Photoshop CC 2014 Screws Up Image Size

Every time I open a document in Photoshop CC 2014, the size of the canvas is basically half its real image size. I took a video of my screen so that you can understand what is happening to me and hopefully figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I make an image that is 800x300 pixels at 72 ppi
The image opens up looking half the size (about 400x150 pixels).
I make a text box with a font at 12 pt, and it comes out tiny.
I enlarge the font, type "Testing 1 2 3," and then export the image as a PNG file.
The PNG file comes out as 800x300 pixels, but the text is pixelated.
What in the world am I doing wrong? Never, in all my years of using Photoshop, had I encountered such a problem before now.
Notice at the bottom of the screen that the canvas is at 100% the entire time.

You post so little useful information. You video show you using a mac the the video setting look like 1080 yet the video does no fill my 1920 width but does fill the 1080 height. Your Mac launch icon look huge so you your 800x300 canvas looks small on you desktop so I'm guessing retina display with lots of pixels 4:3 aspect ratio. The ping posted here look bad because of the way this site scale images. if you open it in a new tab it looks great even when I click on it thus site html pop-up image display of the png looks good. I see no pixelation and the edges look sharp ans smooth.

Photoshop CC not displaying correct image sizes, among other issues.

Hey, so I'd like a bit of help here!
I got my new laptop from the school a couple of weeks ago and photoshop’s been funky ever since I got it. It’s a brand new Macbook, and it's running Photoshop CC.
First things first, it won’t recognize some of the brushstrokes I make. It will show that I've made them, but they won’t show up in the history panel. I'll have to make another stroke for it to register both of them. (Making undoing things a real pain.) Also, some of the keyboard shortcuts I use won't work in a really similar way. If I go to switch to my brush by pressing b, it occasionally won't register it unless I make an additional brush stroke. This works with all of the other shortcuts I use.
In addition, file sizes are all kinds of messed up. Here’s the most recent example. The image dimensions are 500px x 135px, 300DPI, 8bit, RGB color. This is at 100% zoom. Those are the settings I normally use, but for some reason it’s showing the file as about half of the size it should be. (Tumblr post for comparison—they are 500px wide.)
Here’s another example. This one is 1254 x 1201, 300DPI, 8bit, RGB, shown at 100% zoom. The image size is 4.31M. If I go to double the size and change nothing else, the image size jumps up to a whopping 17.2M. I don’t feel like that’s right? I don't remember any other versions of Photoshop having images be that large.
Maybe it’s my computer settings? Right now I have the resolution set on "best for display," but even if i use the "scaled" option and change sizes, the images are still too small.
I don't know if I would be able to uninstall and then re-install Photoshop because the school has control over those sorts of things and there are certain programs that you cannot remove. I've tried restarting the program as well as the laptop, but neither of those helped.
if anyone can help me, I’d really appreciate it! Thank you!

http://blogs.adobe.com/crawlspace/2012/07/photoshop-basic-troubleshooting-steps-to-fix-mos t-issues.html
As for the specifics:
The image size is 4.31M. If I go to double the size and change nothing else, the image size jumps up to a whopping 17.2M.
If you double the dimensions of an image the area is increased fourfold – so what is the problem there?
The image dimensions are 500px x 135px, 300DPI, 8bit, RGB color. This is at 100% zoom. Those are the settings I normally use, but for some reason it’s showing the file as about half of the size it should be. (Tumblr post for comparison—they are 500px wide.)
The introduction or Retina (and other high resolution) displays and browsers actually up-scaling images to accommodate those screen resolutions seems to have confused some users about the concept of pixels.
Could you please post a full size screenshot on this Forum of the image at View > 100% in Photoshop and on tumblr?

Photoshop CC (15.1) Generator - image size

Is there a way to use a transparent image to force an image size? I can get it to work if I use an almost transparent
(100% opaque layer and only 1% fill color opacity, but this isn't what I want. I'd like to be able to force the image to be a particular size
Use case: An icon is 48 pixels and a non uniform shape and it needs to live on a toolbar. I want to center it visually in a square, and have it maintain a 52 x 52px size.

Yeah, agree regarding the mask "workaround", why not just offer to use the exact SO size. I am thankful for this so far, just something for the future hopefully. There is a lot potential in this feature.
I am using an extensive amount of SO's in my current file (<30) and the mask workaround feels a bit clunky.
(Off topic: I also wonder why all the slices are generated every time again, although they haven't been changed. I am currently using a file that generates ~100 slices. Regenerating everytime I save slows my PC down. )
Anyway, thanks for that hint! Helped!

Photoshop CC 2014 - not importing images from Lightroom

I just got an upgrade from Creative Cloud. - Photoshop is the 1st program chosen for editing. It is not loading the images.
I selected it as my 2nd choice and it still is not loading the Lightroom images

When CC 2014 installed, it left PS CC - I uninstalled it. Apparently, CC2014 is some kind of additional application. The original is still needed. I deleted PS cc 2014 and reinstalled it. It put both in again. It now works..
Hope this helps.

Photoshop elements not printing correct image size

My photoshop elements 12 prints images larger than called for by the settings. A 3" square image, for example, printed at "actual size" comes out at about 3.5 inches. This is a new problem, as I've use PSE for years without it happening. I figure I must have unknowingly changed a setting somewhere, but can't figure it out. Any suggestions?

I did that, and also reinstalled PSE, both to no avail. Here's a shot of the print dialog. I don't know where the numbers shown by my arrow came from, or how to change them, but when I print the page, and the photo I am printing, are scaled up to 11x8.5, thereby expanding the image proportionately. This particular image is 3x2 inches actual, but comes out 3.75x2.5 inches. There seems to be a built-in border of some sort that I've never had to deal with before.

Installed photoshop cc (2014) and lost image processor from Bridge

How do I get back Image Processor from the Tools drop down menu in Bridge? I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Bridge and Photoshop and have no positive results.

I know some modules went kablooey when I uninstalled Photoshop CC 14.x but I fixed it by uninstalling everything and reinstalling.
Maybe try the CC Cleaner Tool?

Lr 5.5 edit in Photoshop CC 2014 - Images do not open

Selecting Edit in Photoshop 2014 on an image in Lr opens Photoshop CC 2014 but the image is not displayed.
If I select an image and select Open as Smart Object in Photoshop the image does open as as Smart Object but editing and then saving brings this error;
Error 2: Photoshop is undefined
Line: 1

Pulling my hair out as PS is now unusable with Lr and cannot see a way of going back and reinstalling Photoshop CC - is there a known cure for this?!
Peter R Hawkes

Went to the link and looked at the Install section and followed this;
Open the Creative Cloud app, and go to the Apps panel.
Filter the apps by Previous Versions.
Choose a version from the Install menu.
I installed Photoshop CC and set this up as my alternative edit program in Lr and it works!!
Thank you!

The droplet doesnt work in photoshop cc, says image size unavailable.

when prossessing a batch of images, with photoshop cc droplets, it says image size is unavailable and then stops the process leaving half a job done, how do i recify this?

Quite likely it has to do with the steps of the Action and the properties of the files – but you have not given a lot of information, so …

How do I change the image size by pixels

In the older version of photoshop you could change the image size and change it by pixels independently. With photoshopcc if I change the width the height changes. How do you change the 2 values independently to get the desired size?

You'll want to use the Camera icon to upload your screenshot images when you reply.
But jml007 has the answer I think you want. Change the units from inches to pixels and click on the chain link to turn it off and enter your W H values independently.
Mark his answer as correct if this solves your issue.

Problem with Image - Image Size (Photoshop CC 2014 Mac.) I get a small square shape in place of a curser

I tried resizing an image. I click on Image then Image Size and no dialog box to change the size comes up. Instead when I move the cursor over the image a small square replaces the cursor. All the choices in the "Image" drop down turn light gray. If I hit "Escape" Everything looks normal. Problem went away when I uninstalled Photoshop and reinstalled it, but it came back.

Two ideas:
Open Image > Image Size and hold down the Option key. The Cancel button will change to Reset. Click on it.
That may work.
If not,
Try a Preferences reset from the keyboard.
Close Photoshop
Press and hold down Cmd-Opt-Shift Start Photoshop. Look for delete settings dialog and click on "Yes"
Then after Photoshop loads, try the Image Size again.

Images look less saturated in Photoshop CC 2014

I import my RAW images into Lightroom 5 and make some basic adjustments. Then I edit the image in Photoshop with the Lightroom adjustments. I clean up the images and crop to the size I like and then I use the Perfect Effects 9 plugin to do some more edits. I finish my edits in Perfect Effects 9 and save them which brings me back into Photoshop CC as a new layer. In Photoshop the image looks less saturated than it did in Perfect Effects 9. I then save the Photoshop file and exit. When I look at the PSD file in Lightroom 5 browse window, it looks the same as it does in Perfect Effects 9. Why does it look less saturated in Photoshop CC 2014?
Here are my colour settings:
Lightroom 5:
External Editing:
     Edit in Adobe Photoshop CC 2014:
     File Format = TIFF
     Color Space = AdobeRGB(1998)
     Bit Depth = 16
     Resolution = 240
     Compression = zip
Additional External Editor:
    Preset = Perfect Effects 9 Suite
    File Format = PSD
    Color Space = AdobeRGB(1998)
    Bit Depth = 16
    Resolution = 300
Perfect Effects 9:
General:
     Working Color Space = sRGB IEC61966-2.1
Files:
     Copy Options:
     File Format = PSD
     Color Space = sRGB IEC61966-2.1
Plug-ins:
     Lightroom:
     File Type = PSD
     Color Space = Adobe RGB 1998
Photoshop CC 2014:
    Color Settings: Custom
    Working Spaces:
    RGB = sRGB IEC61966-2.1
    CMYK = U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
    Gray = Dot Gain 20%
    Spot = Dot Gain 20%
What color settings do I need to use so that the images have the same saturation look in all three programs? How do you know which image in which program is showing as the correct saturation?

No, just keep it at sRGB. As long as you have the "preserve" policy, the working space actually isn't all that important. The embedded document profile will always override it (as it should).
I had to read this a couple of times to follow the trail properly. Leaving Perfect Effects (which I don't know at all) out of it - does the very same file iteration, with the same edits, look different between Photoshop and Lightroom? Did I get that right?
In that case you have a bad monitor profile. This can sometimes throw off one application but not the other. Recalibrate, or if you don't have a calibrator go into Windows color management and set sRGB IEC61966-2.1 as default display profile. When done relaunch all applications so that they can pick up the new profile at startup.

Photoshop CC crop image size & resolution dialog box

In previous versions of Photoshop the "R" button displays the Crop Image Size & Resolution dialog box. Is this feature completely gone is CC? I can't find anything the even references this dialog box. Anyone out there have this issue?

In photoshop cc 2014, the size and resolution boxes will actually show on the tool options bar instead of a separate dialog window, by choosing W x H x Resolution from the drop-down menu.

I am running Photoshop CC 2014 on Windows 8.1 with an AMD quad core processor and AMD E1-2100 APU with AMD Radeon HD 8210 Graphics Card. I have installed the latest driver version 13.152.0.0. When I activate puppet warp, the mesh appears over the image and I can place the first pin. However, when I go to add the second pin, Photoshop crashes. I have tried with on a new, blank file, with just a few lines on it, but, as soon as I place the first pin, the image disappears, and then, as soon as I click anywhere else in the image, Photoshop crashes. I have followed all the online advice about settings under the Preferences/Performance interface, but nothing fixes the problem. Can anyone please help?

I can't get Dr Browns Image Processor Pro to work from Bridge with Photoshop CC 2014

We use the wonderful DR Browns Image Processor Pro script a lot, but cannot get it to work from Bridge with PS CC 2014. When I select files in Bridge CC and then go to Tools> Dr Browns Services 2.3.1 > Image Processor Pro it just pops up an error message that says ReferenceError: photoshop is undefined.
The actual script works fine if I launch it from Photoshop CC 2014 - just not if I load it from Bridge CC.
I have unistalled it and re installed a few times, both manually and through the Extension Manager CC.
I am using a Win 7 64bit computer.
I assume there is some change in the scripting part that loads Photoshop from bridge but not sure. It worked fine in CC. Just not CC 2014.
I opened the Dr Browns Services .jsx file but don't see anything obvious. This is the section related to the Image Processor Pro part:
// This routine takes an array of files. If called by Photoshop,
// it will invoke Dr. Brown's Process 1-2-3 with the files. If called by
// any other app, it will send a BridgeTalk message to Photoshop
// to invoke this routine with the same arguments.
drbrownserv.process123 = function (files) {
// Bring Photoshop to the foreground.
BridgeTalk.bringToFront ("photoshop");
// Create a new BridgeTalk message for Photoshop to invoke
// Image Processor with the selected files
var btMessage = new BridgeTalk;
btMessage.target = "photoshop";
btMessage.body = "drbrownserv.process123 (" + files.toSource () + ");";
btMessage.send ();
} else {
photoshop.runActionCommand ('611736f0-9c46-11e0-aa82-0800200c9a66', files);
catch (error) {
if (error.number != 8007) // Don't report user cancelled errors.
drbrownserv.alert (error);

I copied that .jsx file to a new name "Xbytor Image Processor Pro.jsx" edit that file changed the string Dr Browns services to "Xbytor Image Processor Pro" then commented out all the code that added tools menu items but "Image Processor Pro" and I put that file into
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CC\Adobe Bridge" even though Bridge CC is 64Bit seems to use theat location.
Bridge CC was updated by the creative clouds update and opens Photoshop CC 2014 now

Photoshop CC 2014 UI Menu Text And Icon Size?

so i really like that adobe has added the "experimental" option to increase the ui menu text and icon size in photoshop cc 2014, it was almost unreadable on my 2560 x 1440 27" monitor with photoshop cs4 and illustrator cs4, but the lone 200% setting is too big... seems that 125%, 150%, or maybe even 175% would be much better solutions. in fact, for reasons i can't quite understand, the ui text and icon size in illustrator cc 2014 is spot on, absolutely perfect on my monitor, even tho there is no option for increased ui size as far as i can tell, it was spot on the moment i installed and launched it.
in short, the photoshop cs4 and illustrator cs4 user interfaces were identical in size as far as i could tell, and far too small on my 2560 x 1440 27" monitor. in terms of cc 2014, the illustrator ui is perfect out of the box on my monitor, considerably larger than illustrator cs4, while the photoshop cc 2014 ui is identical to cs4, tiny, but can be enlarged 200% which makes the ui too big. why couldn't/didn't adobe just make the photoshop cc 2014 base ui the exact same size as the illustrator cc 2014 ui? it would have been perfect (for my monitor size).

thanks... just wish illustrator cc 2014 wasn't so perfect in terms of ui size, i mean it's just great and, consequently, makes it seem as if the ball was dropped with photoshop cc 2014... i mean how can one be spot on while the other be so far off?
