Brush preview much smaller in Photoshop CC 2014...how to make bigger?

Hi There,
I noticed in the new version of photoshop CC 2014 that the brush preview size in the brush window is much smaller then before.
Is there anyway of making this bigger? Any help or recommendation would be awesome.
Thanks!

That doesn't help me or people will large displays. I hope it's something that they will correct because that preview really helps me
understand how my brush will apply on the screen and possibly interact with other brushes that I've already done on my artwork.
Do you have any say on how Photoshop makes it's changes and updates?

Photoshop cc 2014 How to make one corner of image rounded

I wish to make an image with one or two rounded corners. Can some one explain how this is done or point me to a tutorial that works.

Now I see. You have to create a .png file with alpha channels enabled to have transparency on the corners.
First of all open you image. After that double-click on the Background layer on your layer window to be able to rename it. That will allow you to delete any part of it. After that make a curve with pan tool in the shape you want your round corner to be. After making the path right button -> make selection from path. After you selection is made hit delete. Save you image for web Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S and choose .PNG as a type of file you want to save.
This is generally.
If you need details feel free to ask.

AdobeAcrobatPro: Downloaded pdf's are much smaller than scanned ones. How to get scanned ones to be fewer px and not lose quality?

I have several accounts which post .pdf's to be downloaded. These are good quality and are small (kb) files.
I find when I scan paper documents, they have huge pixelation... and as I make them smaller, they lose readability.
I've tried to scan at 72px-300px. I've tried to save as .jpg which was then added to a .docx. I've tried to simply save as .pdf all from photoshop.
Is there a way to get the quality of a downloaded .pdf document and it's low pixelation when starting from a paper document which must be scanned?
I have a Canon CanoScan Lide 100. and I'm using Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 as well as Adobe Acrobat Pro.

Generally, if you want best quality you don't start with a scan. It's just a HUGE picture.
But you can try the "text recognition" feature of Acrobat ("OCR"). Be sure to experiment with the settings, they have huge effects on the result.
For OCR to work you need good quality scans of good quality originals using common fonts in an expected way (e.g. a page from a magazine).

Photoshop CC 2014: how to dock the floating Options bar?

hi Photoshoppers,
Anyone know how to dock the Options bar in PS CC 2014? When I open it for the first time, it floats. I tried looking this up online and can't find a solution. I figure it can't be rocket science.
kind regards,
-c

Ok, let's go for a Preferences Reset.
Windows - CTRL-SHIFT-ALT immediately after you double-click the PS icon.
Macintosh - CMD-SHIFT-OPTION immediately after you double-click the PS icon.
Wait for the "Delete Photoshop Settings" dialog, release the keys and click "Yes"

Are there any plugins for Photoshop CC 2014 which would make it possible to switch scrollbars to the left side of menus?

I'm left handed and work on a Cintiq. Whenever I need to choose a brush or scroll up or down layers, or use anything with a scrollbar really, my hand (the one holding the stylus) is blocking the view. This is not a problem that right handed users encounter because everything is conceived specifically for them but I'm quite sure a lot of left handed users working on pen displays are as frustrated by this oversight as I am. It would be really nice if anyone, especially Adobe, could come up with a solution for this issue. Maybe there's already something out there that I'm unaware of?

A Cloud subscription allows you to use either or both platforms. Since you are allowed to have two working installations you could have one of each with the Cloud.

How much space does tiger take up & how to make it take up less

i recently read a post by someone claiming that tiger took 18.5gb on there ibook, and some one replied saying that apple claims you can install tiger in to 3gb.
: is this true?
: if so, how do you "compress" it?
: iff not so, how much space does it take up on avarage?

hi Axl....
I've got tiger in ok, running fine - bought family pack and have done 3 installs without problem, so that's the good news ....
I did a major reshuffle and toss-out of files before I installed - bought 80gb mobile external hard drive - and did install with 5+gb free, so after it had about 3gb free, then all of a sudden I went down to less than 1gb
I've been in a hunt for more files to throw out (a nice find were the old ipod updaters that were eating 500mb) ....
If I want to throw out most of the language files (for instance) ... where are they ? (I did search for danois and found nothing, so .... buried ?)
any other suggestions for things to throw away .... I've pretty much eliminated 90% of all things classic, for instance ....
and - do you have ideas for why space seems to disappear so fast .... I'm not doing anything special, but wham, 2gb flies away to ???
thanks

Use Preview on Device for Android on Mac - how to make it working?

We are using preview on iPad through USB connection on daily basis, but now we need to preview on Android as well.
I've tried setup on following page, but it's not working for me - i have USB Debuging enabled (it's nicely hidden on Jelly Bean 4.2.2 on our Nexus 7), but i can't see device in Folio Builder panel in preview menu (yes, i have Adobe Content viewer as front app)
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS9293e1fb3b977c5c7b1f65ad12f28224932-7f f6.html
any idea, experience?
Thanks
Martin

Neil Enns - Adobe - We have followed these steps exactly.
USB Debugging is enabled... but the device NEVER appears in the dropdown...
We are using the native viewer app, exactly as you have described, and we still cannot get the preview on device to work?? IS there some other process we can use because the instructions in the link you just provided are not working at all.
See my comment above:
"Tried everything suggested in this thread but with no luck.
The mac we are building on is running OSX 10.9.3 and InDesign CC (up to date)
Android tablet is a samsung note, running Android 4.4.2 (developer mode / USB debugging enabled)"

I enlarge text size and it goes back to small when I change page,how doI make it permanent?

You can use one of these extensions to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages:

In CC214 PS Why has adobe removed the "print Size Button" And why have they made the Brush preview window so small you can't see the effects to accurately adjust them?

In CC214 PS Why has adobe removed the "print Size Button" And why have they made the Brush preview window so small you can't see the effects to accurately adjust them?
These two things need to be remedied in their upgrades because It's become such a bother I've had to revert to older versions of PS.

Yea, and it's a pain to get to. What was the rational for removing the print size button? With the magnifying glass tool selected in older versions of Photoshop you would get a button that says "print size" right next to Actual pixels, Fit Screen, Fill Screen. Now I have to go out of my way and dig for it if I want to see the print size. Of all the buttons you could have taken away, why not fill screen? I never use that.
Besides the point I just downloaded the Oct Upgrade for PS and surprise! Nothing has changed and these are two big black eyes on newer versions of Photoshop. The Brush preview window is unchanged in CC but in CC2014 it's basically worthless. If you apply a texture to a brush you can't properly see the scale of the texture, the spacing, scatter, etc...

Too much RAM consumption in Photoshop CC 2014.

Hi people,
Since the update to Photoshop CC 2014 I'm having serious problems with the amount of RAM used by Photoshop.
When opening a file (only) 245 MB big, Photoshop uses around 3.5 GB of RAM. As a result my PC is extremely slow.
This was never the case in previous versions. Files made in previous versions are now hard to work on in the CC 2014 version.
Some bigger files are now useless. It takes forever to open them and impossible to work on because of this RAM issue.
I can not open other apps or even browsers at the same time anymore, because Photoshop consumes too much RAM.
Is it normal Photoshop uses 3.5 GB RAM while the file is that small?
When comparing with other Adobe (CC 2014) software only Photoshop uses that amount of RAM.
If you look here http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/system-requirements.html#Photoshop CC 2014 system requirements and language versions
you can see the minimum requirements of RAM:
Photoshop CS5:            1GB
Photoshop CS6:            1GB
Photoshop CC:             1GB
Photoshop CC 2014:     2GB (8 GB recommended)
OK, new versions need more RAM, I understand. But in my case it seems like 6 GB is not enough.
And I have the feeling even 8 GB won't be enough too.
Can someone please tell me if there's a problem with Photoshop CC 2014, will this be solved?
Or is this normal behaviour, and should I buy more RAM?
Buying more RAM is of course the easiest answer to solve this.
But don't you think the jump from 1 GB to (minimum) 8 GB RAM is very big?
And like I said, I don't think 8 GB will cover it too. Then how much will be enough?
Thnx in advance!
I have:
OS:                                Windows 7 Pro
Processor:                      Intel Xeon CPU W3550 @ 3.07 GHz 3.06 GHz
System Type:                 64 Bit PC
RAM:                             6 GB RAM
Available Disk Space:     283 GB
Kind regards,
Lester.

Ok, thnx for the reply!
I bought more RAM.

After installation of latest Bridge and Photoshop version (2014.2.2) *.CR2 files will not be displayed correctly, neither in preview nor in Camera Raw dialog.

After installation of latest Bridge and Photoshop version (2014.2.2) *.CR2 files will not be displayed correctly anymore, neither in preview nor in Camera Raw dialogue.
Some pictures have white squares with blue and red diagonal stripes that cover almost the complete picture.
When opening those files I have the same problem in Camera Raw dailogue and even in Photoshop eventually.
I tried to open the same same pictures on another computer with the same version of Bridge and Photoshop but the problem remains the same.
It seems like the files itselves are still ok, because if you open an explorer window the previews of the pictures are all ok. And the pictures' sizes remain the same.
I tried to clear the cache in both programs but it didn't help.
Has anyone an idea????

First see if a reboot of your PC helps. If not,
Resets may be in order:
Photoshop: Press and hold Control - Shift - Alt immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop. If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be VERY quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your established preferences, which will lead to them all being set to defaults.
Bridge: Start Adobe Bridge and immediately press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS) until the Reset Settings dialog box appears. Select all three options--Reset Preferences, Reset Standard Workspaces, and Purge Entire Thumbnail Cache--and then click OK.
Outdated graphics drivers can also cause display problems. Go to your GPU maker's website and be sure you have the latest drivers for your card model.

Since I ipdated photoshop CC 2014, my layers and brush panels (and others) will not stay open. AS soon as I open them, they close. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Trying to open my layers or brush panels in photoshop Cc 2014 and they won't stay open. They close as soon as they open. This started immediately following the latest update that I ran today.

Try resetting the PS preferences and check if it's an issue with corrupt preferences : http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776
Try to open PS in Plugin Disabled mode and check the same. For that Press Shift+PS icon and hit Yes.

Step backward hotkey not working while using brush tool? - Photoshop CC 2014

Hi,
I'm using Photoshop CC 2014 in Mavericks. I've tried using the step backward hotkey (command+option+z) and it seems to work fine. Then I use the brush tool and it stops working until I switch to another tool. I'm a digital artist, so I move very quickly while painting, and switching out of the brush tool to step backward on something slows me down terribly. I'll switch and the hotkey works as intended. I've tried changing it to a different set of keys (for example command+z) with the same results. Is this a bug or a feature?

Usually it turns out for tablets that aren't mainstream that they just haven't updated their drivers to work with photoshop cc.
For example, most people don't have problems with wacom tablets in photoshop cc.
One other thing that could possibly be the cause besides the tablet driver is your graphics card driver.
If in photoshop cc you go to Edit>Preferences>Performance and turn off Use Graphics Processor and then restart photoshop cc, does that make a difference?
If it does then perhaps your graphics card driver needs to be updated from the maker of the card.
(not through windows updates)

The drop down menus in Photoshop CC 2014 are too small to read without using the magnifier. They are OK in Photoshop CC. I have been unable to find anyplace to adjust the font size. I have Windows 7 Pro. Looking at the Photoshop version history, it looks like this problem comes and goes as Photoshop is updated. It should be an easy fix.

Try the Photoshop CC 2014 Preference experimental section 2X UI option
