Photoshop screws up computer display

I use a PC and for the past 2 months my photoshop program has had a strange issue. Whenever I try to open a photo on photoshop my computer's display starts to glitch and the photo won't show on the program. Even after closing photoshop my display continues to have graphics issues. How do I fix it?

Update your video card driver straight from the website of the manufacturer of your card.  Do not rely on Windows Update or Microsoft.  Those will give you outdated drivers most of the time and will lie to you saying you're up to date when you are not.
That should take care of it, unless your video card is underpowered to begin with.
P.S. Photoshop has nothing to do with the deficiencies of your video card or its driver.

  • After updating iPhoto to 9.2 Photoshop CS2 doesn't display the photo I have opened.  The photo shows in the Navigator on the side panel, but not on the screen.  MFF

    After updating iPhoto to 9.2, Photoshop CS2 doesn't display the photo on the desktop screen, even though the image is shown in the Navigator pallet well to the right.

    No, that is the problem.  I don't see how it should be, but that is what happened after I did the upgrade, which was for iPhoto 9.2.  The upgrade then required that the Library be upgraded.  Then CS2 stopped showing the photo when I opened CS2.  Maybe there was a system upgrade for the whole system, that went along with 9.2.  Before the upgrade CS2 worked.  I even tried photos that I had on backup disks, and they wouldn't show in CS2 even though I had draged them to the PS icon in the dock.  These photos were not on my computer when the Library was upgraded.  I even tried photos fresh from the camera. Elements 9 does work to open the photos.

  • Why is my computer displaying A's  with boxes around them instead of words?

    Why is my computer displaying A's with boxes around them instead of words? Is this the malware virus of today? I can get on the internet but just can't read anything. Please help!

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and the support article linked below for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them, then boot in safe mode* (by holding down the shift key at the startup chime) to rebuild the font caches. Boot again as usual and test.
    Mac 101: Font Book
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode. In that case, after running Font Book, launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    sudo atsutil databases -remove
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. After running the command, reboot as usual.

  • Should i be able to see interlacing on the computer display?

    I'm trying to verify if i have things set up properly.
    If i'm working in a timeline that is DV NTSC and i've brought in elements from after effects and as well have moving images within FCP, should i be able to see the interlaced lines in FCP?
    It looks okay on the broadcast monitor but i'm trying to figure out if interlacing on ftg/renders should be visible on the cinema display.
    a simple yes, no and a sentence if you've got the time would be nice.
    thanks

    You can observe the presence of interlacing on a computer display only if the Canvas (or Viewer) are set to display 100% size and the video is paused. The interlacing will appear as a comb effect on moving objects. You can not observe interlacing with a computer display on running video.

  • 3 versions of Adobe Photoshop on my computer Adobe PS (64 bit) and Adobe PS CC 2014 and Adobe PS CC

    I'm new to all of this CC business.  Can anyone tell me why there are 3 versions of Adobe Photoshop on my computer Adobe PS (64 bit) and Adobe PS CC 2014 and Adobe PS CC. Thanks,

    They are different versions and provided to offer a maximum level of compatibility in case anyone uses plug-ins or peripherals that may not be compatible with the latest 2014 version. Feel free to remove unneeded/ unwanted stuff if you don't fall into that category. Otherwise just leave everything in place - uninstalling and potential reinstalls could make more of a mess than freeing up a gigabyte on your harddrive may be worth...

  • Photoshop window does not display unless connected to external monitor

    I use a MBP connected it to an Apple Cinema Display used as an external monitor (not a dual display) when in my studio.
    When I use Adobe Photoshop CS 5 without the monitor the image window does not display on the MBP. If I plug the external monitor in, the window is displayed correctly on the MBP. Photoshop is opening and "displaying" the image window offscreen. Nothing gets it back onscreen, except plugging in the external monitor.
    I often use Photoshop away from my studio so this is a big problem. PShop is essentially unusable unless connected to an external monitor.
    Is this a known issue?
    Any workarounds?
    Any ideas?
    There is a previous discussion on this topic from January 2012, but it remains open and unanswered. Hoping there are some new ideas. Thanks for the help.

    The MacOS still thinks the second display is available and valid -- so Photoshop puts the documents on the last used display and the OS doesn't give any errors.
    Once the OS notices the change in display configuration, Photoshop should go back to the main display and force images and dialogs back to the main display.
    Applications rely on the OS for the display configuration, and sometimes the OS gets confused or holds onto outdated configurations a bit too long...

    tworules,
    You haven't mentioned the exact version of Photoshop you are running.  As the always helpful and knowledgeable JJMack told you, new versions of Photoshop do have auto save and recovery when enabled in your Photoshop Preferences.
    However, no auto recovery and/or autosave is a match for a defective machine.  As suggested by Mr. Cox, you should do a thorough inspection of all your hardware ASAP.

  • Why does my computer display a spring coloured wheel that stops me from doing anything

    Why does my computer display a spinning coloured wheel that stops me from doing anything, the only way to get rid is to switch off and reload...

    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the BOOT_TIME log message that corresponds to the last boot time when you had the problem. Now clear the search box to reveal all messages. Select the ones logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
    If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Deleting Photoshop from my computer

    I wanted to delete Photoshop from my computer, but mistakenly I've put it in the trash. now there I can't get rid of it.
    Can anyone help?

    It is not clear why you said you mistakenly put it in the Trash. How else would you delete it?
    If the Empty Trash does not get rid of it, it may be running and gives the message the file could not be deleted because it is in use. If it is not in use, it may be locked. To delete a locked file, hold down the option key while selecting Empty Trash from the Finder Menu.
    If you are deleting Photoshop to get more disk space (I can’t think of another reason why you would delete the application) you may want to remove all the other files Photoshop installed on your disk in addition to the application itself.
    I’ve seen on this forum that experienced users have recommended AppDelete and AppZapper to remove an application and all its related files. You could also search VersionTracker.com to find other potential applications for removing programs you have installed. VersionTracker includes comments from users who have tried the applications and how well they worked (or didn’t).

  • Trying to reinstall photoshop cs5 after computer crash

    i need to reinstall photoshop after a computer crash.  i inserted the cd, accepted the conditions, but am unable to enter the product code.  Can enter numbers, but not letters.  I am assuming this is because this is a student/teacher edition.  What do I need to do in order to reinstall Photoshop?
    Thank you,

    It sounds as if you are trying to enter your product code and not your serial number.  If your software is registered then please see http://forums.adobe.com/message/3987968#3987968?promoid=KBHJW for information on how to locate your serial number.
    If you have not registered your software then please see http://forums.adobe.com/message/4635085#4635085 which discusses how to obtain your serial number from your product code.

  • Photoshop CS6 start screen displays circles

    My Photoshop CS6 start screen displays circles around its rectangular shape. Can anyone tell me why?
    I am using version 13.0.4 x64 on Macintosh OSX 10.9.2
    Here is what the screen looks like:

    I was a bit confused myself, because the splash screen with the circles was not something I recognized, but a quick look round revealed the screen above is for CS6 Standard.  The alternative screen turns out to be for the Extended version, and since it is only the serial number that differentiates between Standard and Extended, both splash screens must be on your drive somewhere.

    This list only goes up to CS2, but is fascinating all the same.  Hmmm...  I suddenly feel like my geek factor shot up after typing the last sentence.
