Photoshop document size problem.

When I set the display settings to make more working space, Photoshop CC is showing wrong document size. It's scaling down both interface and the very document, what it shouldn't... it should scale down only the interface, and leave the document size as it is.
Example:
If I make a document 2880x1800px in size (the resolution of retina screen), and set it on 100% zoom in Photoshop CC, it will be displayed on approx. 70% of the screen!? The only way to display document size properly is setting display settings on "Best for Retina", but than I have no room to work, it's same screen estate as a 10 year old macbook pro 15.
Is there a solution for this nonsense? Thanks guys!

Unavoidable. An image consists of pixels. Photoshop is rounding to the nearest whole pixel.

Document size problems in CS4 after Yosemite upgrade

Whenever I go to make a new document it is created at 1/10 the size that I input. I'm attempting to make a file now that is 8.5x11 @ 300dpi, and the document created is 0.85x1.1 @ 30dpi. Yes, I know all I have to do is move the decimal, but when I go to resize the file, the sizes won't constrain and only one dimension will be off. Anyone know what might be causing this? Any fixes?

Please let me know how it turned out.
I may be fielding more of these questions.

Photoshop 11 Size Print -out Problem

I have recently purchased and installed Photoshop 11 and I am having problems with my print-out. I am specifying an A5 size print, it is being shown on the preview as being 1/2 of A4 but is printing out as a 6" x 4" . I have tried thios several times but I am unable to overcome this problem. Is this a program error or can you offer me a solution for this problem?
Best regards, Evan Thomas

Make sure that 'Scale to fit' is not checked in the print-dialogue box, and that the scale is set to 100% (bearing in mind that your document size must be correctly set in Photoshop before you print).

Font size in Photoshop document looks larger than it should be?

I am designing a web site in Photoshop. No matter what font I use, the size looks too big. For example, I have to make my font size 6px in my photoshop document even though the actual font size i'm going to use on the website is 11px. My document size is 1024px by 768px. I am viewing at 100% and my screen resolution is set to 72 px/in. I have asked my instructor and he doesn't have this problem but doesn't know how to fix mine. Is there something in my preference i should change? I would really like to be able to use the actual font size in my document as I would for my actual site.
Also, this happens in both of my PC and the Mac at school. Let me know if there are other information I need to say. Thank you in advance!

Aside from what Noel said, keep in mind that font size covers the em box of a font, meaning its maximum upper and lower height, not just the visible content and that that relation is different for each font. In order to e.g. produce a 11px high glyph on a 72dpi device, the actual font may be designed with 14pt in mind and you will have to use that size.

Copy & Paste From Illustrator to Photoshop not matching document size

I just recently reformated my computer and I've been having an issue with copy and paste from Illustrator to Photoshop. Before I could copy a 2"x2" vector box from Illustrator into photoshop making a new document and the size and resolution would match. That is the new document would say 2"x2" at 300 ppi in photoshop and the preset would read "clipboard". I would then hit ok and paste and it would match perfectly. Now since I've reformated, photoshop always creates a new document with the wrong size regardless of the settings I enter in Illustrator or photoshop. I have document raster and effects set at 300 ppi in Illustrator and I have the new document set at 300 in photoshop, but it always transfers the 2"x2" box as some other size no matter what resolution I change it too. Again this used to work before so I'm assuming there is some setting I forgot about. Does anyone know? The main issue is the clipboard preset is not matching the document size, its almost as if Illustartor is telling photoshop it's a different resolution when it's not. Copying to 72 ppi seems to have no issue, which makes me think Illustrator just isn't sending it out at 300 ppi, but I don't know why as I have the document set at 300 ppi.

Have you found an answer that wasn't posted here yet? I have the same issue.

Problems with copy and paste document size

Using Adobe illustrator I have been copying images from a .pdf and then pasting in photoshop having made an action script which does : -
>Make New document
preset clipboard
>Paste
with aa
as: smart object
center: center
Translate 0, cm , 0cm
>Save
As JPEG
Quality 12
Matte: none
In E:/my documents....
with copy
most of the time it works but occasionaly pasting into photoshop the clipboard size is wrong it makes it much much smaller,
even if i bypass using the script and copy from illustrator and in PS try Ctrl N and Ctrl V.
Sometimes also clipboard isnt even selectable it wants to use a specific document size.
The only way I can fix it is close down Ai and PS, launch Ai and PS, copy in Ai then in PS press Ctrl N for New, choosing clipboard, Ctrl V to paste enter to confirm, then it seems happy and I can then carry on using my Actions or manually pasting to my hearts content.
My question is what is causing it to have this quirk, how can I avoid it if possible or is there no avoiding it?

>> How can I have dreamweaver hold format with

Generally a bad idea. Word's HTML formatting is notoriously
flawed. And,
HTML doesn't allow tabs. You probably need to take time to
learn (X)HTML &
CSS before going further. You seem to be headed for disaster
if you expect
to just grab text from Word and plop it into a web page with
good results.
Web pages are in an entirely different world than Word docs.

Problem with Document Size After Exporting

I created an 8 x 10 document with a .125 inch bleed. When I export it to a pdf, I made sure the crop marks and the use document bleed settings boxes were both checked as they should be. However, when I look at the document size in my pdf, it is about 7.5 x 9.5 rather than the 8.25 x 10.25 it should be (cutting on the crop marks should make it 8 x 10). Any ideas on what could be the problem? Thanks for the help!

Where are you seeing this reduced size?

Problem with document size and images in KM Repository

Hi,
We get a problem in KM that when we upload documents example pdf and so we donot get respective document icon and also the document size always shows as 0 Bytes.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Manish

Hi Manish,
I just uploaded a PDF, 2.8 MB. It appears, /irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/etc/public/mimes/images/pdf.gif appears, 2.8 MB are shown.
You are using the standard KM "Folder - New - Upload" component? If yes, it's just a bug. If you use your own component, it's a bug too but then on your individual site.
Here it is tested on EP6 SP2 P4 HF6 / CM6 SP2 P3 HF4.
Hope it helps

When dragging an image onto a fresh canvas, the resizing feature presnaps the image into the canvas size. I can confirm that this has not happened to me in previous projects. I've also tested this problem by making a new larger document size and dragging

Contexts: I am very competent with GFX and have worked on many projects.
When dragging an image onto a fresh canvas, the resizing feature presnaps the image into the canvas size. I can confirm that this has not happened to me in previous projects. I've also tested this problem by making a new larger document size and dragging in the same render. It snaps again. I don't want to re-size from the canvas dimensions, I want to resize from the render's original dimensions.

Problem with setting up document size to thousandth of an inch

When I'm **** book covers I need to make my document size correct to the thousandth of an inch. For example, a recent cover is supposed to be 13.235. Instead, the measurement that holds rounds up to 13.24. I'm assuming there's a default somewhere that needs changing, but don't know how to find/change it . . .? THANKS.

use this small script to determine the actual size down the gazillionth of an inch. Here I created a doc 13.235" x 6.5/8"
var idoc = app.activeDocument;
alert("doc width : " + idoc.width/72 + " inches\rdoc hieght : " + idoc.height/72 + " inches");

When Place Image in Photoshop, error msg: 'Problem with Photoshop CS6 caused program to stop working

When I 'Place Image' in Photoshop, the following error msg comes up: 'A Problem with Photoshop CS6 has caused the program to stop working, close programme?'
Do I need to adjust my set-up to run this? The PC operates on a 32-bit system/Windows 6.

You need to provide much more info: What files are you trying to place into what document? What are the document sizes, resolution, color mode etc.? Anything else we should know about? This could be a million things from color profile issues to color space mismatches to the files to be placed being damaged or badly structured or a importer module being broken. Also provide exact system info and crash logs:

Clipboard from IllustratorCC 17.1 no longer creates "New File" document size in PhotoshopCC 14.2

This is a headache and a half:
Typically (Before Photoshop CC Upgrade 14.2 and Illustrator Upgrade 17.1.0) the CMYK Vecor Objects copied from Illustrator would provide an exact document size when creating a new Photoshop Document with Preset: Clipboard.
In this sample (which worked days before perfectly) the vector object I have in my clipboard is 70"x34.5". It would have opened up a New Photoshop document at 70"x34.5" and I'd select any resolution I wanted. Now, it seems to be copying "Pixels" only from Illustrator. Meaning it gives me only the width of 16.703" x 8.273". This is the correct proportion, but not the correct size. Now I can not do basic tricks in PSD and bring them back over to AI the same exact size as before.
This is a headache and a half. I have tried changes in AI to the Clipboard preferences, turning off SVG Code for the Clipboard.
This does not solve it:
In Photoshop I can not find any preference that talks about file handling or clipboards.
Temporary Workaround:
My solution to this is to have to remember my actual dimensions from AI and create my new document by inserting all the information exactly, before pasting the Vectors into Photoshop. This complicates and slows down my workflow.
Second Solution:
Saving my artboard to PDF and reopening the artboard into Photoshop seems to retain the original document size data. Still a few extra steps that I never had to make since Photoshop 3.0
I formally request that the Adobe Team figure out this Clipboard issue from AI to PSD.
This is not for a lack of understanding of Pixels vs. Vectors. Don't reply with questions to that effect. I know what I am doing here folks.
Thanks.

Sounds to me like you are pasting it as a path. (I paste as pixels).
But the problem is that you are changing the ppi, while leaving the dimension in total pixels. Before you change the PPI, change the width and height to inches or mm or cm, then change the ppi, then it should paste in just fine.
Case in point, right now I have a clipboard file that is 125 x 28 pixels at 72 dpi. If I change the dpi to 300, the file will still only be 125x28 pixels. If I change the paramaters from pixels to inches 1.736 x .389" - then I can change the resolution to 300ppi which gives me a file that is 521pixels by 117 pixels.
Now the issue for me is that I have to do this for EVERY file I paste over from illustrator, when prior to the 'update' any new document would be created at the same resolution as the previous document I was working on. So if I was working on 1200 ppi files, the next new one I would make would also default to 1200 ppi regardless of what was in the clipboard.

PSE 9.0 error: ".....not a valid photoshop document"

Platform is XP Pro...camera is Canon compact digital.
I downloaded photos to desktop folder. PSE allowed me to open the first 3 photos from the folder to edit, then I got the above error message.
However, when I right click on the photo in the desktopp folder to "open with Photoshop Elements" the PSE 9.0 editor opened all the photos.
WHY?
TIA,
Doc

I know this thread is a bit old, but I wanted to share my experience and solution in case anyone else runs into this.
The other day, I spent many hours editing some photos for a client. I saved them all and closed Photoshop. When I tried to open the .PSDs, they all came up with this "Not a valid Photoshop document" error. I was freaking out. I could see the thunmbnails and previews with the MacOS Finder and could see the images just fine in Lightroom, but couldn't open them in Photoshop CC.
Finally, I remembered that these were NOT supposed to be .psd files! They were supposed to be TIFFs. What happened was, when I edited them from within Lightroom into Photoshop, they opened as TIFFs. However, when I did "save as", I wanted to name them similarly to some other files I had. I clicked on one of the existing files to copy the file name in the Save As dialog to make it easier to name the new file I was saving, but I didn't realize it was changing the file extention from ".tif" to ".psd" as well. The older MacOS (version 9 and earlier) didn't rely on file extensions fo identifying file types, so it didn't hit me right away that this would be the problem. When I changed the incorrect .psd file extension to .tiff, the files opened in Photoshop just fine.
SO... if you run into this "Not a valid Photoshop document" error, try figuring out if it's actually another file type (.jpg, .tif, .png, etc) by either getting the file info from another program or just experimenting with different file extensions. Chances are good that your file isn't actually corrupt, but just named improperly!

Not a valid photoshop document after time machine recovery and reinstall of photoshop

After a time machine recovery most of my photoshop documents recovered fine, however there are a select few (and my most recent work unfortuantely) that seem corrupt. It isn't all of my documents. Trying to recover them again from back-up doesn't seem to be working. I did have to reinstall photoshop CS4 after the recovery.
I have seen similar questions on here but none of the solutions have worked. I've tried opening with other programs, I've tried changing the file extentions etc. If the files were just corrupt recovering them from time machine should fix the problem. Many thanks if you can assist.

…but it doesn't feel like corrupt files are the problem…
If it's only a few selected files that are misbehaving but others do open without problems, then you do have file corruption in each of those files.
Go back in time machine to the earliest possible date after each file was created and restore only that particular version of the file.
If that doesn't work, then considered the files irretrievably lost. What kind of error message do they return when you try to open them?
In any event, it's imperative that you check the SMART status of your drive and Repair Drive (or at least Verify Drive) to check for a failing drive.
As an aside, taking a belt-and-suspender approach, it's my practice to supplement Time Machine with a clone of my working drive and daily backups of my files. For some reason, I've had three Time Machine disks fail on three different Macs and locations in the last six months or so.
I had Time Machine disabled on all my Macs until I decided to give it one more test run on a 65-lb Mac Pro recently. I'm not convinced one way or another yet, so all other Macs still have TM disabled for now. Time Machine is very intrusive, and the external TM drives run much, much hotter than external storage files—always a troubling sign in my book.

"Error: Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document." How can I fix this on a mac?

I was working on a project and I closed it after saving and closed photoshop. Then later when I came to make another adjustment to my PSD I opened the file and it said "Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document." How can I fix this? I didn't shut off my mac while saving it. Someone please help

Okay, I just talked to the person that originated the document.
When this usually happens to me, it's because I've done something stupid like saved a .jpeg as a .psd. So that's what I tried. I tried a few other extensions as well, so I thought that it was not an extension problem. Well, the originator told me it had originally been a TIFF, which was the ONE FILE EXTENSION I DIDN'T TRY. :\
Anyway, that fixed it. Usually this error indicates either a corrupt file or the wrong extension, just in case anyone ever digs this convo up later.
