Photoshop CS4 Menu toolbar display bug and fullscreen slowness...

http://img384.imageshack.us/img384/8202/menutoolsbugee3.gif
I'm having a display bug with the menu toolbar in Photoshop CS4 Extended. Notice the area of tools is gone and replaced by random pixels? This happens whenever I enter the fullscreen mode that hides the interface. And when I exit that fullscreen mode, that bug appears and doesn't fix itself until I restart Photoshop. Can this be fixed?
Image view rotation also happens much slower than normal in that fullscreen mode when interface is hidden. But performs normally after I bring back the interface.
I'm on WinXP, Athlon 64 4000+, 3GB ram, GeForce 6800 GT video card [driver 169.21]. I'm not sure if this is a video driver bug or CS4 bug.

Yeah, Dave, I can understand how that can happen. I've seen that sort of weirdness when I've seriously overtaxed my hardware.
 
 Had way too much running all at once yesterday, switched over to Firefox, and clicking on folders in the Bookmarks bar, I had 4 bookmark/folder menus dropped simultaneously.
 
 I managed to grab a screenshot with 2 of them showing, but man! You shoulda seen it with 4!
 
 I ESC'ed out, quit GarageBand (had a song project of several hundred MB going) and all was fixed.

Menu/Toolbar Display Corruption Upon Resizing Window

We're experiencing an issue with one of our workstations where when the Adobe Reader X (10.1.3) window is resized, the Menu/Toolbar displays become corrupt and garbled on the screen (see the attached picture). The Toolbar appears on the top, the frame around the application disappears, and the menubar has to be hovered across for items to appear.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe Reader, updated the video card drivers, and ensured all Adobe/Microsoft updates have been applied to this workstation.

Was curious to how you were able to change the display resolution - I am unable to even see anything on my desktop... I have connected my power book to another monitor but have the same result.

Re installing Photoshop CS4 on an upgraded computer and it will not accept serial number

Re installing Photoshop CS4 on an upgraded computer and it will not accept the serial number. Unable to deactivate Photoshop before upgrading computer due to hardware failure. Note that Adobe Photoshop CS4 New Install Bundle package consists of the new Photoshop CS4 Upgrade bundled together with the qualifying product, in this case an Adobe Photoshop CS2 License. I have tried both the CS2 and CS4 Serial numbers and both have not worked.

Photoshop CS4 Extended, issues with resolution and font sizes on Mac

I have Photoshop CS4 Extended, which worked fine on my old 15 inch Macbook Pro, I think it was 2011 and had high definition display.
I now have a new 15 inch 'late 2013' Macbook Pro with retina display (2880 x 1800), and OS 10.9.4
I have 2 problems:
1) Using photoshop now, the resolution is a lot worse than with my old computer, even though my screen is higher resolution.
For example, the images themselves are worse resolution on my display, far less crisp and more pixelated than any of my other programs. And even the windows such as 'save as...' screens are terribly pixelated also. Is there a way to fix this?
2) When using the type tool, I cannot find how to change the size of the font. There used to be numbers which I could change, and also select the font type, both on the top menu bar always visible. Now there is not anymore. What there is there at the top, is what looks to be a bar on top of another bar. The top layer bar is on the left and reaches about one third of the way across the top, and I can drag it by its corner so it can extend more, but not less. It looks like there are things behind it which I cannot see, because it is over the top of them. Perhaps the text size and font options are stuck behind that. What can I do?
Many thanks!
Justin

Hi JJMack, you said "Seems like you want a low resolution display hook and external display to it." I do not know what that means. I did a google search for "low resolution display hook" and it came up with zero results. Also I do not have an external display, only my laptop.
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this issue? I would greatly appreciate any solution.
Thank you!

Photoshop CS4 - Menu bar background is showing as black

Hi all,
I've been attempting to change the background colour of the menu bar of my photoshop, for some reason instead of being a white background with black text, i have the below.
The machine I am running has:
Photoshop CS4
Win 7 64 Bit
4GB of Ram
Any help would be really be appreciated, thank you for you time,
Kris

If you have not set an oddball theme on the desktop (which Photoshop mostly ignores), it could be that you have a video driver glitch.
I think the first thing I'd try is this: Right-click on the open desktop, choose Personalize, then save your current theme. Now select the Windows 7 theme, just to make sure everything's set in a known way.
Does the problem persist?
If so, then it's likely a video driver update will help... Visit the web page of the maker of your video card, locate the latest driver version for your hardware and version of Windows, download, and install.

Photoshop CS4 - Saving file displays a Quicktime Preview Error

Hi,
I recently transferred my system from an iMac to a Macbook Pro (OS X 10.6.3). Everything seems to work except every time I now go to save a file in Photoshop (CS4) it displays a message: "Could not build a preview because of a problem with Quicktime"
I've searched forums, un-installed and re-installed Photoshop and still no fix. Even setting save Preview to 'never' in Photoshop Preferences does not help. Has anyone seen this? Is there a preferences or permission that I need to fix or trash in Quicktime?

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your reply. I also tried reinstalling Quicktime X from the install disk (using the Pacifist application), still did not fix. I did however find that setting the Save preview preferences then closing and re-starting Photoshop does sort of fix the problem. With the Macintosh preview disabled the message does not appear so yes I would say it's an OS problem.
Would still be nice to know if there is an actual fix, as yet I haven't seen the error in any other application.
Update: I also found 'copy to clipboard' and 'paste into PS' also did not work! So after a day of erasing the MacPro hard drive and re-installing the OS and all applications from scratch everything seems to work correctly. Seems Apple's migration from one computer to another really doesn't work that well.

Photoshop CS4 in Windows 7 bug runing batch actions

I been using Photoshop CS4 in Vista with no problems, but now my problem is when I installed windows 7 and opened 60 photos and apply an action and try to do other things while PS is working in the batch, when I try to change to other window I get back to Photoshop until it finishes the action batch task to the 60 photos I can't change of window or use anything else did anyone have the same problem ? Is this a Windows 7 or PS bug ?
Thanks

Aperture 3 Display Bug and Export to Flickr Bug

Has anyone else experienced this issue, and if so what systems do you have and what graphics card are you using?
The issue is the way images are displayed in Aperture. There seems to have been a change in the anti-aliasing between 2 and 3 so than now images with strong highlights display nasty aliasing artefacts and black ringing around highlight edges. It's as if Images are being over-sharpened. Also, when you first move to an Image it displays perfectly fine while it’s loading then when it’s finished it pops into the over sharp aliased version.
I'm having this issue on my iMac 24" running a ATI RadeonHD2600. It seems to only show when the onscreen display is zoomed out to 25% or less. If you go to fullscreen the artefacts disappear on landscape oriented images but remain on portrait. If you zoom in, once you pass a certain zoom factor they disappear.
I have posted some samples of the artefacts here - as well as what they should look like.
http://www.thomas-fitzgerald.net/2010/04/28/aperture-3-is-really-ticking-me-off/
and here
http://theapertureblog.com/2010/03/29/aperture-display-bug/
The bigger issue is that when exporting using the built in fickr tool it uses the same antialiasing and so over sharpens and degrades images the same way.
The problem is not always apparent and it really only shows with images containing high contrast areas, particularly if they clip to white. I would really like to know if this is limited to certain graphics cards as I've talked to someone who has this issue when using the faster gfx card on their macbook pro but not when they turn on the slower one.
If I need to upgrade my mac to make this issue go away then so be it but I'd really like to hear form others who may have seen it?

I have had issues with Aperture's anti-aliasing performance in the Viewer since version 1.5.
To summarize, Aperture's Viewer produces quite jagged edges from Canon RAW files compared to Preview's and Lightroom's renderings of the exact same files. There doesn't seem to be any radical improvements with the 3.x upgrades, and aliasing performance didn't seem to be affected by the updates to Apple's Canon RAW converter (I reprocessed). Images that I had a problem with are still problematic.
I thought that [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=669881&tstart=0] referring to Aperture 1.5 laid out the issues pretty clearly and I was surprised at how little other users were affected by it (or so I infer from the number of responses.)
Until your post I had not looked specifically at Aperture 3.x. I haven't been able to exactly reproduce the issues I had (so many versions ago...) in Aperture 1.5 and it seems the situation has improved a bit.
Aperture still produces a much sharper rendering than Preview, though the aliased edges are not as prominent. To recap from Aperture 1.5:
!http://homepage.mac.com/steve_hoge/.Pictures/AliasedApertureRender.tiff!
And here's what I see in Aperture 3 on the same image:
!http://homepage.mac.com/steve_hoge/.Pictures/aliasedA3.tiff!
Which looks about the same to me on near-horizontal lines, but much better on the high-contrast vertical lines (check upper left corner of the frame).
And today's Preview 5.0.2 rendering of the RAW image is even softer and less contrast-y than back in the day:

Photoshop CS4 won't recognize file and won't save

Help! I have Photoshop CS4. I have had trouble in the past with photoshop not recognizing my raw files from Nikon (NEF). Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. Now I can't get PS to save any file, jpeg or ps. Can anyone help me please?

Please read this FAQ for advice on how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/419981?tstart=0
• What exact version of Ps CS4 are you using? 11.0.2?
• Exact version of the OS?
• You are not working over a network, are you?
• Have you tried creating a fresh, new account and logging in as a different user?
• Have you Repaired Permissions with Apple's Disk Utility?
• Check the read and write permissions on the folder(s) and volume(s) to which you are attempting to save.
This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

Why is my Photoshop CS4 not installing both 64 and 32 bit versions?

Hello,
I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit.
I purchased and downloaded Photoshop CS4 Extended and it installed as a 64 bit program. Now I need a 32 bit version also (for some Nik plugins), but the installer didn't install the 32 bit version (it would be in Program Files (x86). It should have installed both as a default.
Also, I didn't change the default pathing as I know that can screw the install up.
I ran the install program again and it runs through the complete install without giving me the Options Panel to select which version 64 or 32 (or both) to install.
Should I completely uninstall PS and reinstall to see if I get the install Options Panel? Other Ideas?
Thanks!
Chris

"it is not possible to just install the 32 bit version without an uninstall?"
It's a great idea, but I don't know how. I have the downloaded the PS CS4 file from Adobe that I used to originally install PS. I re-ran this install program and it reinstalled the same 64bit program that I already have; it never gave me any options as to which version to install.
I'm think I'll just have to de-activate, uninstall, reinstall to get the PS install Options Panel.

Menu parameter, display text and filter by ID

Is it possible with a parameter of type menu to display the text that has meaning to the user
But when filtering in my query send the ID's of the items the user selected in the menu?
For example I have a catalog with 50 reason descriptions in my DB, every reason description has an ID
So I display the 50 reason descriptions so that the user selects whatever he wants
When he runs the report how can I get the ID's of the reason descriptions he selected?
Thanks and Regards

for All option:
select description, id from table
union all
select "All", -999 from dual
in the query SQL:
where
colum1 = decode(:parameter1,-999,colum1,:parameter1)
for Multiple selection:
colum1 in (decode(:parameter1,-999,colum1,:parameter1) )
example to create a report:
1.create a list:
select rownum || '-' || t.tname tname, rownum tnum from tab t
union all
select 'All' tname, -999 tnum from dual
order by tnum
2. create a parameter using above list
3. create a data model with following sql:
select rownum || '-' || t.tname tname, rownum tnum from tab t
where rownum in ( decode(:PM_doc_id,-999,rownum,:PM_doc_id))
4. generate the layout
5.view this report to verify it.

When I open Photoshop CS4, Terms & Condition comes up and does not open after accepting.

I have adobe Photoshop CS4 that I used only 2 or 3 times. When I try to open it this time, by clicking on the program icon, it starts a Terms & Condition Window with Cancel decline or Accept. clicking any one of these three choices would not open the Photoshop. What do you think is the problem. I may not know much about Photoshop but I am a computer savy. Feel free whatever level of computer/software you want to use. I just need a solution.
Thank you for all of you people's efforts.

Photoshop CC 2014 critical display bug

BUG REPORT
I use Windows 7 x64. I have a very powerful machine, 32GB blah blah blah
Using Photoshop CC 2014, while in cropping mode and attempting to zoom with keyboard CTRL+ and CTRL-, I got an error pop-up and a severely botched document display:

My performance settings: http://i.imgur.com/Sjvkd25.png
PS didn't crash. I simply clicked ok and it recovered. But it kept doing it while trying to crap. Though, it didn't prevent me from cropping.
This is the original image PS is trying to display: http://i.imgur.com/WqFS5sf.jpg

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

Apex 4.2.1 - mobile theme display bugs and Cascading LOV bug

I've setup a test at http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=35331 - username/password is test/test
Simple page to show some issues I'm running into. Wondering if work-arounds exist or if a patch would be available before we'd go live.
First and second issue are the same I believe. So - a normal text box (label1) looks fine. But, Label2 is a Display only item and Label3 is a read-only select list item. As you can see - both of the values appear smack dab right beside the label and not in line with the other fields. It's totally ugly and not usable as is. I've tried to move this over, but the label goes with it. I can see no way of doing it, but wondering if there's some hack I can put in to solve it...
The last issues is with a cascading LOV. Simple table setup. Static on the first, the second a simple query that filters on the first. If you set the select list to Value Required and not to display null values - then when you click on the Second List button - it just hangs. The page is unusable. I suspect this has to do with the null or something. But - doesn't appear to matter if anything is chosen. Note - if the list is large - which I think then uses a different UI control, this is fine. Only when one of the lists is small does the issue reproduce.
Any workarounds or fixes? Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
I would suggest to not mix different questions and a thread for each of them. Makes it easier for others to follow.
About your problem with the cascading LOVs, it appears that this is/was a bug in jQuery Mobile which we use under the hood. I was able to reproduce the problem with APEX 4.2.1 using jQM 1.2.0, but was not able to reproduce it with APEX 5.0 which will use jQM 1.3.0RC1 or higher. The problem occurs if a select list is empty.
There are different workarounds available:
1) set the attribute "HTML Form Element Attributes" of P1_CLOV_2 to data-native-menu="false"or
2) set the attribute "Display Null Value" of P1_CLOV_2 to Yes and "Null Display Value" to - select - (or something similar). The "Value Required" = Yes will still guarantee that a value has to be picked. Having the extra null entry will guarantee that the select list always contains an entry, that seems to workaround the bug in jQuery Mobile.
I have filed bug 16355963 - jquery mobile: empty select list causes javascript error
to track that this is definitely fixed in APEX 5.0.

Patrick
