Has anyone experienced an image in the workspace suddenly going dim?

Using CS 4 with Windows 7.  Sometimes when working with an image it will suddenly go dim.  The rest of the screen stays bright (tools, panels, tool bar etc.)  This seems to happen when I switch to something else such as My Pictures and upon returning to Photoshop, the image has gone dim.

What video card is it?
I ask because I've always felt ATI has done a pretty good job of supporting their older hardware with new drivers.  I'm presently using a 2+ year old ATI Radeon HD 4670 and it's still getting new driver updates (e.g., Catalyst 10.9 just recently).
For what it's worth, it's exactly the sentiment you expressed (lack of support of a not very old card, which was very expensive) that caused me to swear off the nVidia brand.
The good news is that a quite happenin' video card of either brand can be bought for little over a hundred bucks nowadays.

  • Has anyone experienced regular adjustments to the sound and brightness done by the laptop itself?

    I have a 2010 MacBook Pro i7, 15" notebook.  Without adjustments by myself, I find the sound and brightness seem to regress to the lower levels.  Has anyone experienced this and what have you done to fix it?

    Well, well, well... Nothing has changed. Somehow or another Adobe has managed to truly take control of Windows 7.
    I updated Bridge or more correctly... The Cloud did and every files extension in Bridge had 'none' as the application. Lovely stuff. Now All I want to know is why did Adobe take control of Windows file manager and cause this much grief?
    I almost never use the clunky and often impossible to manage Bridge. Simple freeware... Irfanview is way more elegant than Bridge and 10 times more useful IMO.
    Well thanks for the heads up Curt. I never considered the full implication of giving Adobe the freedom to add and remove whatever they wanted to... Forget the don't fix what isnt broken thing... Just pour everything we've got in the cloud onto all the  members PCs, eh? Hard drives are cheap and hey, what are forums for when things go wrong if it isn't to keep Adobe informed of bugs they can silently fix and pour 'em back into the cloud as fixes.
    Ha,ha you just gotta love progress eh?
    This is really going to take on. I can see it now... For every mess up of a PC -- "THE CLOUD DID IT"!!!

  • Again, has anyone experienced any issues concerning the auto vector mask option in Fireworks when trying to fade an image?

    I have a major issue that I have tried to resolve on many levels, to no avail. The auto vector mask pop up window is empty when I choose it to fade an image in fireworks. Can anyone please assist. Thanks.

    All those commands use Flash for their GUIs - is the Flash player installed on your system?
    Are you on Mac or Windows? It works fine for me on Windows.

  • Has anyone experienced a problem with the adjustment brush since last update (for Mac) last week?

    Following an update to Lightroom on my Mac Pro work station last Friday: when I apply my adjustment brush to an area in an image, a faint box encompassing a much larger area than the size of my brush appears (extends well beyond the area I've identified with my brush and is clearly a large square shape). When I release my mouse, the adjustment I've made affects my entire image. I had no issues with adjustment brush prior to the update. I've been on the phone with Adobe support (no help). Have uninstalled/reinstalled Lightroom several times (no help). Adobe directed me to Apple (recommend use of Time Machine to date before Lightroom update came through). To ensure it's an isolated bug, I checked my MacBook Pro. Worked fine without update; I let update come through and find the adjustment brush "bug" is intermittent. When it occurs, however, I always see the larger "box" area, and the adjustment brush ultimately affects my entire image.
    Anyone else experiencing this? Adobe support insists it's a Mac issue. Thanks!

    Hi,

    Same problem (rectangular areas) + others under Windows. The adjustment brush and the clone / heal tool have been totally broken in LR 3.2. You're not alone. See this thread. I have filed a bug report. No answer until now.

    Hi,
    Just a hunch ... are you using GLIMS?
    If so, update GLIMS and everything will be okay.

  • Has anyone experienced this problem: I am editing in FCP 7.0.3 on a Mac 10.6.8 - I have a clip in the browser that is full frame and matched the other clips but when I drop it in the time line it becomes a fully zoomed in version of itself

    has anyone experienced this problem: I am editing in FCP 7.0.3 on a Mac 10.6.8 - I have a clip in the browser that is full frame and fine and it matches the other clips in my bins but when I drop it into the time line it becomes a fully zoomed in version of itself and I can only see a small portion of the image.  What's going on?  I've noticed this has happened in the past randomly with other clips and it's driving me cray cray!  Any help appreciated greatly and thanks in advance for taking the time

    In the FCP Browser, click on the source clip that is showing up sized incorrectly to select it. Once it is selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for the clip. Either report those properties here, or take a screen shot of the item properties and post the screen shot here.
    Next, click anywhere in your sequence timeline and then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your sequence settings. Either report those settings or take a screen shot of the sequence settings and post that screen shot here.

  • Has anyone experienced problems with Mackeeper? I did not complete downloading this software. Yet, occasionally when on the internet, I will have the MacKeeper multi-colored circle replace my pointer. How do you deal with this?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Don't download MacKeeper. Users complain about this app and it damages OS X. Also, Mac OS X knows how to take care of itself, so you don't need any other cleaning application that may damage OS X. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3691

  • Has anyone experienced the mute switch / auto-rotate switch iOS bug on their ipad?

    Has anyone experienced the mute switch / auto-rotate switch iOS bug on their ipad?
    I have experienced this on iPad 1 as well as iPad 2.
    Basically, when you set the side switch to toggle screen orientation (or mute), after a period of use I will have either my sound cease to function or the ipad screen will not orient correctly.  This depends on what i have chosen the side switch to toggle.  I am not sure what causes it.  The time it takes for the problem to appear is inconsistent. Some say it is caused by third party applications.
    One can find numerous threads on here if you search for "sound on my ipad stopped working" or "orientation not working".  It appears to be the same problem. Fudging with the toggle switch settings can fix it (but it takes a weird order to get it out of its non functioning loop). 
    Here is a thread that addresses the sound issue:  https://discussions.apple.com/message/15263298#15263298

    Its only for notifications.. it is not for sound from videos or music!

  • Has anyone experienced, if so found a solution to having electrical shock, tingling, pain and burning in fingers hand and wrist from using the apple mac computers??

    Has anyone experienced electrical schock, tingling, burning and pain in the fingers, hand and wrist while using the apple mac desktop and the apple pro notebook??  If, so have you found a solution??  Never experienced this with any other computers and I have talked with my Doctor as well as a specialist and have had an EMG test for capatunel and nerve damage both test were negative

    I have experienced some mild tingling if I touch the aluminum case on my iMac at the same time that I touch the metal cases on my external hard drives.  They are all connected to the same surge suppressor and are on the same circuit, which is definitely properly grounded.  I can't explain it, and I just make sure not to touch them at the same time.
    I have never had any sensation touching just one of the devices alone.  Is that what you are experiencing?

  • Has anyone experienced a flicker issue on the lock screen?

    I recently bought a 32GB iPhone 4 on 4.3.3 installed and there's a flicker on the bottom lock screen. Right before it goes to the lockscreen there is a slight flicker. Has anyone experienced this. Or can anyone look to see if they have this problem. I went to bestbuy and I usually go to the phones section with my cousin anyways to see the latest well there were iPhones out to see and I looked and the bestbut one had the same thing but I want to see if anyone else had this or knows a solution to this. Should I downgrade or what?
    Thank you.

    I did forget to mention I had a iPhone in November and It didn't have this problem. Im thinking it's firmware update bug. But idk

  • A "shared' equipment icon identified as only f891cb000000 is appearing in my sidebar and the only info I can generate identifies it as a PC-- my attempts to generate more info results in nothing more than "fetching;" has anyone experienced similar?

    A "shared' equipment icon identified as only f891cb000000 is appearing in my sidebar and the only info I can generate identifies it as a PC-- my attempts to generate more info results in nothing more than "fetching;" has anyone experienced similar?

    Thanks to the gentlemen, Messrs. Galt & rack0 tack0, for their timely replies. I failed to mention in my original post that there are upwards of 15 Apple appliances in our house-- from Apple TV to 4 Apple iPhones to 4 iPads to 2 MacBook Pros to 2 iMacs to a 2TB Time Capsule-- we're all Apple, all the time. We don't own a PC and that was what was hanging me up. I did confirm, incidentally that we're IP6 (although, honestly, that technical jargon didn't mean a lot to me-- hey, I learned something [sorta]!). Anyway, after much digging, I've finally determined that what was/is being identified as a PC, is in fact a Canon MX860 Printer serving the "old" 21' iMac-- thankfully, our recently acquired Epson XP-410 serving the "new" 27' iMac is identified as such. And despite the time spent, a few valuable things occurred along the way, including a firmware update related to the Time Capsule... learn by doing, I guess. Thanks again.

    Has anyone experienced the 3GS phone exploding when turned off and not in use after a period of time? Is so, what did you do to get it replaced?

    I haven't, but thanks for asking. 
    Bring your phone to Apple for replacement.  If you're in the warranty period, the replacement will be free; if not you will pay $149.
