Photoshop :: Screen Flash When Using CS6 On 27 Inch IMac
Oct 14, 2012
It only happens after Photoshop CS6 (fully updated i Mac and CS6 - see below image for specs) has been running for awhile. The screen, in dark areas of the display, will have screen flicker like stars twinkling on a night sky. Then the display will completely go black and then back on about every 5 seconds. The only way I can make it stop is to power the i Mac off and then start it back up. Then it's fine until the next time I start Photoshop.
It doesn't do it immediately when Photoshop starts. It's usually about 30 - 60 minutes after I've started it. Also if I open Photoshop and use it and then shut it down I don't have any issues...only after it has been running for a while.
I had a 3 year old imac with CS3 installed, which has failed. I have bought a brand new imac 27", but I was told in the store that this machine is too new to use CS3!
Is it the OS thats too new or the hardware? I'm happy to downgrade my ios to snow leopard or something like that.
For the first time since I've had my iMac, the docking station (which is at the bottom of the screen) disappears out of the bottom of the screen. I can bring it back using my mouse, but when I move my mouse somewhere else on the screen, it disappears again off screen.
I have a layered vector drawing of an iMac. Sometimes I want to take a screen grab of a website I have created and place it within this vector to put on my website as part of my portfolio.
To do this I use the Apple screen grab command, then I shrink this very large png file and place it on the appropriate layer on my iMac vector illustration. The trouble is it looks terrible once it has been shrunk down to size. You can not read the text or the url properly...
I see websites all the time that have this type of thing and the image looks great. Any tips on how to do this?
FYI I'm working off a 27 inch mac screen, so my captured png image is always huge. The quality is getting lost when I reduce the size of the placed image in Illustrator.
I use an iMac with LR3. I would like to know if it is possible to enlarge the image so as to fill the screen. I have tried Window>screen mode> full screen and pressing L to get rid of panels but there is still a large black margin around the image.
LR has just started to launch in full screen mode on my iMac without any opportunity to minimize it or move to another program. I would like it to launch like it used to where I can control the window size but can't seem to figure out how to get back to that capability. I have an iMac running Mountain Lion. LR is the only program effected as Photoshop still launches the old way.
I have created a pressure network using 8-inch diameter pipes. How would I change the 8-inch pipes to 6-inch pipes without having to recreate the network.
Someone would like a small 1 inch by 1 inch logo for invoices at 600 DPI. However I understand that illustrator doesnt work in DPI or PPI since it's vector. Would I have to transfer the small image over to photoshop. I did try and save a 1 inch by 1 inch logo at 600 PPI, however when I saved the image it was no longer 1 inch by 1 inch. It had increased significantly in size regardless of what file format I saved the image as.
If I try to draw a square box in any size, illustator does not make it square.
For example, if I select the Rectangle Tool, click in the art space and set the rectangle to one inch by one inch, I get a box that is 1.0003 by 1.0003
Here is a screen shot of what I am getting.
This is also happening to any rectangle and circle.
Even if I hold down shift to keep the preportions lock, it still happens.
I have check and nothing is snapping or set to snap.
This is a major issue for me as I use illustator for creating dielines and those dielines need to be very accurate.
What is the optimal number of dpi/inch or dpi/cm to work and to plot a 3m x 0.8m paper /photo paper/ orapaper , RGB or CMYK, are there plotters optimizeds to plot from RGB better CMYK ?
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) 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.
while i was outside my dad opened a jpg.. and the inches seemed LARGER ..
so i zoomed in the same %.. and it wasnt pixelated.. there were More pixels in the inch.. so i pasted something from my previous work.. and Indeed. it was SMALLER.. so i had to redo the whole thing.. it was bigger work.. but the print was very improved.. my question is.. how can you control how many pixels are in an inch.. if you can at all.. and if you cant how do you explain what happened..
I'm having trouble printing an image that's longer than 11 inches. I have a Canon i560 printer, and use either PS 7 or PS CS.
I want to print an image that's 6 x 16 inches, using 13x19" paper that I've cut in half the long way. I specified Custom (for size), and got approximately the correct width, but it stops printing after 11 inches. I also tried printing a JPG version of the image using WindowsXP print utility, and it allowed me to specify a custom size, but it also stops printing after 11 inches in length.
I had an 11x14 document set at 175 pix/in. When printed the document was huge (probably 75% too big, maybe more). I was thinking maybe there can only be so many pixels per inch, and because I had it set too high, the dimensions of the doc. were distorted. Anyone know if there is such a magick number?
I have a 7.2 MP digital camera. When I upload the images to Photoshop, they show up as 72 pixels/inch by default. How can I have them at 300 pixels/inch? I bought the camera, so I could start doing posters.
Constantly switching the Info Panel from displaying inches to pixels and vice versa?
How to avoid having to do this? I either want to see one or the other, sometimes being able to see both simultaneously would be nice. While dragging out Rectangular Marquees, doing Transforms, etc.
CS3 / XP Home. I am trying to print a 7 by 10 in image using my old Canon BJ200 printer. On Page Setup the right margin always default to 2.5 in,despite repeatly input to defferent numbers. I've lowered the image to 300dpi with no effect on print setting.What can I do?
After cropping a photo in cs4 i have tried hitting the return key as well as edit/crop and then my photo disappears and the image box reduces in size to about 1 inch square with no image. I have expanded the image box but nil photo. This has never happened before.
I reloaded cs4 onto my computer but the problem still exists. I have also tried out opening the file from Bridge as well as Photoshop with the same result.
I have used Photoshop 5.5 (on a disc with key) on Windows XP happily for several years. I am now converting to an iMac. Will this version load and work?
I have the new cs6 master collection and all programs work well and don't cause problems when I shut down my iMac except Photoshop. If I use photoshop, anytime I try to shut down my computer all I get is a spinning wheel and computer will never shut down. This happened on cs5 as well and thought newer version would fix problem but it has not.
I can't print from Photoshop cs5 on an imac running lion 10.7.4- when I try to print to either my Epson or canon printer it says disk error. I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling, downloading the latest patch, and clearing the preferences. Do I need to upgrade my operating system?
I have bought the full version of CS5 for my Mac Book Pro online at the Adobe shop. Yesterday I received a new iMac 27 and I wanted to install CS5 from the Adobe download using my license key. But I can't find the link to CS5 only CS6. How do I proceed to install CS5 on my iMac?
