Alt + Scroll for zoom problem with Photoshop CS3

Running Adobe Photoshop CS3
Windows XP Pro Version 2002 Service Pack 3
When I check the "Zoom with Scroll Wheel" box in Preferences > General:
-using zoom tool, scroll wheel will zoom out to the smallest size, but will only zoom in until image is slightly larger than the file window then slides the image left and right or up and down depending on size of file window. When image is slightly larger than the file window, zoom out doesn't work anymore
-using Alt + Scroll does nothing
-Ctrl + Scroll zooms image the way Alt + Scroll should
When I UNcheck the "Zoom with Scroll Wheel" box in Preferences > General:
-using Alt + Scroll scroll wheel will zoom out to the smallest size, but will only zoom in until image is slightly larger than the file window then will neither zoom in or out anymore
-using Ctrl + Scroll slides the image left and right
In either preference setting, using ALT key causes letters for menus in the tool bar to be underlined

anybody?

I am having problem with Photoshop CS3 hanging

I am having a lot of problems with Photoshop CS3 hanging and crashing. Particularly when I open hi-res photos and click on tools, like the type tool. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?
Thanks.

Buy more RAM, plain and simple. Sounds the program is severely suffocating. for on-screen display fonts need also be rasterized, which also costs RAM, even if they otherwise remain native vectors. How much memory do you have? as a short term solution, you may wish to increase the program's RAM usage in the prefs, but it may not resolve the issues entirely.

Little Problem with Photoshop CS3

Hi, I have a little problem with Photoshop CS3, I'm not sure if this's because a Windows option that I messed up, but the thing is that I didn't touch any options, or some kind of preferences.
I'm talking about the "little windows" (I don't know the correct name) that come from, in this case, the Filter and Analysis options, they're coming down from their right side, and usually, the come down from their left side. This is really annoying.
Not big deal, but I can't really work properly. I hope you guys can help me, and this's my first post, I hope I didn't break any rule.

Thanks Mylenium, that was the problem, I don't even have a tablet, but that fixed my problem =)
Thanks again.

Installation Problems With Photoshop CS3

I had to reinstall Photoshop CS3 on my current MacBook Pro running OS X 10.5.6.
When trying to re-install using the original full version disk I received the following error:
JavaScript Alert Critical errors were found in setup -The installer database is invalid: please re-install the product from the original media. Please see the Setup log file for details.
I even even tried to down load and install the Trail Version of CS4 to see if that could be done. Same error happens.
Any idea what has happened?
Would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks

Ramon,
Thanks for the input. However I tried that already with the same results.
Have no problem with Lightroom 2.2 just Photoshop CS3.
Sent Adobe a message with this problem via their support section, however they just closed the case and more or less stated my time has expired. So now I am at a stand still with CS3.
My next option is just do a complete re-install of Leopard as I do have everything backed up via Time Machine.
In the mean time I found a program called Pixelmator that works just fine until I am able find a solution for this problem.

Problems with Photoshop CS3

I have had CS3 for a few years and it has never worked properly.
First I thought it was because I was using an old 2002 Mac Powerbook with just enough ram to run OSX.4
I recently got a new Macbook Pro and still have all the same problems. I have found Adobe Customer Services to be useless - I have spent dozens of hours trying to deal with them and they are a waste of time. I contacted the shop I bought it from and they said as much about Adobe support.
So I am running cs3 (updated) in Snow Leopard. I am having the trouble with Photoshop, It often crashs, it won't quit unless I force quit, it won't open by dragging files to the Photoshop icon, and many tools don't work; crop tool, photomerge, auto batching, layers won't flatten/merge and more.
I have clean installed it 3 times, reinstalled my OS three times. I was so fed up that I tried to contact Adobe again this week but it was a waste of time, they took all my details and assured me they would call me back and I never heard from them.
I installed CS5 for a free trail and that worked perfect but now the trail is over.
Can anyone help me iron out the problems I am having with Photoshop - the other programs seem to working OK, well, Indesign is fine, though illustrator is a bit iffy.
Many thanks
John

Do you have any third party plug-ins installed?

New, improved problem with Photoshop CS3 Clone Stamp Tool

After selecting the clone area with the Alt + L Click, I then release both and press the L Click to get the brush. The + symbol moves along beside the brush. It does not stick at the area that I alt clicked. I have reset the tool, but that has no effect. I have tried the alt-click more than once. Tha pallet does show an offset and has a clone source chosen. It just doesn't stick at the location.
Any help is appreciated.

If I understand you correctly, you may have a system problem (e.g., with OpenGL) if the clone stamp overlay is not confined to the brush shape.
Normally, this is what you see (cloning from the right to the left with a round brush):
If it's not working this way for you, I suggest downloading and installing the latest display driver from the web site of the maker of your video card, and also experimenting with the OpenGL settings in your Edit - Preferences - Performance menu.
CS3 did not offer the clipped Clone Stamp overlay. That's an OpenGL-specific feature, and only Photoshop CS4 and above have the OpenGL support needed.

We have version 10.5.8 photoshop CS3 for Mac. How do we fix a problem with photoshop not resizing dpi? For example we resized a 72 dpi image to 200 dpi, when we do a pdf analysis it read as 344 dpi.

Sounds like it's a problem with the Acrobat settings. Did you set them to the same resolution?

BUG: Alt+Scroll to Zoom with 4K Monitor on Windows

Windows 8.1 users with 4K monitors and have Windows' upscaling enabled, please let me know if you can reproduce in the comments! If you have a Mac, you can try to reproduce too, to see if it's just a Windows thing.
I recently setup a 28" 4K monitor for my Windows machine, and upgraded to Windows 8.1, because it has better independent monitor scaling. I also still have a 1920x1080 monitor. (I don't recommend this setup and Windows 8.1 doesn't handle it well. But that's another story)
Premiere Pro is up to date: 2014.2 Release: v8.1, Caravan
By default, Windows has this slider set to the middle recommended setting:
This upscales almost everything seen in Windows, including Premiere Pro's interface.
There's one problem: While hovering over my Timeline, holding down the Alt key and scrolling my mouse wheel doesn't zoom in as it should. It zooms, but the location it zooms into is incorrect.
Here's how Alt+scrolling to zoom usually works:
- wherever your cursor is located is where you zoom in to. If your cursor is hovering over the CTI, you'll zoom in with the CTI centered. If your cursor is at the 2 minute mark, when you alt-scroll to zoom in, the 2 minute mark will be centered in the timeline.
With Windows 8 scaling turned on, the math that drives Alt+scrolling's centering algorithm is totally thrown off! It's hard to describe in words, so here's a graphic that shows exactly what happens when I place my cursor over the red spots and try alt+scrolling:
If the software was working as intended, the red & yellow arrows would overlap eachother, because your zooming should be centered right where the cursor is.
It's driving me crazy, as I rely on the Alt+Scroll method to zoom. Zoom Tool and the +/- keys aren't granular enough; and resizing the horizontal scrollbar is a newer addition to Premiere that I haven't needed to use just yet, as alt+scroll was working fine for me until upgrading to 4K.
Now, I did consider that my second 1080p monitor might have added to the math problems as it has a different amount of scaling applied to it, but I completely disabled the second monitor and ran tests and had the same bug, so the chance of my second monitor having any affect on this bug is incredibly slim.
Obviously there are workarounds:
Turn of the Windows DPI scaling. Fixes the problem instantly, but everything is really tiny on the screen, and isn't really recommended
Don't use the Alt+Scroll method to zoom.
I'm assuming this is only a Windows bug, but if someone wants to test this out on a Mac with a Retina display, that would be helpful!
Can anyone else reproduce this bug? If so, can we all file bug reports to make sure the message gets across? I've heard from Mark that that's the best way to make sure the Premiere team takes an issue seriously. If a bug is only reported by a single user, there's a chance that very few users are encountering the issue, and they won't prioritize a fix.

Hi Tim,
If it's not recommended to use the software when DPI scaling is enabled, it would be nice if the software would give you a one-time warning, letting you know that Premiere Pro hasn't been fully optimized to work properly when scaling is enabled.
Not a bad idea. Would you mind filing a bug report? http://adobe.ly/ReportBug
So, I just installed Premiere Pro the day of this post on a brand new machine. If Caravan isn't the current version, why is Creative Cloud still telling me I'm up to date? I've restarted my computer a few times... the the CC app should know what's apps are up to date and which aren't, correct? Or is it just a mistake that "Caravan" is shown in the about info?
This drives me a little crazy. I will bring this up with my colleagues. The actual version number is at the bottom of the "About Premiere Pro" screen. Because it says 8.1 at the top of the screen is confusing customers.
Another bug at higher DPIs that I noticed after posting this... plugins are cropped wrong. Here's what it looks like if I use a Dynamics effect:
It's annoying, but this one has an easy workaround... just resize the window to way bigger than it should need to be. Sure, the bypass button and presets are partially covered, but it's still usable.
It would be great to get a bug report about that, as well. Thanks!
So yeah, in conclusion:
It would be great if you could let your customers know up-front in the software that Premiere Pro isn't fully ready for Windows' hardware scaling. Photoshop has a HiDPI setting, but the dev team rightfully tucked it away in an experimental features section.
besides these bugs, the software seems to work as intended, so you guys are almost there, thankfully!
Thanks so much for reporting back.
Regards,
Kevin

Problems with Photoshop cs4 for the Mac

I am having all kinds of problems with Photoshop CS4 for the Mac. When I boot the software it seems to work for a while then, I am unable to open upf a file in Photoshop. I drag a photoshop file over the application icon, the whole screen flickers and nothing happens. I am unable to quit Photoshop as the quit choice is grayed out and command-q will not make it quit. I have to force quit. I can repeat this pattern over and over. What is happening? How do I solve this problem?
--Kenoli

Thanks for the reply. I am using Photoshop 11.0.1. I am using the latest version of Snow Leopard. I have found both Photoshop and Dreamweaver to be pretty buggy for several versions now. My suspicions were that they were really engineered for Windows and never really fully implemented for the Mac. Dreamweaver crashes or hangs on me three or four times a day if I us it all day and does various annoying things like refusing to respond to the delete key after I have used it for a while. I have pretty much stopped using it to some degree for that reason and also because there is other software that does a lot of coding things I do much more directly and simply. Also Dreamweaver always seems to struggle to quit when I tell it to quit (that is, it takes a long time and gets hung up at places before it quits) and once it does quit, I always get a message saying that it has unexpectedly quit (even when I have told it to quit).
The problems with Photoshop (starting with just taking a long time to load) have escalated to the point I described today, which makes it almost unusable. I just reinstalled Snow Leopard to see if there was anything buggy in the system software. I will report if problems go away.
Regarding both the refusal to open image files and the grayed out quit command, made me think something like you, i.e. there was some dialogue box open somewhere. However, I couldn't find anything and I don't use two monitors.
So . . . Adobe just seems to be getting more expensive and more buggy.
Incidentally, why is it still running in Rosetta rather than natively? Adobe now has a real Intel processor to work with.

'Alt + Scroll wheel' zoom function lacking in Muse

Hi all! While Muse is a very intuitive program to get to grips with, one feature that I see lacking is the ability to use the 'Alt +Scroll wheel' zoom command. I use this in Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator and I am a little confused as to why it is not in Muse. I would LOVE to see this implemented. As would many of my freinds and co-workers. Is there a reason it is not available? Arrivederci!

Hi Paul,
I'm not quite sure what Bozhinov was meaning, but what I was saying is that the funcionality of holding the Alt key down whilst using the mouse scrollwheel to zoom would be an extremely useful feature in Muse. The same feature you have in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, for instance.
