Photoshop :: Windows Screen Captures Look Bad When Resized Smaller
Jan 13, 2009
I was wondering why screen captures in Windows look so bad when resized smaller in PS (or other image apps). I'm trying to create a user guide and the images are fine when pasted into PS but look blurred when I use the transform tool to reduce their size (or resize image). I thought images got more defined when smaller?!
Side question: why does the arial font in Windows apps like outlook, office etc not look the same when typed in PS?

I am not yet an owner for VideoStudio. This program is on my short list of software I wish to use for screen capture (creating a series of tutorials for an online classroom) and I have to be able to produce these items in a minimum of 720P 16x9 format (Ideally would like to grab at 1080P but 720 is my absolute minimum requirement). Can VideoStudio do this for me? Do I need a specific capture/video card to be able to acquire at a 720P resolution?
I have a background in broadcast television in my day job, (I edit on Quantel and Apple FCP) and what I like about this software is that it's an "all in one" solution.
PS. running Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit, 8GB RAM, NVidia GeForce9600GT card

I've been a PSP user since PSP 7.
I've got a question about x4. When I do multiple screen captures and then I click on the minimized x4 icon, it doesn't just open back to the workspace like it used to in psp 7. It always opens this pop up of all the captured files I took and I have to select one in order to re-open the minimized x4. It's so irritating because I go back n forth a lot taking screen caps but it always has to force me to choose a file.
If there is a setting to skip it and just re-open x4 to workspace when I click on the minimized icon after taking multiple screen caps?

I get a black capture screen when capturing with CS6 on a Windows 7 machine. I'm capturing through Fire wire from DV tape, via the VCR function of a Canon XL2 camera. I have tried restarting, etc.; also toggled the "preview video" radio from the Settings button in the capture Window. Nothing works and I need to be able to preview my video as I'm capturing. It is not good enough that the video actually captures fine. Also, I am forced to turn off Device Control in order to capture because it kicks me out of every capture (an immediate message of : "no frames captured") unless I do.

My screen on Abode Photoshop elements 9 just went from a screen filling horizontal format to a smaller vertical one. It's making editing difficult.

The problem I`m having is that I have some text I want to have printed out. When viewing the image on GIMP the text image is the proper size that I want. When I print it out on my epson printer the text is much smaller. I called Epson and they said it must be a setting in GIMP. how to correct this? The file is a .png file.

I am using a Firewire and have a Sony Handycam. I find that although VSX4 captures okay - that when I stop the capture and go through to 'Edit", the project playback or clip playback won't play, and yet if I use the 'scrubber' with my mouse, it plays the entire captured part.
This is a little hard to explain: what happens is during 'video capture' - VSX4 begins to capture and then the preview screen freezes. The capturing however continues, even though the preview screen has frozen. After a couple of minutes I stop the capture and go through to 'edit' but I find when I press the button to play back (either as a 'project' or 'clip') it actually stops at the part where the preview screen had frozen whilst capturing. However, if I use my mouse on the 'scrubber' line, I can view the entire capture (e.g. the part after the preview screen froze).

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.
Computer info:
2x 24" DELL Monitors (main screens)
1x 19" Yiynova Tablet Dispay (used only when drawing)
2x Nvidia GTX 560Ti Graphics Cards
Windows 7 64bit

The bottom of the window goes off screen so i cannot resize it by clicking and dragging the lower right corner. Also in Navigator I can see that I should be seeing more image as indicated by the red outline. I have tried resetting Essentials, tried opening Photoshop while pressing Option / Alt shift, and nothing seems to work.

When I open "Image>Image size" for example, the dialogue window that opens appear half way off-screen, and I can't access it. The only way for me to close it is to use the Esc button.
Every time I open one of theese windows, they wander off a couple of pixels, until they can't be reached. Sure, I can try to reset their position manually each time I use them, but that's not how it's supposed to be.
I need a way to reset all windows positions. The workspace options doesn't seem to include the dialogue windows, so that's no use.

After making the move to Windows 7 a few months ago everything went fine regarding my tablet. Then a month later the driver died, i installed a newer version of the tablet for W7 and since then ive been having nightmares regarding the touch functionality of the tablet.
As of a week or two ago, the pen functionality has started dieing too. Im almost certain that what ever problems im having is not related to the tablet itself but my machine.When photoshop is not the active window, my pen can control the cursor to any position on the screen, however once photoshop is the active window, i can only control the upper left corner of the monitor. Ive tested it on a few apps and the same is happening on Fireworks, After Effects.
[URL] << shows the area in which i can move to
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit.
I have the latest patch for Photoshop CS4 (11.0.1).
Have the latest patch for my tablet (5.2.1-6) - Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch.

I am experiencing suddenly an odd behavior with Photoshop CS5.Everytime I open a new window in photoshop the window goes outside my screen.I have to go each time to the system preferences on my mac and switch for a second to another screen resolution to bring back the window to my screen.I have found out that when I disable OpenGL in Photoshop the problem goes away. But still, I want to use OpenGL.

The smaller windows that come up such as those for adjusting the levels, brightness/contrast, etc. moved little by little each time I used them, but I never paid attention until my Levels window moved so far up when it opens to its default location that I can't get to the top of it to move it anywhere. This has happened to a couple other windows for me, and I can't figure out how to fix it! I tried resetting the workspace, changing resolutions back and forth, restarting.

I have VideoStudio Pro X5 ultimate. Build # 15.1.0.34 I have upgraded my operating system from Windows 7 to windows 8. On windows 7, Screen Capture worked just fine. On windows 8 it does not operate. I get a message as follows: “VSSCap. Prepare Record Failed!!! #42” How can I get Screen Capture to work on my Windows 8 system? All other functions of VideoStudio Pro X5 seem to work OK. I tried to submit a question to Corel as to what this Error code means and how to correct the problem but they say "NO TECKS AVAILABLE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION" And just log me out?
What "Prepare Record Failed!!! #42" means and or how to correct it? It seems to me that if Corel gives you an error message then they should support that error but they do not! Why don't they? They say that Windows 8 and VideoStudio Pro X5 Ultimate are completely compatible then why am I getting this message. Corel really should support it's message errors and not let its customers struggle for an answer? I love VideoStudio Pro X5 Ultimate and try as I may I cannot solve this problem.

I've used PSP for many years and used the screen capture many a time. But I can't get it working fully on Windows 7 x64. I usually have it configured to use F10 to start the capture of an area. It was working a bit (but never with IE8) about 30 minutes ago but just isn't working at all now.

Did you get the driver from nvidia's Web site? Check for firmware anddriver updates first.Yes a bad move :P but i need to use some software that's not compatible with linux.
An obvious 'solution' is to install Linux as a VM under Virtualbox.

After an AutoCAD/Windows crash, I reboot. The system begins to load Windows (Win 7 splash), then the screen goes blank and a white Windows cursor appears -- nothing more; no desktop or taskbar.
Control-Alt-Del does nothing, however, the HDD light continues to flash as if it is continuing to boot. The same thing happens when I boot in Safe Mode (except cursor is larger due to different resolution).
I can boot from bootable CD and everything works fine. HDD scan and memtest both pass. I formatted the drive and reinstalled Windows and AutoCAD and everything works fine. However, two days later, the same exact problem occurred on the second of five workstations.
Details:
Win 7 Professional 64bit
MS Office Home and Business (with Outlook configured for IMAP)
i7 processor, 6GB ECC RAM, Nvidia Quadro 600 w/1GB RAM.
AutoCAD 2013 was originally loaded from a trial version, then purchased license key installed.We are using Xref on a file server and opening drawing on a file server across a ethernet Gbit lan.
