Delayed Fill command and intermittent scroll zooms image size

Since the last CC update I've noticed that the first time I open the Fill command it takes a moment or two to appear. Thereafter during the same work session, the Fill command appears immediately when pressed, as it should.  I am not using it with an especially large open image file.  This has only occurred since the latest CC update.  What might cause the initial delay?
The second thing I have seen is that the "Zoom with scroll wheel" command only zooms an open document intermittently.  It always works after I open Preferences and close them (without reselecting Zoom with scroll wheel - ie just opening and closing Preferences restores the function).  At other times it just stops working.
Everything else seems to be working fine.  Anyone else observe these behaviours?  Any ideas on causes or solutions, please?  I have not tried resetting Preferences yet.
I'm using a Logitech mouse with its latest driver.  Equipment is a 3770K cpu, Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe mothrboard, 32Gb ram, Asus GTX660 video card (with the latest drivers), (x4) SSD's for OS, Scratch and data files.  W7 64bit.  Photoshop CC.  System is stable.
Thanks.

For anyone who might come across this issue in the future - the answer to the laggardly Fill command start-up turned out to be the removal of some Topaz plugins.

  • Pan and Zoom/Image Size

    I have tried the pan and zoom (Ken Burns Effect) in iPhoto 08 but have been struck by the following problems:
    1. With the image slider moved all the way to the left, I cannot move an image left-right/right-left to isolate a particular area for a pan start or finish. I can solely move an image up and down.
    2. In order to do any panning, I have to zoom into the image. What this means is that to pan I have to do some zooming, i.e., I have to start with a close up of the subject(s) right from the git-go and starting with a close up eliminates areas of the original image. This is not good.
    2. My images in the editor (monitor)are complete large in size, i.e. they take up a good portion of the monitor real estate. I thought that reducing photo resolution/image size to 640x480/72dpi would solve the problem but it didn't. I am still encountering the same limited pan ability.
    I build very large and extensive slide shows and I now know the limitations regarding music and sound inherent in iLife but I was not expecting a limitation in image presentation capabilities as well.
    Just for comparisons sakes, I have used Photoshop Elements 6 (the Organizer) to build slide shows and have not encountered these problems at all.
    At any rate, am I doing something wrong in iPhoto 08?
    Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom.

    Thank you both for your replies. I will definatley try both suggestions.With the cropping, panning and zooming what i am trying to do is this. On a image in previous version of photo elements you were able to select cropping when making a slide show. What I would do is select the image, select cropping. Then I would select a square or rectangular area where the image would start appearing. Then the next select area (square or rectangular) would be where the image would end up at in that. Its was kind of a start & end point for an image. Then to add to this affect you could fade in to the first "cropping selection"so to speak and then fade out in the second "cropping selection". Then your slide show moves to the next image. All in all the transition between photos are a fade in & out affect, whilst the cropping feature let you pick areas of the photo that you wanted to highlight. You could select a small square or rectangle and the image would fade in "out of focus" but the second selected cropping point would be larger and the image ends up in focus.
    I hope this makes sense!!!  Anyway Steve I will try your suggestion and see how I go!
    Thank you

  • How can I descreen and scale the target image size with a HP 8600 n911 premium?

    I recently purchased an new HP 8600 n911 premium all-in-one, HP's top of the line all in one inkjet printer/scanner.  I cannot find any settings that permit me to descreen an image (such as one in a newspaper) or to adjust the size of the target image.  Is there additional software that will permit me to do this or am I missing something in the software provided by HP?  
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    You would need software form a third party to have this option.  The free software that comes with the 8600 doesn't have an option for that. Vuescan is the only software I could find that says it works with your pritner and has a descreen option.  You have to purchase it, but it will give you more advanced options than the software that came with the printer.

  • Can you lock aspect ratio, define border and image size with automated BatchCropStraighten?

    Hello everybody,
    I need to crop and straighten a load of scanned rectangular stamps that will start as a single scanned image, and I want to lock the aspect ratio to 1:1, define the top border size (such that the the borders on the sides will be bigger than those top and bottom) and specify the output image size.
    Does anybody know if this is possible using the automates BatchCropStraighten function?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    I know of no BatchCropStraighten feature in Photoshop.  Photoshop has a Plugin CropPhotosAuto that you access through menu File>Automate>Crop and Straighten Photos.
    On my windows system its "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2014\Required\Plug-Ins\Automate\CropPhotosAuto.8li". This plug-in is designed to help you scan several image with a single scan. All the plug-in does is to look at the current active document looking for what appears to be a scanned image and to create an additional document that contain a straighten version of the image the size of the image. No files are created nothing is saved only one document is processed even if you had several scans open in Photoshop.  When the Plug-in ends the current active document is the last document the plugin created.
    You may be able to program a Photoshop script that would fit the create documents to some size then add canvas that would make all the documents have the same Aspect ratio and size. The borders added would be equally sizes on opposite sides top and bottom the same left and right the same.  However the image aspect ration inside the borders may vary.
    I created a fake scan with five simulated images. Not straight and not all rectangles  and duped the document so two would be open the used File>Automate>Crop and Straighten Photos when the process finished I spread out the document so you could see all that are open in this screen capture.

  • Actions have to be done manually/ image size not available

    i have a foder opened up in bridge , all photos selected, I go to tools/photoshop/batch/I choose my own action, web 1400, which includes reducing to 1400 px, reduce resolution, and saving to jpeg.
    In set, i choose my own actions, source: folder, choose the original folder, destination:folder, create new folder,ok.
    i have to do all the oks and saves by clicking manually, all in the end is fine, but that's odd.
    OR FROM PHOTOSHOP/windows/actions; it just wont work all together; My action is called web1400, includes 3 commands::
    2 image size (for reducing size, resolution) and save to jpeg.
    I select  web 1400, then I click the play icon (3rd from left) . that brings the selection down 1 step to image size and a window appears:  image size is not currently available.

    You should make sure that your printer is selected in Page Setup, rather than the generic Any Printer. You may need to look for it in Options... when you choose it in PowerPoint.

  • Image size related to screen resolution - Questions

    Trying hard to get my head around picture dimensions vs quality vs screen/printer resolution, can anyone confirm if what I think I understand is correct.
    My Canon RAW images are 3888 x 2592 pixels. If I export from LR a full sized JPEG (at 100% quality) I get an image that is 3888 x 2592 pixels in size. So the questions:
    1) If I open the JPEG in something simple like Windows Picture Viewer and hit the 'Actual Size' button then put simply is each pixel in the picture lighting up a pixel on the screen ?
    2) If I zoom out then presumably there are more picture pixels than screen pixels so some data is thrown away and there is some downsizing of the image ?
    3) If I zoom in then there is not enough data and there is some intrpolation to upsize the image ?
    What I'm actually trying to get to grips with is, if i want to post pics online or e-mail them, when to drop the quality a bit to save filespace and when to change image size.
    Cheers

    Downsample a LOT for email and quite a lot for web viewing. Not only might they not look as good as they should, people will not be happy waiting for a 3000+ pixel image to download to them.
    A "full width"
    Of course, if someone wants to print the photo, then you need to maintain the resolution and they should know it will take some time to download.
    If you want to see what size others use for the web and can't estimate by looking at it on your monitor in a browser, you can find out the dimensions of a picture you are viewing. In Firefox and windows, right click on the photo and select properties.
    flickr, for example, resizes to various sizes. Even though you can upload full size images to flickr, you might not want to do so to protect your full-size image from being used.

  • How to make Image/size/resolution agree with metadata resolution?

    After scanning the help file a bit and searching thru this forum a bit with `metadata resolution' as search criteria, I'm still pretty confused about how it is supposed to work.. I may have never actually found the right part of the help file.
    Cutting to the chase: How can I make the resolution reported by the metadata tab for resolution agree with what is reported inside photoshop at Image/size resolution.  I didn't see any way to set how res is reported in bridge.
    I see many pictures reported in metadata as 72 ppi for resolution and  reported in photoshop as 200 pixel/inch
    They do BOTH mean pixels per inch right?  If so, or really even if they don't how can I get the two reports to show the same resolution?
    There are too many processes that depend on knowing res in advance of opening a file for that to be so far divergent.

    Some JPG or Tiff with Camera raw settings will be opened in ACR firstly when you double click them. In ACR workflow option (the bottom in the ACR dialog) the resolution value isn’t same with that in Bridge (metadata panel). If you go ahead to open the image in PS by clicking ‘Open Image’ button in ACR dialog and then check the image size from Image -> Image Size in PS, the resolution will be same with ACR (actually it is changed by ACR).
    If disable ACR support for JPG and Tiff in Bridge (Open Camera Raw Preferences in Bridge and choose ‘Disable JPEG support’ or ‘Disable TIFF support’ for ‘JPEG and TIFF Handling’), JPG or TIFF files will be opened by PS directly and the resolution matches between Bridge and PS. I believe this is an ACR bug.
    So what file types are you using and if they’re opened by ACR firstly in your workflow?
    The files are *.jpg.   But I don't see where camera raw comes in.  These are common jpg files.  I'm opening them by double click in bridge.
    Any way I did disable jpg and tiff in the Camera Raw preferences as you suggested.  At Jpeg and tiff handling, both disabled. and restared bridge.
    However, I see no improvment.
    For example, a file reporting 72 ppi in bridge when opened in photoshop ... Images/size resolution reports 480 pixels/inch.
    There is obviously some kind of miss handling that has been done to these files for them to have such a high resolution.   I suspect they may have been handled at Walgreens or Walmart... or similar since I had something very similar happen to me once when I had a bunch of pictures developed at Walgreens and they cam back with resolutions like that, when I know the camera would have given them something way less.
    But I don't see how any of that should be effecting Bridges  inability to get the resolution right.
    Here is another example: some.jpg
    It appears that bridge is showing an unusually huge file size in inches, to account for the reported 72 ppi.
    Bridge:
    Size: ...............1.14mb
    Dimensions:.....1496x1064
    Dimensions in
    inches ............20.8x26.7
    Resolution: .....72 ppi
    ===========================
    Photoshop:
    pixels
    Width 1496
    height 2064
    Document size
    inches
    width  4.987

    Do you have further suggestions?

  • Image size jumps from 10.3mp to 58.9mp?

    I shoot DNG in camera at 10.3mp. When opened in CC and I go to image size it is suddenly 58.9mp but only 11.9in by 9.6in in size.  Why?  I am looking to get a 16x20 print out of it with oul loss of image quality.

    Depends on what figures you are using.  Some doc sizes include ram resources needed to handle the image, but have nothing to do with image size.
    Also, depends on layers, history states, etc.

  • Map.app image size is almost never correct. Always small, except when 'actual size'!

    I insert images into Apple Mail and they look fine (Image Size set to "Actual Size".)
    But sometimes I want then slightly smaller without editing, saving and re-loading.
    So I use the very handy Image Size feature in Mail.app.
    Sadly, whether the image is set to Small, Medium or Large, the image is ALWAYS resized to Small.
    On rare occasions I see a difference for Large, but then medium and small are always the same. 
    Even the byte counts for the message are the same across all image sizes.
    It seems the only REAL options are 'Small' and 'Actual Size'.
    I have had this issue with all versions of Mac OS X that included this feature up to and including Mavericks.
    Has anyone figured out the messed up magic that makes this feature work correctly, or in sty least a sane or consistent manner?

    Thanks for the reply Jon, but unfortunately I ended up with the same result as MTSTUNER said (using the Crop Tool).
    MTSTUNER, that definitely helped. The problem must have been in pasting, which as you said brings a "non-smart" image over. I was even able to resize a bit on the new document without losing any clarity whatsoever. Very helpful - THANK YOU!

    However, when booting into the update, it goes through the startup....reads the existing rom image...then attempts to look at the disk version...and gives the wrong image size message. Usually, this means ether you've got the wrong bios image (hmmm...toshiba led me to it...so maybe it's wrong...but readme says it's ok) OR the download was corrupt. Re-Downed the entire set up file again (file name as mentioned above) and tried again. All disk work on my master workstation which is almost always correct. (except when it's not?)

  • How do I turn off the alt scroll zoom?  When I'm in Adobe photoshop and illustrator using the pen tool, alt is utilized for another short cut.  I would like to use the alt command for the pen tool instead of zooming into the screen.

    How do I turn off the alt scroll zoom? 
    When I'm in Adobe photoshop and illustrator using the pen tool, alt is utilized for another short cut.  I would like to use the alt command for the pen tool instead of zooming into the screen.

    I tend to select things from left to right and every time I am moving in a downward right diagonal motion during lasso selection I am missing a clear view and I am tending to have a more sloppy selection.  All this does is slow me down since I need to go back and hit those areas again.  The big arrowhead just get's in the way.  The original lasso tool with the thin line and small active point at it's lower left was far better for me.
    I don't like turning the cursors to precise because I like to see the active tool icon where my cursor is and as the icon changes as I hold modifier keys down.  If I am forced to get comfortable with using pricise cursors I guess I will, but man, I've never had to do this in my 15 years of photoshop use...
    I would absolutely LOVE to find a way to get the old lasso icon -- without the arrowhead above it.
    Is there any chance this option could be inlcuded in cursor preferences?  I'd give much thanks, Adobe.

  • Zooming, scrolling and moving in large images

    I'd like to create a document viewer that works like Google Maps or Safari. Basically the "image" of the document is so big that I only want to load parts of it when the user actually goes over to that part of it.
    How can I enable zooming, scrolling and moving in "large" images like that?
    I looked for a tutorial or sample code, but I wasn't able to find anything.
    Any help would be appreciated,
    -Chris.

    I have 4 Gbyte of RAM. I tried to close every applications but the problem remains. You are right about Web Browser problems but unfortunately my problem is related with Finder windows too. I have 800 Mbyte of free RAM.
    Another fact I can say to you is that when I move Finder window (or other windows as I wrote before) the area outside the border of the window is repainted not well with puzzle effect. I think the problem is related to desktop refresh and repaint. It seems that graphic acceleration doesn't work for some window!!!!

  • Suggestion: preview of Stroke and Fill commands

    Instead of having to click OK to see the result then, if not happy, having to backtrack and try a variation any number of times, could we see the document updating as we change parameters in the dialogues of Stroke and Fill commands, please? This could be an option that the user can disable, of course.
    Ps is the leading app of its kind but in some ways it seems to be clinging onto the early 1990s.

    I confused myself earlier regarding the different stroke commands. Yesterday, I had been using "Edit > Stroke" and becoming frustrated with not seeing the result until after clicking OK, then having to repeat the process several times until the result looked good by trial and error. (Yes, I know that Layer Styles give a real-time preview when adjusting stroke, but in this particular case, Edit > Stroke was what I wanted to use.) Then I was working on another image and using "Stroke Path..." to apply a brush. The result wasn't quite right, so I had to backtrack, tweak the brush, apply again, and iterate the process numerous times.
    I realise that a real-time preview of "Stroke Path..." would not help when the brush needs adjusted. It would be wonderful if the brush or other tool could be adjusted while the "Stroke Path..." dialogue is open, and have a real-time preview. So, my wish is best generalised to one of real-time preview of most manipulations that the user can make in most dialogues, and for all dialogues which do not absolutely need to be modal to be become non-modal. Changing brush controls while the "Stroke Path..." dialogue is open and seeing the displayed image updating in real time is just one special case of the general principle.
    Our modern hardware easily supports such aids to creativity.

  • UIScrollView - Scroll, Zoom, and Touches?

    Im having an issue with a UIScrollView that I cannot figure out.
    what I want to be able to do is to add images to a scrollview, and move them around by touching and moving them, while still being able to scroll/zoom the scrollview.
    I've got an app where I have a ViewController whoes view (MyScrollView) is a custom view inherited from a UIScrollView.
    MyScrollView implements touchesShouldBegin, touchesMoved and touchesEnd.
    I add some subviews (UIImageViews) to MyScrollView.
    when a touch event is handled, I compare the contentview to each of my UIImageView subviews, and if they match, then I save off which image is being moved. in thouchesmoved, I apply my changes to the selected subview.
    I also have MyScrollViews delegate set (the viewController), and have implemented the two functions needed to zoom.
    Now, here is the weird thing. If I comment out the touchesmoved implementation in MyScrollView, then MyScrollView will scroll and zoom like expected, but wont move the subviews (expected), but if I uncomment the touchesmoved implementation, then I can move my subviews, but MyScrollView no longer scrolls or zooms.
    any thoughts as to why I cant get both working at the same time?

    Since MyScrollView is a subclass of UIScrollView, you need to manually call the touchesMoved for the UIScrollView parent object so that it can do its default scrolling behavior. When you commented out your custom touchesMoved, then the message was automatically being passed to the UIScrollView's touchesMoved method.
    At the end of your touchesMoved implementation, put
    [super touchesMoved:touches withEvent:event];
    Assuming "touches" and "event" are the names of arguments in your function.

    Truly dumb question. How do I get PS to actually complete a command, eg straighten an horizon, and finalise the change. Even doing a "save as" with a new file name and reloading brings the image back, straightened, but with the skewed back ground frame still there. Is there a "apply change" or similiar command that I simply cannot see.

    PSE did what you told it to do. Choose the Straighten and crop edges or fill edges options when you use the straighten tool if you want it to do more than just straighten the contents of the image. Many people prefer the plain straighten because they'd rather crop themselves than let PSE do it.
