Photoshop :: Scrolling Past Canvas Edges When Zoomed
Mar 30, 2006
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?

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.

Using 2014AutoCAD. Sometimes when zooming in using the mouse wheel by 1 click it the view will go from being zoomed out to zooming past the object in my drawing. this is happening in different drawings.Â

I'm currently using windows 8. OS Version is not related to this issue I think since I'm using both CS5 and CS6.CS6, compared to CS5, scroll increment is just too small, and there's no option for this in CS6. It is a real pain while zoomed in.

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?

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 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.

How to select exactly on the edges of the canvas ?
Lets say I create layer 1 , 640 x 480 and fill with white . Now I create a new layer, layer two, and I only want to select the whole top section (ie right from top, so the selection will be 640 wide, and lets say 50 down ? Just not sure how I can select right on the edges (i.e. on the edges of the canvas).

I have a vertical (rectangular) photo that I have pasted into a square canvas. I am looking to expand the photo to the edges of the canvas in a specific way: I want to stretch the edges of the photo (not the whole photo) such that the closer the photo edge is to the edge of the canvas the more stretched it is.

I'm working on a flyer on a 8x11 canvas, but I want all of the elements I'm working to be transferred to a NTSC video film format. I understand how to a open a NTSC (Video Film Canvas), but I do not understand how to convert a canvas that I'm working to that.

I just got CS5.1 at my job. This must be a preference, but when I adjust the Canvas size, it will constrain the image, rather than cropping the canvas. The Anchor in the Canvas Size menu appears outlined (highlighted?) which indicates that this is something in preferences that I can adjust.

When I go to create a File/New Canvas, sometimes the canvas area shrinks a lot.
Is it possible to keep the original canvas size ?

I try to use the lasso tool to select an irregular chunk of an image and copy this chunk to another part of an image.
When I do this, it says "Could not complete the copy command because the selected area is empty." But there is clearly something in the selected area, and even if there wasn't, it should still copy white space.
This worked once, but when I try to do it now, I have the above problem. I don't know what I did different the time that it worked.
I'd use Microsoft Paint to do this, but it only lets me copy and paste square
chunks and I need irregular.

I'm running a batch process to apply a certain action. This action selects a color in the image, then switches to the alpha channel, selects a new background color, then deletes the content selected, leaving the area with a new rgb value. The problem is that not all the images have that color, so when it goes to select it, it doesn't find it.
Then an error pops up informing me that the delete funciton isn't available, since there's nothing selected. I've tried logging them to a file, but even then, the action stops at that step and moves onto the next image. Therefore it never makes it to the close step, so they remain open.

My Photoshop Elements 9.0.3 will not crop photos as it did in the past. When I use the crop tool, the photo is changed to the size of a dot and is unrecognizable.

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'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 tried the following in Illustrator,
So basically, I created coloured text inside Adobe Illustrator and however much I zoom into the text, the text always appears to have smooth edges. Once I click on 'Save For Web', the edge all around the text becomes rough and aliased. I chose GIF and PNG, but it still happens. The text is on a transparency background. The same problem applies to images when I am creating a logo.

Reinstalled PSE 5.0 on new computer running Windows 7. Downloaded the service pack for PSE 5.0.2. Read that I needed to adjust the compatibility to Windows XP (service pack 3) PSE opens, but only as far as "Reading Preferences," then never goes farther.Â

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'm not sure why, but Photoshop just started doing this after I converted my files to a smart object. When I try to zoom in past 50%, it displays these transparent pixel squares over the entire image. I tried rasterizing and flatting the image back, but that didn't do anything. It seems to keep doing this.

I have been using PSE 8 for a while, and recently installed the version 11 trial copy to see if it made sense for me to upgrade. Everything seemed to be going OK (PSE 11 converted my PSE 8 catalog OK etc.) until tonight.
Â
A few minutes ago, I tried to open up version 11 and it gave me an error (#6) that said there was a configuration error and I needed to uninstall and reinstall version 11.
Â
So, I uninstalled version 11. That seemed to go fine.
Â
However, before trying to re-install version 11 I decided to play around with version 8 for a while. Only now, every time I double-click on my PSE version 8 shortcuts (one for the main program, one for the organizer), I get a screen asking me to agree to the Adobe software license. I click "accept" but then the license screen just goes away and the program never starts.

I really need some special images for a 2D scrolling game background.
I will try to explain: if you put the image 2 times side by side, it should be giving the feeling that it's the same image.
Something like this : [URL] , but with the end of the image edited so it can be combined with the beginning.

having scrolling text within the LCD screen of the attached photo. I already know how to create the animation, but the problem is that I cannot keep the text visible only in the LCD screen and not on the outside. I've tried a layer mask on the Text layer in order make text appear in the screen, but obviously that didn't work. lol
I have just about every object in the picture on a different layer. The Green Screen, Scan Lines, Metal, buttons, etc.

I recently got a new HP computer and installed photoshop CS4 onto it. The irritating thing about it is when im using alt+scroll wheel to zoom in and out as soon as i get close enough to the image that side scroll bars appear the alt+mousewheel will no longer work. It simply scrolls up and down and i need to grab the zoom tool in order to do anything else afterwards. Im pretty sure this is a conflict with my OS or something but has anyone else had this issue or know a way to resolve it? HP computer with vista 64 home.
