve this issue on my revit architecture 2011?

I have a Window xp 64 os with 8GB of ram and plenty of disk space. When I use the lasso tool, after two or three clicks, the menus blank out, another few clicks, and the image goes blank (makes it difficult to finish the selection). As far as I know, everything is up to date.

When I am in an image, selecting an area with the polygon lasso tool, every time I click a point, the image blanks out and does not redraw. I am left with my pologon selection lines and a white image where the photo should be. The only way to get the image back is to force it to scroll. I have to extend the tool off one side of the image or another to make it scroll. Otherwise the screen does not redraw. I am forced to work with my images in a window instead of fullscreen to ensure that I have part of the image to scroll to when the image blanks out. It is doing this with every click of the polygon lasso tool. Needless to say, this is maddening! Has anyone seen this behavior before? I am running Adobe Photoshop CS3 on Windows XP and the program is up to date. I have two gigs of ram and have moved up the memory allocated to Photoshop from half to two thirds. I have stopped having other programs opened. I also tried turning off the preference for the 3D graphics acceleration. So far nothing has worked to fix the problem. I have about 1100 product photos to clip out -

This has happened since CS5 I think. When I select an area to copy into another document, I am so used to dragging it over to the destination document. Sometimes I have more than one document open at a time and dragging over them blanks them out.Â

I have a HP DesignJet 110 nr connected as a network printer. I have all the drivers updated including the network card. I have unistalled and reinstalled all the drivers and software.  I have also replaced the ink cart. too. When I print in AutoCAD 2011 it acts like it is printing stuff, but it goes throught the whole process and nothing prints. I just started creating PDFs and sending them to the printer, but thought I would give it a new shot.

Problem: When I create a new viewport, another viewport's paperspace blanks out or disappears. When I copy a viewport over, the new VP doesn't show anything and you can't maximize/"enter" its paperspace; it's like a simple rectangle, but the properties box says it is indeed a viewport.
Ex. Viewport 1 shows the top view of an object, Viewport 2 shows the right side view... as soon as I add Viewport 3, the top view in VP 1 blacks out. I attempt to ReDraw, Regenerate, etc, but it doesn't re-appear. I've run Plot Preview to see if maybe it's just a fluke with the graphics card on my screen, but alas, even in plot preview the viewport is blanked out.
It almost seems like there is a limited number of viewports I can use.
Solution: Run the MaxActVP command and set the value to a number greater than the number of VPs you actually need. This particular file had that value set at 2; hence, why a new, third VP blanked out the first one.

I'm here with 2013 SP2 64 bit Build 200 and two screens. Left screen is graphics area, Browser is on the left of right screen. Graphics is ATI Fire Pro V7800 with driver 9.3.3.3000.
In video (zipped MP4)Â you see a cutout of both screens, think of screens changing at the left of the browser.
Now, in many cases, after doing an operation, the browser is jumping back to the middle of my graphics in the left screen.

where when I try zooming in and out of any document, PS lags for several seconds. When trying to zoom in with a single click, after a second wait the zoom box activates and I have to click again on another spot for it to zoom in. Normally when I click a spot it zooms in immediately. When I try to click and drag a zoom box the box appears, but when I release the mouse button nothing happens and I have to click again for it to zoom. When trying to zoom out I have to click several times and wait several seconds for it to zoom out. There's no spinning beach ball/hourglass, just lag.

This happens on two different Macs running OS X 10.8.5 (an iMac i5 3.2GHz, 32GB ram and MacBookPro i7 2.3GHz 16GB ram). All other commands appear to be working fine. I've deleted all preferences, uninstalled and reinstalled with no improvement.

alt + mousewheel zooms however for some reason in CS4 it only zooms in untill the image covers the whole screen then refuses to work untill i manually zoom out. Alt + scroll at that point simply moved the image up and down. Anyone know how to fix this? ive done several searches as well as went through every preference menu at least 10 times and cant find anything.

i recently picked up a copy of Photoshop CS4 extended from my friend, and im a little new. The reason i got this was for my Intuos4 which will be arriving tomorrow. In the mean time i though i could practice a little. Ive been checking out videos of people drawing and coloring already existing images,
I noticed he was zooming in a lot, and the problem is when i go to zoom in, the lines obviously become distorted and lose a lot of quality.
Now i know its not my pc because im running 1.5 gigs of ram, a xfx geforce 8600gts , and an athlon amd 64. Ive also enabled OPENGL and updated my video drivers to the latest version.
why cant i zoom in and out like the videos and not lose a crap load of quality.

Whenever I open a file, it instantly starts zooming in as if I'm holding download option and turning the mouse wheel. I've change the keyboard and mouse, restarted my mac, reinstalled photoshop, but it's still doing it. This isn't happening in other applications.

When I zoom in, I get a grid. I click "extras" off and it disappears but won't stay off. When the grid is on and the photo is zoomed in very large, it is very difficult to see what I'm doing. Grid won't stay off. Will this be fixed in the final version or is there an option that I'm not seeing?

Just installed the CS4 Design Suite Premium and everything is swell so far with the exception of strange behavior while zooming. Whether I use my wheel mouse (logitech Revolution) or Cntrl/+- to zoom, the zooming is jumpy and all of the icons on my desktop flicker on and off. It makes no difference whether I have open GL turned on or off. I updated both the graphics card and the mouse with the latest drivers this morning and that did not ....

There's plenty of ways to zoom in and out of your images inside Photoshop, which ways suits you best?
I use CTRL SPACEBAR to zoom in,
and
CTRL ALT SPACEBAR to zoom out.
I'm also partial to the scroll wheel on the mouse.

Can I zoom more precisely than just by clicking with the zoom tool?
I have photographs of a medical patient. I want to accurately measure certain medical features, to see if they are getting larger or smaller over time. I figure that I can use guide lines to measure - but that would require me to have each photo starting out as the same scale, and that's why I need to be able to accurately zoom.
I suppose I could resize, but that would seem to take a very large amount of trail and error. If I can zoom arbitrarily, I believe I can use layers with top-layer alpha = 50% or so, and match any two photos to each other.
Or is there a better way altogether? It's not feasible for me to have each photo be natively as the same size/distance as every other, so I have to adjust the photos themselves.

Of late whenever I zoom into or out of an image PS CC flattens the image without prompting.  would rather it not do this.  Is this a bug or have I inadvertently set some preference that is causing this.

When ALT+mousewheel is used to zoom, the ALT press is also interpreted to open the menu, so when I stop zooming, I have to press escape again to get out of the menu. Does anyone else see this? It's a bit of a pain. Usually, when ALT is used as a modifier for something else, it also cancels it triggering the menu.

Is there a way to make out a text that is too small to read? I really really really need to know the name of these brands, but the labels are impossible to read due to the small size.
Is there a special program or technique to make stuff like this out?

I am trying to make a zooming effect in an animation and can't seem to figure out an easy way. Essentially, I would like a layer (.jpg or text) to start off small and then get larger as it gets "closer", essentially me zooming in on it. Is there a relatively easy way to do this in animation in Photoshop CS5?

I don't mean the Zoom Tool, but simple zoom in/out operations. I seem to recall that the default behaviour in Photoshop was that you zoomed with Ctrl+mousewheel scrolling, and if you just scrolled, then the picture would pan up/down (vertically). And you could untick the "Zoom with scroll wheel" option if you didn't want Ctrl+scroll to mean "zoom".
However for a while now, having that option ticked seems to mean that scrolling (with no Ctrl) is all it takes to zoom in/out, and if you untick the option then you need to press Alt+scroll to zoom; in either case, there is no shortcut for panningup/down.
Anyway, whether this was really ever the case or not, my question is: is it somehow possible to make it so Ctrl+scroll zooms and (simple) scroll pans vertically?

my entire system locks up.It seems to work fine at the start, but it will lock up on me on random. I tried finding out what the exact problem was, and it seems that moving about the canvas in any way always seems to be the cause. I also often get this while I try to save, in the saving process I would move my canvas around, and it would lock up on me. Thus making my .psd-file corrupt/unreadable.
I tried different methods to approach this, but no luck. One is installing the latest video driver, but it already seemed to be up-to-date. Second would be disabling certain plugins in Photoshop, like the FastCore and the MMXCore ones.
