Photoshop :: Zoom Tool Zooms EVERY Photoshop Window At Same Time!
Aug 24, 2006
I'm having trouble with my zoom tool. If I have multiple Photoshop windows open, when I go to either zoom in or out of the top window... ALL the other windows mirror what's happening to the top window.
when i bring a image in and use zoom tool i lose pic and have to zoom a few more times to get image back is their away to keep the image from disappearing every time u use the zoom tool?
Using the zoom tool, there is a check box to select whether a zoom will also "Resize window to fit." Is there a way, using the _keyboard_, to select or toggle whether I want the window to resize when I use the zoom tool? I often want to go back and forth between asking for the resize and prohibiting it, but I don't want to have to go up with the mouse to click on that little check box all the time.
So normally when you hold the space key and drag, it just moves the canvas, but every now and then, seemingly randomly, it zooms way out and shows a little box which is the size and shape of the area of canvas I was previously looking at. If I move the box and let go of space, it zooms to that location, but all I wanted was to move normally. I don't think I've ever wanted the zoom out, move, then zoom back in behavior.
I have just upgraded from CS5 to CC (photoshop) and have lost the zoom resizes window facility, how to restore it?
I have checked the general preference 'zoom resizes window' but it makes not a scrap of difference - whether I use the zoom tool (cmdZ) or via the space bar+cmd / alt route or by using cmd+ or cmd-
I've got CS2 and I'm finding it very annoying that whenever I zoom in or out in a document the window resizes. I can have two documents open and their windows neatly sized to fit the screen, I zoom in on one and suddenly that document is filling the whole screen. Yet, when I go to Edit / Preferences / General I see that the 'Zoom Resizes Window' box is unchecked.
The only way I can zoom in without the window resizing is via the Navigator window. But that's more awkward. Any ideas anyone?
I hit the zoom tool to zoom in on my document. Say I want to zoom in 5 times. After zooming in once (clicking on the document once), the magnifying glass switches to the move tool cursor If I click again, slowly, it goes back to zooming.
This just started happening quite recently and it's really annoying me, but I can't find a preference where I can switch it off.
If I'm working on an illustration and zoom in on a detail, I'll find that any other open windows (within Photoshop CS2) have zoomed with exactly the same amount too, and I have to resize them all. Very time consuming when I'm zapping between open windows. Is this a setting I've inadvertantly clicked or a bug in the software?
Why in CS6 when zoom changes window size and a floating window fits in Photoshop window or on other display screen do I get scroll bars where a select all selection marching ants are not visible on all four sides till I drag out the window to get rid of the scroll bars so I can see all of marching ants.
In previous versions of Photoshop space for scroll bars is present but there are no scroll bar, select all marching ants are visible on all four sides when an image's window fits in Photoshop window or on second display. Is there a way to make CS6 work like previous versions? Also if I just open a document and Photoshop fits it to Photoshop window or second display the floating window is correct without scroll bars.
i have photoshop CS6 in a mac os x operative system and when i drag one image from the tabs to make it as a floating window in order to keep that image as a reference for the painting that i am working on, that floating window disappears behind my PS CS6 window like if it was part of another program when i click out of it, why is this happening.
I want to keep that floating window open all the time by the file that i working on.
Can I zoom into the time slider? When moving keys using the time slider they do not go to the frame I would like because the my current length is 3000 frmaes. The frames just won't snap to each indivual frame so they can be placed properly.
I'm wondering if you can zoom into the time slider, so all 3000 frames are not visible across the bar. If you could zoom in to, say, only have a couple hundred frames showing in the time slider, the snapping when dragging keys would be more accurate.

I'm playing around with time lapses in VS5 and am having some success. One thing I can't work out though is how I go about adding Pan &/or Zoom to a sequence. I can add it to individual images but i'm not sure how to add the effect over a series of say 300 images so that it's a smooth motion?
I use AutoCAD 2011 LT and I would like to put a pan and zoom (even a pan only window would be very useful) window on. Is that possible in that version?
Or alternatively can I go back from the annoying new menu design to the ordinary one?
I'm currently using Photoshop CS5 version 12.0.4. I recently updated my video driver, and now I'm having a problem with my zoom tool.
Basically, I used to be able to select the zoom tool, then click and drag to draw a "box" around whatever I want to zoom in on. This is the behavior I want.
Right now, however, if I select the zoom tool, the behavior is that instead of getting the "box," it just zooms as I'm dragging. That is, I click, hold down my button, and when I drag to draw the box, I instead end up zooming in (or out, if I drag the other way) of my image, until I let go of holding down the button.
I used the Zoom Tool I got a + and then if I wanted to Zoom out I would press Alt. It has now reversed so that when I click the Zoom Tool it opens as -. I have obviously done something but I don't know what it is. What do I do to make the Zoom Tool open as +.
does anybody ever find themselves getting locked in the Zoom tool? there's a few times when i'll do a bit of art, then zoom in or out, and after then i can't change from the Zoom tool. usually have to frick around pressing all kinds of keys and changing windows before it'll release. i thought it might have been XP's "sticky keys" feature but i've checked and all the options are disabled.
I'm currently creating slide show with about 1,000 photos. BTW, I need to apply automate pan and zoom feature on all 1,000 photos. Is there any method to apply this at one time instead of manually every single photo?
I have to be able to do this. I setup every cad program I've ever used this way but everytime I try in corel draw it launches help. I don't care if i have to disable the help, I need my F1 key as zoom window.
I have some layouts with one viewport per page, and i am trying to make a small program to zoom to an incremental window from left to right for some model space cross sections for highways.
Any code to go into each layout, find the viewport and zoom by a window? i can derive from there.

In all other versions of PS I was able to zoom using either a scroll button on a mouse or when I was Mac a pinch gesture. In CS6 it seems that the only way to zoom is to select the zoom tool then there's a variety of different ways to zoom. Is there a way to not have to select the zoom tool first like it used to be? I am using a synaptics gesture touchpad, Windows 7. I am able to pinch to zoom in most all other applications.
Also, another issue I see in CS6 which is causing an extra step from old versions- the "window-arrange- tile all" had a button on the menu bar. how to get those buttons back on the bar.
I like to use non-default zoom options like 35% and 75%, but I can't use them both at the same time, and whichever one I'm using disappears every time I open a new image or restart the program. It would be nice if the zoom was controlled by a vertical slider that can go to any number between 1 and 800, or at least 1-100.
I am using Photoshop CS5.1 on a Windows 7 laptop. Its about 3-4 years old. But this problem has started only recently. Every time I use the section tool, it will almost always break my scrubby zoom and makes a weird, glitch looking box. (as shown)
It also drops the quality of my images slightly. Does this have to do with my video card?
