Icons, Tools, everything in Photoshop 2014 is way, way to small.

I've just upgraded to Photoshop 2014 CC, HD monitor running windows 8.1. I'm seeing others on the forum are experiencing this issue, but I do not see a fix. I've tried increasing text size in Edit / Preferences / Interface / UI font Size ; LARGE. This has no effect. Any help?
Most Appreciated. -JMD61

The CC 2014 Preference Experimental 2X UI will scale what it displays to you at half the resolution your displays has so things will be twice their current size is in screen.

Tool bar fonts & navigation menus are way too small. Ctrl + isn't permanent.

My screen is about 50cm. Mozilla's 3.6 navigation, toolbar and bookmark font is 9 point or less and it is very hard to read it. With such a big screen I need 10+ fonts. Crtl + ++ refers to one page at a time. I need the larger font all the time on the above mentioned places and including the drop down menu items. It is a struggle to see my customized bookmarks tool bar words and icons. They are too minimized. Fonts on web sites are not much of a problem. Writers there know their readers, and customers.

In Photoshop 2014 how do you use the clone stamp tool and keep the image panel from moving

I don't quite know how to use the clone stamp tool in the Photoshop 2014 version. When I click on the clone stamp it creates a duplicate of the image and it moves around and I can not apply the clone stamp to the area I want to correct. How do you lock it down to keep it from moving?

Hi Smoothery4501,
The Photoshop clone stamp tool allows you to copy one area of an image and copy it onto another area.
Click on the clone stamp tool then press the alt key on the keyboard and click on the image to define a source point.
Please refer to below blog for further info

Updated to new 2014 cc. In bridge when I go to tools/Photoshop/Image Processor....I get this message "adobe photoshop 2014 CC has quit working" Anyone have a fix for this??

updated to new 2014 cc. In bridge when I go to tools/Photoshop/Image Processor....I get this message "adobe photoshop 2014 CC has quit working" Anyone have a fix for this??

I use a windows 7 pro and have no problem like that from bridge cc when I select a thumbnail then use menu Tools>Photoshop>Image Processor.. I see Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 start up then I see the Image processor dialog and that one file is selected in the bridge I the complete the dialog and click run. The image files are created. Photoshop remains open after the image files are create with no open documents. I need to click on the bridge in the task bar to bring bridge back into focus.
What does you system configuration?

Crop tool won't drag with CC Photoshop 2014

I have searched everywhere and talked with Adobe support through chat (they ended that abruptly??!), and Twitter and still have not had any resolution to this. I hope someone can help.
I'm trying to do a simple crop. I've done it a million times with no problems BEFORE CC 2014.
I select the crop tool and try to drag but it always stops immediately and selects the entire image as the Crop Preview.
I've tried:
using "Classic Mode"
different Ratios/Resolutions
uninstalling/re-installing
installing the latest update - but that always fails. - I'll even completely uninstall, then when it goes to re-install it will install the one file (after a million attempts at failing to download it) and then fail on an update that it tries to install. I've tried at least 20 times. AT LEAST!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Could it be my NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS? (I know that's not the reason for the failed downloads from Adobe servers - that's all on them.)

I have spent a week trying to get this to work and now it just started working for all images. I have NO idea why.
Here's what I did:
1. uninstalled NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS drivers and reinstalled them
2. uninstalled CC Photoshop 2014 (2x)
3. clean install of CC Photoshop 2014 (2x)
4. installed update (took dozens of tries before this actually downloaded and installed successfully unfortunately)
5. clicked on the crop tool and tried to drag... nothing happened
6. waited, waited and waited.. went about my other work and forgot about it and then after about 5 minutes the crop box appeared. I was able to adjust it too.
No idea but I'm happy now.

Move tool misbehaving in photoshop CC 2014

hello re; Move tool misbehaving in Photoshop. Move tool selected. When I right click to select an individual item it initially does select it, but when I go to drag the item it picks up all the items in the layer folder. I must have changed a setting by mistake. Anyone out there who can help? Thank you

Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels (Options Bar, Layers Panel, …) visible?

Camera Raw 8.6 launch error in Photoshop 2014.2

Hi. After updating Photoshop to version 2014.2 I have a problem with launching Camera Raw plugin. When I try to open raw file there is said:
could not complete your request because of a disk error
Camera Raw doesn't launch not from Photoshop, nor from Bridge.
Photoshop 2014.2
Camera Raw 8.6.0.254
Windows 8.1
How can I fix it?
And also there's another problem with Adobe Bridge, no way to open JPEG files in Photoshop by default. Before updating to PS2014 - it was always possible to choose program to open any kind of file from Bridge. Now there's only Open button (no Open with) [right click menu], and by default it opens files in Windows picture viewer, not in Photoshop as before. So now to open JPEG in PS I have to drag file from Bridge to Photoshop window. Not really comfortable. Is that a problem of settings? (i haven't found way to fix it in settings), or a program bug?
Thanks.

Because that's when the freaking error in your freaking system surfaced and corrupted your OS install in your freaking main account!
That's exactly what I predicted and told you, problems with your OS, i.e. the main account.
Geeze… some people just come to here to argue rather than to hear what their problem may be.
I can guarantee you that you will have OS issues again until you repair your disk and/or your OS. If your HD is over two years old, it's time to replace it, given its symptoms.

How to save transparent background images to have transparent background thumbnails with Photoshop 2014?

In old versions of Photoshop there was a feature that made thumbnail images have a transparent background. I'm a CC member using Photoshop 2014 on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.4 and every thumbnail of a transparent background image I've created in Photoshop 2014 appears on my desktop with a solid white box background that has a thin black outlined box inside of it. How do I save the transparent background images I've created in Photoshop 2014 so they will appear on my desktop as thumbnails with a transparent background? I'd like to continue to be able to replace the default background-less folder icon that that appears on files with transparent background thumbnails to customize my files as I use to do with older versions of Photoshop.

If your layered document has a Photoshop background layer it visibility need to be set off when saving a PNG or Gif file for Photoshop background layers do not support transparency.
Thumbnail may be a bit more complicated than you think. I do not use Lightroom, and only occasionally use the bridge. I believe Lightroom and Bridge keep thumbnails they develop for image files in their library databases and caches. Other programs do not have acces to these. RAW Files and Image files have Jpeg previews stored in then. I believe most application use these previews jpeg to create thumbnails. Jpeg format does not support transparency.
Icon on the desktop are not always thumbnails some are embedded icons in application modules other are icon in dll these may well have transparency. However image file on the desktop have generated thumbnails. However you can create a shortcut for an image png file and create a icon with a transparent background for the png file and change the shortcut's icon for the png file to the transparent ico file you created for it.
Also many Photoshop release ago an Adobe module created Thumbnails for image files in Windows File explorer and most likely system file dialog. Adobe stopped supporting that stating Microsoft changes how windows works.
Today I use FastPictureViewer Codec Package to generate image thumbnails for image files including RAW and PSD files in File Explorer and system file dialogs.
I don't use a Mac don't know what available for your Mac.

Photoshop 2014.2 bug with duplicating layers in different doc

Encountered an issue with Photoshop 2014.2 that occurs when I try to use some_basic_bitmap_layer.duplicate(some_layer_in_different_doc, ElementPlacement.PLACEAFTER). So this is code that has been pretty much unchanged for a year and works in CS6 and CC2012 and used to worked in CC2014.1. I use .duplicate() with docs and with layers inside same doc, but this is the one giving exception:
General Photoshop error occured. This functionality may not be available in this version of Photoshop.
- The object " <unknown> of layer 2" is not currently available
Another strange thing is is that in ESTK debugging the exception surfaced in a bit different places depending on factoring. I.e. before I added more detailed exception catching, it occured later in code. But this place is the only spot there is a layer named "layer 2". But gives me the feeling it's an internal state corruption
I'm guessing it might so specific no-one else will hit it, but I'd like to ask
- Any workarounds you can think of?
- Any ways to directly escalate it to Adobe given it's a new release. The general feedback site seems a waste of effort.
- Any way to downgrade (in a way that normal users could do it also) to 2014.1?

Thanks for the feedback!
The sample code is meant for the sample psd, so it's playing on assumption that there is only one layer that is not background, is visible and not locked. In the production code it's always inside a group so it's not a background and we check for locked. Visibility we don't check but it has not been the case in the PSDs we've replicated this in.
However playing with this I did manage to find a workaround: it's possible to duplicate the layer to beginning of doc and then move it like below.
try {
    var original_doc = app.activeDocument
    var copy_doc = original_doc.duplicate("copy_doc", false) // duplicate original
    var export_doc = app.documents.add(original_doc.width, original_doc.height, original_doc.resolution, "export_doc", NewDocumentMode.RGB, DocumentFill.TRANSPARENT) // create empty export doc
    app.activeDocument = copy_doc   // select copy and first layer of it
    var layer = copy_doc.artLayers[0]
    // create dummy layer to merge to to flatten all vector & style data
    var tmp_layer = copy_doc.artLayers.add()
    tmp_layer.move(layer, ElementPlacement.PLACEAFTER)
    layer = layer.merge()
    var duplicate = layer.duplicate (export_doc , ElementPlacement.PLACEATBEGINNING)
    app.activeDocument = export_doc
    var dummy = export_doc.artLayers.add()
    var target = export_doc.artLayers.add()
    duplicate.move(target, ElementPlacement.PLACEAFTER)
} catch (e) {
    alert(e.message)
} finally {
    copy_doc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES)
    export_doc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES)
Also if I try to move duplicated layer without setting the active document Photoshop raises the same exception "The object " <unknown> of layer 2" is not currently available". I.e. it's hitting some internal issue instead of giving the right error of "not allowed to move layers in non-selected document". It kind of makes sense, i.e. duplicating to different doc after certain layer is a combo operation that duplicates to different doc and moves and they different requirements (what is the active doc).

Does anyone have time for this one? photoshop 2014 gradient not working.

Working on a project with photoshop 2014 updated thursday night using foreground to transparent gradient. The edges of the picture are staying white instead of being transparent over the background or other pictures. I thought I was using the gradient correctly converting the pic to a png file, setting the mask, then applying the gradient to the edges. Is there something I am missing??? Please help.

below is a snip of the effect i am looking for. i remember it working in the trial version late 2013 photoshop. it was so simple i thought it would be hard to forget how, but i must be missing something. i looked, clicked and checked all around the work space to find a way to change from "background layer" and did not find it. the trial version (lets call it "trial period" because its all the same except paid for now along with updated to ps 2014) did also have the layer change in an easy to find way. i believe it was double click or right click over the currently active layer in the list as in the lower snip pic.
the pic above did work during my trial period so i know it works somehow. i dont know what i am missing now. right click or double click now does not bring up the layer type selection in the menu like you suggested to change from backgroung layer. also every new picture file i open makes its own new layer. when i make a new layer i havent figured out how to put a pic in it. if you could show me how to create this effect or find my missing step that would be awsome.

Icons and toolbar text is way too small and hard to read (kind of fuzzy)

The toolbars (menu bars) at the top of the screen have letters and icons and symbols that are way too small to read. Also the background color options are limited. Light black on grey is hard to read. I have tried customizing all that I can. There used to be a thing in control panel called display, and we could pick all sorts of fonts and colors for all those toolbar strips. Where did that go? I am VERY FRUSTRATED!!

I've tried those, and have just decided to go back to 3.6. Firefox just seems to have too much input lately trying to tweak and adjust. Meanwhile, the later versions just end up looking worse and worse with each iteration. Icons too small, monochromatic tool bar, making icons harder to distinguish, and, worst of all, frequent crashes.
Perhaps some of these problems are because I'm using XP, but I've noticed many if not all of the appearance deficiencies with my laptop running Win7. Probably the most annoying thing about later versions, though, is the inability to set memory time for history. This alone is a deal breaker for me, and ultimately, as IE has gotten better, I may just go back there.

Can't download photoshop 2014 update

I'm using Photoshop CC on an iMac running OSX 10.9.3 with a 3.5 Ghz processor and 16Gb of Ram. I'm trying to download and install the most recent update for Photoshop 2014. I've tired many times and the system says the download has failed. When I click on learn more it shows that I need to restart my computer and try again. I've done so 5 times with the same lack of success. I saw on the Adobe support page that I should look for an error code. The only code I could find was DW051 and I don't understand the fix. Any ideas?

you can either uninstall, clean and reinstall per Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
or check your installation logs for more specific errors, Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6, CC

Photoshop 2014 (fresh install) cant open a video because: -. the dynamiclink media server is not avalable – any idea how to fix this on os x 10.5.8 ?

Photoshop 2014 (fresh install) cant open a video because: …. the dynamiclink media server is not avalable – any idea how to fix this on os x 10.5.8 ?

i found the error!
little snitch on os x blocks something (i dont know what exact) of adobe in the background. i have no rule defined for adobe in little snitch, so everything of adobe can go out.
when i stop little snitch, everything works fine - photoshop opens videos without the medialink error, photoshop starts up in seconds and premiere starts without a quicktime error.
i report the problem also to objective developement to fix this!

Where is the Rectangle Hotspot tool in Dreamweaver CC 2014.1?

Where is the Rectangle Hotspot tool in Dreamweaver CC 2014.1?

Thanks to all. I should've made it known that I had no clue what it looked like. I'm using Dreamweaver 2014.1 trial but my book is the Dreamweaver 2014 version. Things aren't in the same place and the book only showed the shapes after you've clicked the icon.

Icons, Tools, everything in Photoshop 2014 is way, way to small.
