CS4 standard screen mode

I have recently upgraded from CS3 to CS4 and have a slight problem with standard screen mode.
When I open an image in standard screen mode the image does not fill the screen and the amount of screen the image fills depends on the percentage magnification.
I have to drag the image with the cursor to fill the screen.
When I open a new image the same thing happens, it reverts back to partially filling the screen.
This only occurs in standard screen mode, the other two modes seem to be ok.
I have a mac pro, os 10.5.5, 8gb ram
.Any advice would be appreciated.

You might get an answer here. But note that this is the Photoshop *Windows* Forum. There is an Adobe Photoshop Mac forum as well and those folks will probably have more insight into Mac issues.

  • CS4 Full Screen Mode

    In CS4 Full Screen Mode adjustments to layers /filters etc. can cause odd looking grayed out file name at top of window. how to avoid?

    I turned off a whole load of features in my nVidia control panel and the problem I had with top menus after using full screen mode magically disappeared. I don't know which one did the trick and I'm not sure whether I can be bothered to find out. Solutions to CS4 problems just get more and more exotic.
    On the whole, despite new video drivers, new tablet drivers, XPPro SP3 upgrade, latest DirectX and removal of 3rd party plugins I still find CS4 clunky and slow in comparison to CS3. Up until LR2 (another disaster on my machine but I'm not alone) and CS4 I had always praised Adobe for producing exceptionally stable, bug free software out of the box. These two releases are now just about the worst software releases I have ever encountered. We just shouldn't have to muck about with all these tortuous or drastic ( clean installs of the operating system ) experiments just to get these relatively undemanding applications to work.

  • CS5 - Standard Screen Mode - Hand Tool don't move the document

    Hi all
    In PS CS5 -> Standard Screen Mode -> Hand Tool don't move the document unless you zoom the document so it became bigger than the working area!
    Is it possible to use the hand tool (move the document arround) while the document is smaller than the working area?
    Thanks

    Why not just shrink the window border and move the Window around to where you want it, as has been described above several times?
    because that will make the working area much smaller. You'll be able to move the Window around, but if you zoom in, you will lose working area and you'll have to use the scrolls.
    Maybe it would help to describe WHY you want to move the image within the window/tab?
    There are many reasons for that and I don't have the time to describe all of them right now. I'll give you just one: if you paste an object that is bigger than the document size and you want to transform the object (scale down for example) - you press Ctrl+T and the top, bottom and middle right points are no visible (they are outside the area). Then you have 2 options if you want to scale down:
    1) scale the image with the left side point, and then move the image back to the document
    2) zoom in the document -> so it became bigger than the working area -> so you can move it with the Hand tool (spacebar) -> so you can see the right points -> so you can transform the object -> and then you zoom out again
    both ways are just very slow
    if you can move the document inside the working area (inside the window) then you can perform the task much quicker:
    move it with the Hand tool (spacebar) -> grab some of the right point and transform as simple as that. And you still can see all of your document, and you can still reach the right points
    this is just one example, I can tell you more

  • Picture blocked in photoshop window for no reason standard screen mode

    Picture is blocked in photoshop window for no reason [standard screen mode]..WHY?!!

    Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?

  • Cs4 full screen mode w/ menu bar no longer can scroll picture off edges

    In earlier versions' full screen mode with menu bar, if I zoom into a photo I can scroll the edge of the photo away from the windows edge, making it easier to select and work on the corners of the photo.
    In cs4, I can't get that to work. Any ideas?

    Works for me... What graphics card? Screen resolution? General computer info?

  • How do you set up a custom color for the standard screen mode

    This new colour scheme has not enough contrast for it to be readable, so I was pleased to find custom screen mode. However, there seems to be no way of setting up a custom color for this. In addition, the icons are so small they are unreadable. Is there any way of making them bigger. I have a 20" and a 22" monitor working together, but they are still not clear enough to use.

    Hi there
    Are you referring to the tool icons in Photoshop CS6? There are a few options you can change to help make the interface more readable, but unfortunately, there is not an option to enlarge the tool icons.
    It sounds like you may have discovered this already, but if you go to Photoshop > Preferences > Interface, you can change the color of the Photoshop CS6 interface.
    You can also enlarge the UI text size in this same window, in the Text preferences box.
    You can also make the size of your layers thumbnails larger. You can do this by clicking on the small menu in the upper right hand corner of the Layers Panel and selecting Panel Options.
    Here you can change the size of the layers thumbnails.
    I hope this helps you out a bit!

  • How do you keep safari in standard screen mode and avoid "full screen"

    How do I keep the screen in Safari from converting from "standard screen" to "full screen"?  I know how to switch back and forth between the screens on "View" "Exit Full Screen."  However, I don't want to work in "full screen" and Safari automatically opens up in "full screen".  How do I keep this from happening?
    Thanks,

    Did you look at http://www.apple.com/support/safari which can be useful, and there is a link to Safari Community which is where you will find common threads and people that focus on Safari.

  • Panning in standard screen mode

    This is currently impossible, no?
    Any chance we could have it as a feature?
    Painter allows this and it's very helpful I always found.
    Thanks
    Yan

    I appreciate that you don't get it but as an example, one may have a number of panels open on the right and simply want to quickly shift the actual image over to the left.
    I'm also a digital art enthusiast and when painting/drawing with a wacom tablet, I'd often times like to be able to throw, say, the bottom right of the image into the middle of the screen.
    For the record I'm a very long time user of photoshop so I know all about the various screen modes etc. already.
    I'll keep an eye out for an updated version of the overscroll plug-in.

  • Can only change Workspace when in Standard Screen Mode

    For whatever reason Photoshop will not let me change workspaces (from top pane or from the menu bar) if I am in Full Screen with Menu Bar mode. Is there a reason for this? Am I the only one experience this?

    Haha, well thanks for the response I guess haha. I'm sure its not top priority or anything but is it a "serious problem" that you guys are working to fix or is this just something I'll have to live with? Thanks again.

  • How to get default full screen mode in CS4

    When opening a file from Bridge, it opens in Photoshop in Standard Screen Mode. How do I get it to default open in Full Screen Mode? CS3 does that, but the CS4 default to Standard Screen requires an annoying extra step for me for each image to change to Full Screen Mode. I've tried defining a new workspace while in Full Screen Mode, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

    >It's in the way of the desktop.
    If you used exposé, there would be no problem.
    >Like now: I'm browsing a clip art library in Safari. Find the photo. Drag to DT. Drag to dock and open in PS. How would I accomplish that with an application frame?
    To start with, you could drag the image straight into your dock icon to open, no need to access the desktop, but besides that...
    If it works anything like in windows, when you switch to safari, with your browser window floating on top of photoshop, you simply drag the image out of safari anywhere on to the grey frame. It's even easier than having to go down to your dock to target the photoshop icon. If you're using safari full-screen, click and drag the image to an exposé hot corner set to applications, then simply drag it on top of the photoshop frame. (at least I hope the frame will make photoshop show up in exposé now. As it is in CS3, without an app frame, you can't access photoshop with exposé unless there's already a document open. With a frame enabled, I'm assuming that photoshop will now show up in exposé, with or without a document already open. I don't have CS4 to verify, so I'm making an assumption that it will work the same as it did in windows.)

  • Any way to get Illustrator CS5 to display full screen mode like Photoshop?

    Is there any way to get Illustrator's screen modes to behave like Photoshop's screen modes?
    One of the things I like most about Photoshop is the way it toggles from standard screen mode to "full screen with menu bar" to just "full screen".
    For example, in Photoshop's standard mode, the window is no bigger than the size of the canvas. Why can't Illustrator do that?
    And, is there anyway to get Illustrator CS5 to display the full screen mode where the background outside the artboard or canvas is black instead of white. Working in Illustrator for long hours, it would much easier on my eyes if the surrounding background could be black like in Photoshop.
    Thanks very much in advance for any help,
    - Nick

    At the bottom of the Tool bar is a toggle button (F) which will change the Screen Mode.

  • CS6 Screen mode options

    Hey,
    I'm trying to find an option (if there is one) to change the Standard Screen Mode background to transparent like in Photoshop CS5 and earlier.
    I do like working in full screen mode with a dark grey background but miss being able to flick back to transparent to see all my files and the desktop.
    Can anyone help? I'm using a Mac if that helps.

    CS6 opens now by default in "Application Frame". You can go Windows>Application Frame and uncheck to go back to previous. You can still use the F key to cycle through the three Screen Mode views.

  • Screen Mode Selection

    In PS CS6, Mac OS 10.7.5, I can only select the "standard" screen mode. (View, Screen Mode, -select).  The other two options are "greyed out". Why?

    I don't have recent mac, but on a windows system with photoshop cs6 the documents don't have to be tabbed to get all the screen modes.
    Maybe someone could verify how it's supposed to work in photoshop cs6 on a mac os x system?
    Does it matter whether you have the the application frame on or off?
    (Window>Application Frame)

  • FM9: Exiting Full Screen Mode?

    How can you exit full screen mode in FM9? the only way I could do it was by closing all of my files, quiting FM, and relaunching FM.
    There seems to be no shortcut key associated with bringing the program out of full-screen mode. If you can see the menu bar, you can't select Standard Screen Mode.
    BTW: There is no documentation of Full Screen in the FM 9 User's Guide.

    Jang_fishbone wrote:
    Thanks for the tips. Right-clicking is a nice one, since it depends where you click and there is no intuitive guidance on that. I do not think that this can be viewed as purely a documentation issue. It is a design issue: if there is an option to change screen modes, it should be included in the View menu, just like it was done in Photoshop. That is the obvious location where you would go look for it. And even in Full Screen Mode, using the Alt key brings up the menus, so there is an easy escape without having to consult the help files or forums to found out hidden tricks. As technical authors, we should not accept the blame when it is shoved on our plates by user interface designers who obviously made a mistake here. Yes, it should also have been included in the documentation but that is not the only action that should be taken.
    Another option of course is to take the feature out of FrameMaker altogether. Why would I want to enter Full Screen Mode in an editor, anyway? I know I did, as I was checking out features that I had not seen before. But what's the point of this feature for this program ?
    I agree that it's not only a doc bug, but an UI design bug. Consider filing a report to help improve the next release.
    If you're only using FM as a text editor, you're losing out on its visual layout abilities.
    Full-screen viewing enlarges the useful work area. Users who are comfortable working with keystroke shortcuts may prefer both the increased space, and decreased clutter.
    Some space-pinching practices that can benefit from more space include viewing a document's two-up page spreads, and tiling multiple documents. For example, using a narrowed TOC, index, or generated list of cross-references adjacent to a wider document page, to navigate through documents, "hyper-clicking" (Ctrl+Alt+Click) in the generated document and moving the insertion point to the linked destination, while not losing sight of the jumping-off-point.
