CS4 zoom issues

I am having issues with the zoom feature in cs4. When I zoom into an image to work on details the image goes soft or fuzzy. My current file is 9x12 inches at 300 ppi it is fuzzy at 50% and impossible to see clearly. I'm not zooming in too far, it happens at 50% and other percentages. This is new to me and I am finding hard to work at a percentage that is comfortable. Is there a setting that controls the fuzziness of the monitor?
thanks,
Dan

Hi there
Are you working with Adobe Captivate? Or are you working with CS4 (Creative Suite 4)? If it's CS4, you need to post your issue in the appropriate forum (In-Design, PhotoShop, Etc.)

Dreamweaver CS4 strange issues happening

Suddenly when I do a find and replace and I do a carriage return in the replace portion of the find/replace window to make my edit go to an extra line, the carriage return occurs behind it on the page I'm editing. It doesn't add a <p> tag in the document, just kind of highlights what I have in the find window and each time I hit Enter the next instance of the what I'm trying to find gets highlighted.
Also, when I try to add <strong> tags to my document this appears on the page instead <strong>
What the hell?
I tried recreating my configuration folder (I'm on Windows Vista) but it still happens.
Any ideas??

Re :Re: Dreamweaver CS4 having issues after installing PS CS6 Beta
Just a thought ...
This may help!
Uninstall the Beta Version of Photoshop CS6 now and then restart your computer and see if that works.
Open the CS4 programs and see if that fixed the problem and it is all working as it should again.
It is worth a try!
All the best.

Dreamweaver CS4 having issues after installing PS CS6 Beta

Hi All,
I'm having issues with Dreamweaver CS4 after installing Photoshop CS6 Beta. I'm getting the follwing erros when trying to open any html file (see attached image).
Once I click OK, the file will open, also now; any copy and paste commands will not work. Anyone else experiencing any problems with other apps after installing this beta version?
Any help and feedback is much appreciated, thanks!

Cs4 Zoom Resize...and a litte rant...and then a plea.

Hey Adobe, I've been a Photoshop user for over a decade and, for as long as I can remember, the two zoom resize options (the one attached to the zoom tool option bar and the one in the preferences menu) have allowed me to set the window resize option for my keyboard zoom and my zoom tool independently. This was tremendously useful for me since most of the time I don't want to resize my window and the keyboard shortcut would zoom in and out of my image in a useful and predictable manner. Having the second option was great because it allowed me to fit my image to a smaller or larger window with a single click of the zoom tool.
I was reading the online help for the the zoom resize function and, under the comments, another user had the same concern that, though there are STILL two options, they no longer were independent. Much to my disappointment an adobe representative (somewhat pompasly) remarked that the zoom functionality was flawed previously and that it's current inception, with two options that do the same thing and are thus redundant, it is the more consistent (implying correct) manner in which the functionality ought to behave. I strongly contest that point of view and feel that I, as an expert user, have been undermined in favor of a arbitrarily dumbed down solution that adds several seconds to operations that I perform perhaps hundreds of times daily.
This brings me to a related but separate point. The update of the user interface from CS3 to CS4, with the change to the zoom functionally being at the heart of the issue, is inferior to previous versions. There are many new issues a few of which I will list for your benefit:
A liberal waste of my screen real estate in the palettes and menus
Annoying and unpredictable tab behavior (whcih still seem to crop up even though I have both options disabled)
Minimized windows that cannot be moved
A mind bogglingly poor lay out of the adjustment layer palettes (massive, unscalable, with textless icons and tiny handles on razor thin color bars)
'Full screen with menu" mode that now covers up my windows task bar (really, Adobe how dare you?)
Utterly mystifying hit areas of color palette sliders which will select and move the wrong slider if I don't click precisely on the intended one
Poor performance under openGL (I have a Nvidia 8800 which is a middle-high end card).
By my own, totally subjective account, It is fundamentally worse... for me.
Now I'm sure there are many users who are happy with the updates you have made and I applaud you for catering to your base, but why in God's name would you remove and redisgn functionality without offering the option of employing the previous inception. It is a slap in the face, Adobe. So I emplore you as a loyal coustomer, as a user who depends on your software for my livelyhood and as a design professional who interacts with your product more than my family...Please give me more control over the UI of your software. Please don't remove change functionallty. It frustrates me and wastes hundreds of hours of my time over the course of a year. Let me have two window resize options!

This is a user to user forum. Adobe does not read this. But I, at least, agree with some of what you posted. There is a feedback form that I have attached that will get your concerns to the right people. Hope this helps.

Weird CS4 hanging issue in windows Vista when opening files with PS already loaded

I just installed the demo. I have a dual monitor setup running Windows Vista Ultimate x64 with 8GB ram ...
It appears I have both the 32bit and 64bit versions of PS CS4 installed. If I open either of these apps, then choose say a jpg on my desktop, right-click in windows, choose, 'open with' and select 'Adobe Photoshop CS4', then PS hangs - period. After a while, clicking the title bar of the app (which is a kind of menu bar in this version) causes it to return to the old look windows title bar where it shows my image name and the zoom etc, but with the usual (Not Responding) at the end of the title bar text!
It does this no matter which version (32 or 64bit) is presently loaded. It also does it if I have CS4 loaded and I select 'Edit with Photoshop' in Lightroom 2.1 (my main app which is configured to output files in 16bit PSD format).
Another weird quirk I found in CS4 - if I select 'Help', 'System Info' it displays the info on my second monitor, not my first! I figure this by the screen res shown as my second monitor (monitor 3 in Vista) is only running 1280x1024. Not sure if this has an effect on which monitor profile is used by PS - I would hope not as my 1st monitor is my calibrated one!
Thanks, Paul

Freeagent - I just did some more testing and figured the issue I think! I had selected 'Enable OpenGL Drawing' in Performance preferences and even though I have the very latest nVidia driver (downloaded today) this still causes this issue!
One issue I have noticed though since figuring how to fix this - I have 2 monitors and on the left one I have the panels un-docked and laid out neatly on the desktop. I then have the main PS window with it's height shrunk as slim as possible and filling the top width of my 2nd monitor. In CS3 when I open an image, it generally remembers where the last one opened and uses the same place - this includes if I had the image in its own window on my main monitor. In CS4, it seems to want to open them in tabbed dialogs within the PS main window and for some reason they are on minimal magnification, so I need to drag the tab over to my main monitor every time and zoom in to get a decent size displayed.
Is there anywhere to configure where you want it to open images?
Thanks, Paul

Adobe premiere pro CS4 quality issues

Hi there,
i've been struggling with this issue for a while,.
i hope that someone here can help me out!
I am making a promoting movie for a dance school here,
but as i am editing i have to use automatic quality because when i set the preview on high it will stutter,
that's not even the problem because thats only a preview
but when i try to export it,
it makes the quality really bad,
in previeuw i can read whats on the screen
and now there are A LOT more pixels, making the text unreadable,...
this is really freaking me out
i've attatched a file of a screenshot so you guys can see what i'm talking about.^^
i've been trying exporting all kinds of ext like avi,mpg,HD,H.265 etc etc..
Please help me 0_o

To add to Eddie's recs. I suggest doing ALL of the scaling/re-sizing outside of the NLE. I've found that the algorithms used in Photoshop are superior to those in Premiere (through CS3 - do not know if CS4 improved these). The quality difference should be noticable on critical viewing. Re-sizing BEFORE Importing, also reduces the workload on the NLE. Just a few Acitons in PS, and you can batch re-size your entire load of stills.
I take Eddie's advice for the vast majority of my still images, and if I need to pan on a zoomed out image, will re-size that/those up to exactly what I need, above the frame resolution/size. The majority do go with exactly what the Project Presets are.
Good luck,
Hunt

Premiere Pro CS4: Output Issue - codec and image size

I am having an issue when outputing a video file from Prem Pro to Media Encoder. The dimensions of the input video are the usual 720x576. The output I need is 390x390 to match my project. By choosing the Sorenson 3 video codec I am able to adjust the size from 720x576 to 390x390. However, it also applies black bars to the top and bottom of the image. I don't want this. If I choose the DV PAL video codec the black bars are removed in the output but I do not have control over the image size.
In Prem Pro 1.5 the media encoder allowed for this and I was able to create a cropped video image (390x390) without black bars. By selecting the zoom option the image was fitted into the window size. There is no zoom option in CS4 in Media Encoder. This is very frustrating!
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks, Neil

This is odd indeed, and I cannot recall having read of such. The tips were just the general things that one normally checks out, when there are audio issues, so nothing specific to this behavior.
Now, as a test, you might want to try ASIO4ALL, linked in the article above. Usually, it will get audio, where the Realtek, or Creative driver will not. Again, this is as a test, just to see if by-passing the Realtek driver will help. Do not forget to set the Audio Hardware ASIO to ASIO4ALL in Input and Output. Then test. If it has zero affect, then just uninstall it, and change the setting back.
Good luck, and wish I had more to help,
Hunt
PS - other than mechanical/electrical things like the audio chip heating up and a connection failing, I just cannot think of something that would cause this behavior. Maybe download and run SpeedFan, a great little free utility, and monitor the temps for all components with sensors.

IMac 27" -Photoshop CS3/CS4 redraw issues- anyone else?

Hello Forum,
I am a pro photographer.
I do have the new 27", 3.06Gh, with 10.6.2.1
When I start up CS3 or CS4, open a picture at 100%,
and scroll within it, the borders show the "chess" pattern, and I have redraw issues.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You

OK, sorry I didn´t follow this thread the last weeks.
This has to change now
I´m on 10.4.3.
It didn´t bring ANY improvement.
I have all updates installed, all firmware upgrades.
My videocard is the Radeon HD 4670.
Screen redraw is an absolute pain.
For example, if I have a lasso istalled, or work on a layer I see no refresh, or lagged, sometimes the picture reverts to a previous state, but only in displaying the data.Once I zoom in, I can force a correct display.

Photoshop CS4 Extended, issues with resolution and font sizes on Mac

I have Photoshop CS4 Extended, which worked fine on my old 15 inch Macbook Pro, I think it was 2011 and had high definition display.
I now have a new 15 inch 'late 2013' Macbook Pro with retina display (2880 x 1800), and OS 10.9.4
I have 2 problems:
1) Using photoshop now, the resolution is a lot worse than with my old computer, even though my screen is higher resolution.
For example, the images themselves are worse resolution on my display, far less crisp and more pixelated than any of my other programs. And even the windows such as 'save as...' screens are terribly pixelated also. Is there a way to fix this?
2) When using the type tool, I cannot find how to change the size of the font. There used to be numbers which I could change, and also select the font type, both on the top menu bar always visible. Now there is not anymore. What there is there at the top, is what looks to be a bar on top of another bar. The top layer bar is on the left and reaches about one third of the way across the top, and I can drag it by its corner so it can extend more, but not less. It looks like there are things behind it which I cannot see, because it is over the top of them. Perhaps the text size and font options are stuck behind that. What can I do?
Many thanks!
Justin

Hi JJMack, you said "Seems like you want a low resolution display hook and external display to it." I do not know what that means. I did a google search for "low resolution display hook" and it came up with zero results. Also I do not have an external display, only my laptop.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this issue? I would greatly appreciate any solution.
Thank you!

IOS Wallpaper Scale/Zoom Issue Returns in iOS 7.1

Is anyone experiencing the photo zoom/scale for wallpaper issue again where they cannot fit scale down the photo subjects to fit into the iPad's frame?
This used to be fixed by turning off the Parallax effect via Settings > General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion ON
However, it seems like Apple has broken it again.
Can anyone else confirm this? I just tried changing wallpaper on iOS 7.1 and cannot get the photo to fit as if I was looking at it from the Photos App.

Nope, it's broken for me. Images with resolutions much larger than the iPads native resolution won't scale down. You can easily scale up, just not down. It's very aggravating that this remains an issue in 7.1
And, I'm sick of hearing people say it's working when it doesn't. It's not just my device. I've confirmed it on numerous devices new and old, iPhone and iPad. Not being able to scale an image down when you could prior to iOS7 is not "better". Losing capability is not "better".

Zoom issues in IOS 8

I am having the same issue with the zoom, once I triple tap to activate zoom works fine for a bit then the whole OS seems to lock up, at which point I have to restart the iPad and then triple to to turn zoom off, by the way this happens on both the iPad and iPhone, this issues really needs to be fixed.
Now with the other issues of the zoom going from full screen back into windows mode, I think I found a work around. I Noticed this issue several months back I would go into settings and change it to full screen mode and at some point it would go back into window mode, when I checked in setting it was still set to full screen so I would uncheck it then recheck it want back into full screen mode for a bit and would go the same. Then I noticed it only happened when the keyboard was called it would window the screen and keep the keyboard at normal size when I finished with the keyboard zoom stayed in window mode, this in my opinion is a bug so this is how I fixed this issue for anyone who is having the problem.
1 Go to settings-General
2 Go to accessibility
3 Go to Zoom
4 turn on Follow Focus
5 Turn on Zoom Keyboard
This should take care of that issue, I do not like the keyboard being on zoom but that is the only way for now to keep zoom in full screen. Once I did this it has never gone into Window Mode again. What I do is zoom when I want to see something and triple tap out of zoom to use the keyboard.
This is my issue with Apple again IOS 8 seems half baked, I expect bugs in any OS that is the nature of the beast, but issues like lockups and things going in and out of modes seem to be nothing more than laziness on Apple's part.

Photoshop CS4 setup issues..

I have windows Vista 32 bit, I doubled clicked on the startup, run as admin, and........nothing happens. What's going on?

Unlock:
Right click on the .exe file or Icon that was down loaded. On the general tab, right below the advance button, sometimes the download will have a statement that the downloaded software was downloaded from another computer (something like that) and there is a button to click to unlock it. Click the button then click apply. Sometimes it is there and sometimes it is not. Just depends on the download.
To shut off windows defender:
Go to control panel, control panel home view. Click on Security. Look for windows defender in the right pane and click on that. On the windows defender window look for tools (next to the question mark). Click on tools. Click on Options. Uncheck Auto scan my computer. Then uncheck Use real time protection. You can turn on defender back on with the alert icon in the tray next to your clock. I have had no issues using CS4 with defender on.
Windows installer to auto:
Easy way is to go to the search pane and type in services. Click on services and click on continue when the window pops up. On the services window go down the list and look for Windows Installer. Under the startup type it should read manual. Right click on manual the look for properties then click on properties. Under the general tab, about mid section, look for startup type. Click on the down arrow and select automatic, then click apply. Look for service status and click on start. When I was done installing CS4 I went back and reverted back to manual.

Photoshop CS4 Install Issue (corrupt file)

As someone else below had this problem, and apparently solved it, I'm reposting here because I haven't solved it, and the issue doesn't seem to be going away like it did for them.
I purchased the CS4 PS upgrade from Adobe's site. After downloading it (using the latest non-beta firefox) I double click the EXE file (of the two it downloads) and get an error stating "A problem occured when extracting some files. Check available space and write privledges"
My drive has over 300gb free space, and I'm running as admin.
I have tried disabling UAC and turning off my AV software to no avail, re-installing and redownloading both with no UAC/AV going. The gentleman (kfallsbob) that had this problem solved it by repeatedly downloading the software until he got a good copy. After this revelation was made, I downloaded the trial version of the latest winzip to get to the .Z7 file and see if it was valid. It extracts part way and gives a data error, so it appears the file is corrupted or becomes corrupted during the DL process.
I have downloaded this 7 times so far. I'm reaching the limit of my patience.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I submitted a request for help through the website, but apparently the case has dissapeared. I will try calling when I get home, but I often work late.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks.
System: Intel E6700 running vista ultimate 64 with 8gb ram

Looked through that, looks like it's for non Akamai (the DL manager) downloads since those bypass the whole internet cache and whatnot. I tried digging up the FTP site, but looks like they host only their free apps there (go figure...) I'm hoping that they have some alternate DL method I can get to, but still haven't heard from them. Unfortunately phone support is only around until 5pm pacific time and strangely enough, I work until 5pm pacific time... I would love to see a company that has people around later than normal work hours for support!
WHEEEEE!
Edit:
Given that the regular install process and winzip both choke at about 4% through the extraction process, I'm going to call that sufficient as far as unzipping the compressed file goes.

Photoshop CS4 performance issue

HI
we use App-V for almost all of our applications and we work with a local cache mode
as far as I know - the performance of a local application and the virtual application should be the same even if the package is big. a great example is Office 2010 App-V package which works the same as a local installation
We saw that there are some applications that run very slow comparing to a local installation on the same hardware
specifically - Adobe PhotoShop CS4 is a good example. when we load a 10MB picture and try to make a simple task like mark a selection - it takes forever for the application to response!
the weirdest think is that we tried to sequence the application both in App-V 4.6 SP3 and App-V 5.0 SP2 we got the same results. we tried the default things as reset the client's cache or allowing local interaction, com objects... etc.
I really have no idea what else we can do. as I wrote, larger applications work in our environment just fine, but there are some that stuck us. another application that works slower is NIS. I'm not sure if the performance issue is always from
the same reason but I'm trying to figure out what can we do to improve it
would love to get some ideas

Hello,
Since Microsoft made this claim (as stated by you), my recommendation to improve your situation still stands;
Open a ticket with Microsoft to understand the topic. My assumption would be that you could name the engineer who visited you a few years ago, and revisit the discussion you had with him and Microsoft directly.
(the statement of course goes against any independt benchmarking - such as
Project VRC,
acknowledged facts by the Community and more..)
As stated already; If you have tested all that you described, I can't offer anymore suggestions apart from the above.

CS4 Installation Issues

Hi,
I'm having a rather difficult time re-installing my Adobe CS4. I had it installed on windows 7 before, but recently crashed it. When I went to reinstall Adobe it comes up with "Installation Error" on the first disk and tells me all the programs have failed to install. An error number is not given. I downloaded the Adobe Support Advisor and it says there is no issue? I then contacted customer support via telephone and they reccomended that I go onto my admin account, run a CS4 Cleaner Utility then try installing again. I have tried this, but I still get the same error message.
I am running Windows7 Home Premium 64bit.
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5750 @ 2.00GHz
4GB Ram
I've no idea how to fix this. Has anyone ran into a similar issue and is there any way to resolve it?
Help much appreciated,
Chelsea

I was on the phone with customer service again today and copied the files to my desktop, yet it still
won't install. Looking into the matter more I found the two errors were error numbers 1603 and 1935. I looked through the forums and googled around a bit, but the fixes still aren't working.
I've booted off the disks before which is why it's so puzzeling to me now.
