CS5: Image appears only at 25% and 100% magnification

Been running PS CS5 successfully for a couple of years, then all of a sudden I can't work at magnifications other than 25% and Actual Pixels. The image disappears and I only see the checkerboard. There was a Windows update I ran on April 10 that included an update to the graphics card, which I thought might have been the culprit, so I uninstalled it. That didn't fix the problem, so I updated it again. I couldn't see anything else in those updates that should affect Photoshop.
Here is what I've tried so far:
I updated my graphics driver (NVidia GeForce),
Trashed Adobe Photoshop CS5 Prefs.psp (which crashed PS completely when I reopened it...luckily I kept the old prefs file on my desktop and dragged it back in),
Made sure Photoshop was up-to-date.
Any ideas what to try next?
Thanks!
Photoshop CS5 (v.12.0.4 32 bit)
Windows 7 Home Premium (v.6.1 Build 7601: Service Pack 1)
AMD Phenom II X4 840 Processor 3.20 GHz

Hi Chris,
I KNEW it had something to do with the graphics card. I turned off GL drawing in the preferences, and it works perfectly now. Thanks for your help.

    How can I make an image appear partially in front and partially behind another layer in Adobe Illustrator?

    Put the image behind the layer (at the back of it or on a layer below). With it still selected, Copy.
    Now Paste in Front (Ctrl+F). Depending on your Paste Remembers Layers setting, you may have to bring the newly pasted copy to the front, or to the upper layer.
    Draw a shape over the image to define the portion of it you want to appear "in front."
    With the shape and the image selected, clip the image using the shape. (Object > Clipping Mask > Make)

  • How do I make a textured image appear only when the button is selected?

    I am trying to create a DVD menu that has a textured image (bulletholes) appear only when a button highlighted (ie, about to be selected).
    The only think I can work out is how to make the button appear as a sub-picture that has a solid colour appear on top of it when selected.
    In summary, here is what i am trying to achieve:
    1- there are 5 DVD menu items
    2 - the user can select any of those items
    3- as they move between each item, I want a I want a multi-coloured (textured) image to appear.
    I can not work this out.
    Any advice greatly appreciated.
    Richard.

    Thanks for this.  This is most surprising to hear!
    I have been using DVD Studio Pro for years and we have been able to do add textured or multicoloured buttons.
    Am I correct in understanding that in Encore, if a menu has 6 options, I need to create 6 different menus and import them all and use the auto activate state to make this work?
    Is there a workaround for making this work on a computer?

  • All my images appear as iphoto original, and can't use plug-ins to work on them?

    Hi, I had to change my HD, and then intalled mountain lion and the recent aperture version, copied my aperture library from a external back up. But now I want to edit some images using Topaz and can't because all my images appear as "iphoto originals"
    Does anyone know how to work around it?
    I haven't even used iphoto on ages!! and always import directly to aperture
    Thanks

    If you can find a used one. That is the only dual card Apple was selling at the time. There a other choices now, from adding a PCI card, to replacing your current card with a dual. I'm not sure of the AGP speed of your machine, so can't recommend a specific card, but when you do buy one, insist on a money back guarantee that it will work with your machine. Some cards don't work with all the machines the claim to be compatible with.

  • Image appears different in Library and Develop modes?

    I have an image that appears different depending on whether it is in the Library Module or the Develop Module. Only this one image does this. The develop module version is the one I want to work on in Photoshop. However, when I click on "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS3" the resulting tiff that opens in PS has an appearance that matches that of the Library module version of the image. It makes no difference whether I click on "Edit in PS CS3" from the Library or Develop module, the tiff always matches the Library Module version of the raw file.
    Any ideas what might be causing this?
    Thanks.
    J.

    How are you calibrating your monitor? The only real difference between the Library and develop module is that the Library module shows a preview that is generally stored in the adobeRGB color space. The Develop module uses a color space based on prophotoRGB primaries and can encompass any color your camera can capture. It is possible that your green falls outside of adobeRGB and gets clipped in the library preview, while in the develop module it shows them. This is only possible to see if you have a wide gamut monitor, or when your calibration software generates a perceptual rendering intent. If you export and you do not use the prophotoRGB color space, you will loose these colors.

  • Export panel bridge cs5 - image quality only to 10

    Hi
    Is anyone else having problems with the image quality settings in the image options.  It cannot seem to save the max setting of 12 it only save jpegs at 10.
    Any suggestions,  Thanks Andy

    I had the exact same issue - except mine is limiting it to a maximum of 8
    The workaround I found is to build the export profile exactly as you would like it - and let it pick whatever number it wants (8 or 10) - ignore the words of Low/High/Maximum - those just correlate to the 8 or 10 (or 12)
    12 is the true maximum for the JPG export and once you run it - there is a noticeable file size increase and the images are a higher quality.
    Once you have the profile built, go into the folder "Export Presets"
    Macintosh HD > Users > YourUsername > Library > Application Support > Adobe > Bridge CS5 > Export Presets
    Open up the file that matches the same name as what you created inside bridge
    The file will likely open as an .xml file inside dreamweaver (or another XML editor)
    find the line:
           <imageQuality>8</imageQuality>
    and set what the system set as an 8 (or a 10) to a 12
           <imageQuality>12</imageQuality>
    save the file and run the export again.
    You will have what were 2-4MB JPG files becoming 8-12MB files with a quality of 12/Maximum
    Hope that helps

  • Gif image shows only in black and white

    Hello...
    I'm trying to convert normal image to PlanarImage but the PlanarImage will show only black & white image in the applet. My guess is that it has something to do with bands but I can't figure out how to solve the problem.
    Here is the code what I'm trying to use in applet's init method
    public void init(){
         Image my_gif;
         URL base;
         MediaTracker mt;
         mt = new MediaTracker(this);
         try {       
              base = getCodeBase();
         catch (Exception e) {}
         my_gif = getImage(base,"image.gif");
         mt.addImage(my_gif,1);
         try {
         mt.waitForAll();
         catch (InterruptedException e) {}
         int imageHeight = my_gif.getHeight(this);
         int imageWidth = my_gif.getWidth(this);
         int numBands = 3;
         int len = imageHeight * imageWidth * numBands;
         byte[] imageData = null;
         PixelGrabber pixeli = new PixelGrabber(my_gif, 0, 0, imageWidth, imageHeight,false);
         SeekableStream ss = null;
         try {             
              pixeli.grabPixels();
              imageData = (byte[])pixeli.getPixels();
         } catch (InterruptedException e2) {
              e2.printStackTrace();
         ColorModel cm = pixeli.getColorModel();
         SampleModel sm = cm.createCompatibleSampleModel(imageWidth,imageHeight);
         TiledImage tiledImage = new TiledImage(new Point(),sm,imageWidth,imageHeight);
         DataBufferByte dbb = new DataBufferByte(imageData,len);
         Raster raster = RasterFactory.createWritableRaster(sm,dbb,new Point());
         tiledImage.setData(raster);
         PlanarImage image = (PlanarImage)tiledImage;

    Go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn off White on Black.

  • At log-in Firefox stated that it was having a problem closing tabs and directed me to click a tab to continue, which I did, and sexually explicit images appeared on the screen and when I tried to close the screen, another screen popped up with additional

    At log-in Firefox the screen opened up with the message "Oops, We're embarrassed, we are having trouble closing tabs" or similar wording directing me to click on a tab to continue, which I did. At which time a screen full of rows of thumbnail pictures of a young girl in appeared on the screen. Some of the pictures had the girl imitating a sexual act. When I tried to close out of the screen by clicking on the 'X' at the top right of the screen, another screen opened with another larger picture of this little girl. I finally got out of Firefox. When I open it up again the message wasn't on the screen. As these pictures were disturbing I cleared them out of my history.
    My questions are - 1. Since these pictures appeared to be of a minor, can you backtrack to the source to find out where they originated and have something done about the individual who posted them? And,
    2. - Did my clicking on the link as directed - by Firefox, I thought - open my computer up to the personal information on my computer being compromised?

  • When using personas no image appears, only the background color

    have firefox 5.0.1

    Same problem here. I tried the safe mode deal and it didn't work. On mine I can't even see a the tiled images of the personas, but when I scroll over them it previews it for me, but like the previous poster said it's just a solid color with no images. I really like using the personas and hope that I can get this figured out. Thanks.

  • How can I make an image appear partially in front and partially behind another layer?

    I have a drawn vector image that is behind a layer with a stroked ellipse like this:
    However I need just one part of the image to appaer in front of the stroke.  In this image I need the paw on the right to be in front of the stroke but I need the other leg to be covered by the stroke:
    I'm guessing I need to somehow make a copy of just the paw and place it on a layer above the layer with the stroke in order to achieve this effect however I don't know how to do that in Illustrator.  Any help would be appreciated.

    What program was the artwork created in and what version of Illustrator are you using? ALWAYS provide this information first so we know what features you have available.
    If everything is native Illustrator artwork, then you can probably copy the portion of the paw you want outside the circle and use a PathFinder command to merge that shape with the circle, then put the resultant shape behind the artwork.

  • Can an image appear during review?

    I would like to have an image appear only during the review of the matching game. . . i want to place a symbol legend so that the user knows what the green hand, red hand, check marks mean.  Is this possible?
    I'm using Captivate 6. thanks for your help!

    Are you talking about the Matching Question slide, I suppose so.
    Which version of 6, please?
    Anyway, none of the three versions of 6 has yet the system variable cpInReviewMode. You'll have to create your own user variable, will label it 'v_review' to track that. You don't tell if you allow multiple attempts on Quiz level? The idea is that this user var has an initial value of 0 and will be toggled to 1 when the last Quiz attempt is done. This is possible by creating a conditional advanced action, triggered on entering the Score slide, something like:
       IF cpQuizInfoAttempts is equal to n      (n being number of Quiz Attempts)
          Assign v_review with 1
         Continue
      ELSE
         Continue
    Create your image (or text container) on the question slide, that you want to show up during Review and make it hidden in the Properties panel. Beware: the objects on a question slide are always on top of the stack, put that image where it is not beneath a quiz object. And for the On Enter action of that slide create another conditional advanced action:
      IF v_review is equal to 1
        Show image
        Continue
      ELSE
        Continue
