Photoshop :: F-Key Shortcuts For Actions - Override System Shortcuts?

Jul 11, 2008

I have, up until I got CS3 and the new aluminum keyboard, not had any issues with this.

I have numerous, common actions recorded which have F keys assigned to as shortcuts.

F10, which turns sound off in the OS on an aluminum keyboard, overrides my Photoshop shortcut.

I've lost my 12 or so most common action shortucts in Photoshop because of this! That is about a 5% loss in productivity...

Photoshop :: Lag When Zooming (CC On OS X)

Oct 2, 2013

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.

Photoshop :: Zooming In CS4

Jan 17, 2009

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.

Photoshop :: Zooming

May 5, 2009

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.

Photoshop :: Grid On Zooming

Apr 1, 2012

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?

Photoshop :: Odd CS4 Render While Zooming, Anyone...

Oct 22, 2008

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 ....

Photoshop :: Accurately Zooming

Mar 23, 2008

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.

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........
 
Windows 7, 64-bit, 12GB of memory, Photoshop CS6, LR4.
 
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.
 
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.
 
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... 
 
Is this a memory issue (12GB isn't enough for CS6?) or do I have something configured wrong?

Photoshop :: Alt-zooming Opens The Menu

Feb 16, 2009

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.

Photoshop :: CS5 / Make A Zooming Effect In An Animation?

Oct 31, 2012

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?

Photoshop :: Zooming/panning Using The Mouse Wheel

Mar 16, 2009

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?

Photoshop :: Moving Or Zooming Canvas Crashes The System?

Mar 7, 2012

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.

Basic system specs:

VGA: GeForce GTX 580
CPU: Intel Core i7 3930K
Motherboard: ASUS P9X79 DELUXE
RAM memory: 8GB
 
Operation system: Windows 7 ultimate.

Photoshop :: Zooming In On Image Shows Grid At 500 Zoom?

Nov 27, 2012

Ive noticed since upgrading to CS 5.5 that when I zoom way in on an image in Photoshop, a grid shows up around the pixels at 500% + zoom. I don't mind it all that much but there are times when I don't want that grid to show. I'm sure there is a toggle somewhere in the preferences to turn this on and off completely but it would be nice to have a key command. Not sure if that exists

Photoshop :: Black (or White) Box Appearing On Photos Sometimes When Zooming In And Out?

Nov 5, 2013

I just recently upgraded to Adobe Photoshop CC and something really odd is happening:  On some zoom levels I have this empy black or white box appearing.  When I zoom in or out it disappears, or reappears. 

However, when I save the file as a JPEG, or bring it into Google Nik it is OK.  It's almost like there is a software bug, or a bad memory spot in my video card.

Photoshop Elements :: Zooming On Page In Photo Book?

Jan 8, 2013

I'm using PSE10 and want to make photo books.  I have a book uploaded and have been putting photos in but my problem is the text.  If I use a smaller text to tell a story on the page (ie: size 9-11), it is so small on my screen that I cannot see what I'm typing.  I want to zoom in on certain sections of the page so I can see what I'm typing and make necessary corrections etc. When I try to use the 'set zoom percentage' it zooms in on the center of the page and I cannot figure out how to scroll so that I can see the top or bottom part of the page in the zoomed in state.

Photoshop :: CS6 Shows Transparent Pixels Over Image When Zooming Past 50%

Oct 26, 2012

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.
