How to keep toolbar in Photoshop CS5 always on top

I have just upgraded to CS5 from CS3. In CS5, when I move an open document around on screen it covers over the toolbar, but only if the toolbar is docked to the side of window.  It will also cover the property bar and menu bar at the top of the interface.  The palettes on the r/h side always stay on top if not docked to the edge of the window, but if docked they too get covered over. In CS3 all the interface items stayed on top.  Is there any way to make sure they is always on top when docked (I prefer not to have them free floating)?
I'm using Vista Ultimate.  My monitor is a Dell 24" Ultrasharp running at native 1920x1200 res.

Thanks for the suggestion.  Turning OpenGL off makes no difference, and with it turned on I have also tried the three different quality settings, none of which made any difference either.
I've also just tried with CS5 in a window, rather than fully maximised, and like that I can actually drag an open image right outside the Photoshop interface!

  • How to get Camera RAW / Photoshop CS5 to work with Canon 100D?

    How to get Camera RAW / Photoshop CS5 to work with Canon 100D? I don't want to by this product again and again...

    In what way is ACR not working in Bridge?  Is there no right-click Open in Camera Raw available from Bridge, or there is, but the ACR version is less than ACR 6.7.1 or what exactly is the issue? 
    Also, if you open Photoshop and do Help / About Plug-ins / Camera Raw, is ACR missing from the list, or if not, what version does it say is installed?
    You might also want to describe what methods you have tried to correct the issue, since saying you've tried what you've seen posted and they didn't work, isn't really much to go on.

  • Photoshop CS5 always around 100% CPU usage

    Photoshop CS5 12.0.1 x64 running on Snow Leopard 10.6.4 always takes around 100% CPU, no matter if it's on screen or not. I can not figure out what it is doing behind the scene. I have deactivated fonts preview and I have no third party plugin except for the FontExplorer plugin (that handles missing font requests).
    Use case example : Right now, Photoshop is hidden and on a different Space (as in Mac "Spaces"). The only open file is a psd file, containg only a few layer and groups, no text and is 240px X 130px. For the past 10 minutes, Photoshop's CPU usage has varied between 99.8% and 103%. This seems odd, comparing to After Effects running at the same time using only around 0.6% CPU...
    Any idea how I can fix this?

    Try turning off font previews, try disabling your third party plugins.
    We've seen several third party plugin bugs that would waste CPU time.
    And font previews can spend time (completely interruptable) until the previews are completed.
    Photoshop normally uses 1% or less CPU when in the background.

  • Where/How to get download for Photoshop CS5 (not Extended)

    I am setting up a new computer (Mac) and am not transferring data from old computer (clean install).  I own Photoshop CS5 (not the Extended), and need to re-download that version (I had upgraded via Adobe website).  The only version I see offered is the Extended, which I do not need or want.
    How can I find the download I need?  I have all the serial numbers going back to Photoshop 2.
    This always fills me with dread, with these applications- most unfriendly.
    Thanks

    Thank you both.
    My account (Your Adobe Product and Online Service Registrations) shows the purchase of Photoshhop 12 (which I assume is CS5).  However, the other section which shows purchases is missing this one and several others, whioch were supposedly corrected the last time I went thru this.
    I don't see where to figure out whether CS 5 or CS 5.1.  I had upgraded when the CS5 came out, and have updated it as updates are available.  I guess I can download whatever is available and see if my activation codes work; if not, I guess I can uninstall and talk to Adobe next week.
    Thanks!

  • How to group swatches in Photoshop CS5?

    in illustrator, you can create swatch folders, so you can find different combinations easily,
    but how can i do it in photoshop cs5?
    anyone know?

    Gosh, I wish this was possible!
    Also, it would be great to be able to add a 'line break' to the swatches so you can start a new group on a new line.
    OR at least as a fall back allow multiple swatch panels to be open... so the default swatches can remain in place and I can have a floating panel specific to the document i'm working on.
    Hopefully in CS6!?

  • How do I re-download Photoshop CS5?

    Right, here is the problem - installation media is corrupted and I need to re-install Photoshop CS5 on my Mac.
    I have the valid serial number (as registered) but cannot find out where I can download Photoshop CS5 (unless I hit the torrent sites! - which I don't want to do).  Where do I go to download the CS5 software legitmately?
    I have had a look and it is not showing up in my "order history"
    Thanks in advance.

    Tessa, if you orignially got CS5 from the Adobe online store, you can log on again, and the link will be there in your Orders page.  I don't know how it works if you started with the DVD, but John sounds like he has sorted you out.
    Just checked, and that's a handy page John.  It is now bookmarked on my system, and I'll wager by most other people who view this thread.
    I'll add a me-too for backing up.  I lost a raid0 array a month or so ago, and it had hundreds of hours of video editing on it.  (time invested - not edited video)  I had a nearly up to date copy on another drive, but I also run Shadow Protect which can be set to record changes to the backed up drives every 15 minutes as a background process.  You can also make a virtual copy of your boot drive, and a bood CD that will have you up and running five minutes after a complete boot drive failure.  One of the best $100 I ever spent.  You don't even know it is there until you need it.

  • How much PC DRAM for Photoshop CS5, 2GB, 4GB, 6GB, or 8GB ?

    I just bought a notebook via mailorder wich comes with 1x 2GB. It has a max of 2x 4GB. I shoot alot of NEF files on Nikon. I'm shopping on eBay for DRAM. How much DRAM do i really need for Photoshop CS5 Extended,  2, 4, 6, or 8GB ?

    If you have a 64 bit system that can take the large memory, more is better.  Go for the 8 GB.
    If I were building a new desktop system today for Photoshop work I'd put at lest 16 GB in it.  8 GB will be a healthy notebook machine.

  • How do I upgrade from Photoshop CS5 to CS6?

    I have Photoshop CS5 and want to upgrade to CS6. However, I don't want the Creative Cloud version. (I don't want to have to pay a monthly or annual fee!) I want to pay the one-time "lifetime" license fee. Where do I go to do this? How much will it cost? Or is this no longer an option?

    That page has suites and individual apps.
    Now that he knows that it's "lying" about being a $699 option to buy, clicking makes sense.
    That's not a lie. Photoshop CS6 can be bought for $699.

    I used to similarly  sneer at people who kept asking me what photoshop to get until I realized how much Adobe muddied those waters!  Hint, there are about a DOZEN Photoshop products (or at least there were).
    I hardly think that the difference between a full purchase and an upgrade is analogous to the differences amongst "about a DOZEN" products.

  • HOW DO I UN-INSTALL PHOTOSHOP CS5 ?

    HOW DO I UN-INSTALL  PHOTOSHOP CS5

    If you have CS6 or CC installed I would just wipe out Photoshop CS5 install tree. I would not use Adobe or a Windows un-installer.  For these often restore thing like resister entries to the state before CS5 was installed even when these entries were later updated to a newer version of Photoshop. If you do not have a newer version of Photoshop install or are willing to install the newer version again I would think it safe to use Adobe uninstall.

  • How do I update my Photoshop CS5?  I can't use the automatic update in the program as it says there are no new updates.

    I have also gone to adobe and tried to download the latest update there, but when I load the zip file, and try to open the .exe, it just gives me an "error loading updater workflow".  Help.  I would like to be able to eventually use my new camera in photoshop and lightroom.

    Here is the download link for Adobe Camera Raw 6.7 which is the latest for Photoshop CS5 Windows.
    Also look at Help > About Photoshop to see if it is 12.0.0 or 12.0.4
    Adobe - Photoshop : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.7 Update
    Before you run the installer, make sure you exit Photoshop and Bridge, and be sure Bridge in not running in your system tray.
