Did you open a new document or relaunch Photoshop after changing that preference?
Also, have you updated your video card driver from the GPU maker's website?  You should.

  • Photoshop CC 2014 - my workspace keeps going black

    - When working in Photoshop CC 2014 - my workspace keeps going black while i'm trying to work on an image. For example, this morning I was simply trying to add some text to an image using layers but while typing the text in the workspace (the actual image) goes completely black and I have to either click out of it or wait for the image to come back so that I can see what I'm doing. Having used various versions of Photoshop I know this is not normal. Can anyone suggest what my issue could be.

    Your graphics card drivers need to be updated.
    Here's how:
    Upgrade Display Drivers
    Windows OS
    Click Start.
    On the Start menu, click Run.
    In the Open box, type "dxdiag" (without the quotation marks), and then click OK.
    The DirectX Diagnostic Tool opens. Click the Display tab.
    On the Display tab, information about your graphics card is shown in the Device section. You can see the name of your card, as well as how much video memory it has.
    Once you know the kind of graphics card you have, visit the manufacturer's website to download the latest driver. Here are links for downloading drivers from the most common graphics card manufacturers:
    NVIDIA: http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
    AMD: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download

  • Black and white workspace

    I am working with the paint tool in photoshop cs6 and when attempting to zoom in I hit the command key and another unknown key and my workspace suddenly turned to black and white. The small thumbnails of the layers in the layer panel appear to be the right colors, but the workspace is black and white. I don't know how to change it back

  • Workspace in Photoshop keeps going black

    When using the pen tool in Photoshop, everytime I click the workspace goes black. When I searched this it instructed me to uncheck the 'use graphics processor' option from preferences but this has made no difference.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated, especially as I have uni work to get in by Friday.

    Latest version of WHICH version of Photoshop?
    Creative Cloud can install CS6 and CC.
    GPU is your video card chip.
    And which OS version are you using?
    These are not technical questions, just basic usage questions...

  • Can I change the workspace color in Photoshop Elements 12, to Black or dark grey?

    Can I change the workspace in Photoshop Elements 12, to black or dark grey? I do not like the light grey, around my tools.

    You can use PhotoInfo to change the dates on a single or batch of photos. You can even do it within iPhoto by selecting PhotoInfo as the editor to use when you double click on a photo. But iPhoto won't recognize the changes unless it's exported and reimported. You can use PhotoInfo to batch check/change your photos before importing into iPhoto.
    What I've done is to export the full sized images to a folder on the desktop, named the folder the same as the roll they were in, run Photoinfo on the batch and then drag the folder into the open iPhoto. Then delete the original roll. Works fine.

  • Why is adobe premiere cs6 workspace replaced with full black screen?

    Windows 7 Pro.  AMD 3.2 Ghz hexacore, 16 Gb RAM, tons of HD space. Nvidia GPU 470 with Cuda. Dual screen
    Adobe Premiere pro CS6.
    Usually Premiere works fine and i have no problems. However sometimes when I work, I suddendly get a dual black screen. No matter where I click with mouse, the monitors remain black.
    The only way I found to go around is to call Task Manager, then the task bar opens again at the bottom of main screen and by clicking on Premiere icon (which I permanently have there), I can get again my workspace.
    Did others get the same issue, which can be a real nuisance?

    Right click in any open area of the Windows desktop
    Select NVIDIA Control Panel from the popup window
    Select SYSTEM INFORMATION at the lower left corner
    Driver version should be the 1st line in Details
    I have a GTX285 using driver 296.10 and Win7
    Once you post your driver version, someone may be able to tell you if you need either a newer driver, or an older driver because your driver has a "known" problem

Everthing was fine till this morning when I was told there was an update--I want to back in time : (
    HELP!!! I am too busy for this!!
    Thank very, very much!!

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

  • Premiere Pro CC - Multicam going black when exiting/switching workspace

    Hello everyone,
    New poster here. I'm editing footage of a live CD recording and experience trouble with multicam editing.
    First, I synced all my cameras (9) to audio in a first sequence. I then exported each video track of that sequence to low-res, 720p proxies. My hard drives sadly can't cope uo with 9 AVCHD flux playing simultaneously in multicam mode. I then create a second sequence, in wich each track is a different camera angle. I don't use the "Create a source sequence for multicam" feature, beacause I plan to replace the tracks with the HD files once Im done with the multicam cuting, wich I think You can't do with that option. Plus, . Finally, I do the multicam editing in a third sequence.
    The problem: each time I switch workspaces or exit Premiere, some parts of the third sequence show up black, while some stay alright. The cuts are not gone, nor is the camera choice, but for some chunks of the sequence, all the cameras show up black. The tracks in the multicam source sequence are fine, as are the video files. See the 2 screenshots below for more clarity.
    Here, everything wotks just fine (camera 8 is black, was offline at this time)...
    and here, all my clips show up as black, event though the source sequence is fine.
    Needless to say, it's incredibly frustrating. I can't understand why some parts of the edit show up perfectly fine and others don't. Has anyone ever encountered this problem? Found a solution?
    Thaks in advance for the help!

    HI everyone
    I noticed one mote thing for this orblem: the part of my tracks that appear "black" all hve the little triangle markers that indicate the beginning and end of my clips. So, it seems that Premiere believes this part of the timeline to be individual clips and do not see them as cuts of a longer clip. Strange...

  • Running Photoshop CC on iMac w/ 2 monitors. The black application background is stuck to the top left between the 2 monitors, tried  resetting workspaces, new workspaces... no joy. I'd just as soon eliminate it as its always in the way. thanks

    alright. reformat, no longer have and fan-controlling software running, SMC reset, software update, etc. New, precise test using System Load to add a load to the cpu, Hardware Monitor for the temperatures, and TFMonitor for fan speeds. Running both CPUs at 99.5%*, the CPU fan sped up to just over 1500 rpm (HDD and ODD fans stayed relatively the same), from its resting 1198, with the temperatures maxing out at:
    PSU: 176°F (80°C)
    CPU Core 1: 164°F (74°C)
    CPU Core 2: 171°F (77°C)
    System Load and Hardware Monitor (or Temperature monitor) are from: http://ciderhouse.ivory.ne.jp/wp/english/
    and TF monitor is from: http://ciderhouse.ivory.ne.jp/wp/english/
    Now, to someone with more experience than I, are these numbers within reasonable operating range? And if the CPU fan can go as high as 3300 rpm, why would it not go any higher than half that? (smcFanControl reported 3300 as the max before I reformatted, but after reformatting I can't seem to get it to work)
    It just doesn't make sense to me. ....and I'm not fond of the heat radiating off the monitor...
    *I tested it up at almost 100% because with the work I do, I often do run around there. From time to time I do 3D renders and video work, and Photoshop almost never closes on my computer.

  • My workspace background changes color with every key stroke (black, gray, transparent)

    In addition, when I use File>Place, the image comes in solid black until I accept the Free Transform.  I am using Windows 8/PC.

    Best guess is that there is an issue with your video card (most likely needs the driver updated). Go to Preferences > Performance and uncheck the "Use Graphics Processor" option in the lower right under Graphics Processor Settings. Relaunch Photoshop and see if you still run into the same issue.

    hello fellow apple distressers,
    hoping someone can help me as i would really appericiate it:):)!
    everytime i try and open itunes my computer freezes then the screen goes black. after the screen goes black the computer restarts all on its own! when i log back into windows, after it has restarted, it tells me it has recovered from a +serious error+. when i searched for more information it gave me this error signature:
    BCCode : 100000ea BCP1 : 8A1357A8 BCP2 : 8A0AD290 BCP3 : F78BACB4
    BCP4 : 00000001 OSVer : 512600 SP : 3_0 Product : 768_1

    please help as i really need itunes to upload songs on to my ipod.

    thanking you for reading this,

    wow blue screen of death that sounds bad...
    Technically they're called STOP messages (because the PC stops after you get one of them). But "blue screen of death" (or BSOD) is the common terminology (because the PC stops after you get one of them).
    C:\DOCUME~1\Abigail\LOCALS~1\Temp\\WERfd36.dir00\Mini012710-01.dmp
    Good ... we've got the PC generating minidumps of the crashes. So we'll be able to interrogate those using Windows debugging tools to try to work out what is causing the crash.
    First, track down where they are being stored on the PC. Usually that will be in the C:\Windows\Minidump\ directory. There should be files in there with names like "Mini(number-numbers).dmp"
    (If you have "Hide filename extensions for known file types" enabled in Windows, the ".dmp" extension may not appear on the dump files. The numbers in the file name will be different for each minidump, if minidumps are present.)
    Once you've found where they're being stored, we'll have a look at them using windbg.
    1. Download and install the Windows debugging tools from here:
    http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/installx86.mspx
    2. Go to Start, All Programs, Debugging Tools For Windows, Windbg
    Once you open Windbg, you will presented with a blank screen.
    3. Click on "File > Symbol File Path". Here you will enter the symbols
    path. Symbols are needed to effectively debug.
    The path will be:
    SRVc:symbolshttp://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols
    4. Enter in this path and click OK. Now, go to "File > Save Workspace"
    so that your symbols path is saved for future use.
    5. Go to "File > Open Crash Dump" and load the file.
    (An "Open Crash Dump" screen will appear ... doubleclick "My Computer", doubleclick "Local Disk", doubleclick "Windows", doubleclick "Minidump", and doubleclick on one of the minidumps in there.)
    You will/should get a message to save base workspace information. Choose no.
    Now you will get a debugging screen. It takes a little bit to run it,
    as the symbols have to be downloaded as they are needed.
    After the "bugcheck analysis" part of the screen comes up, look for the component that seems to be causing the crash. (It'll say "Probably caused by" ...)
    Let us know the precise name of the component. (Include any file name extensions like .dll or .sys.)
    If you can, have a look at several of your crash dumps. Are all the crashes being caused by the same component? If not, could you let us know the names of the various components being cited in the various crash dumps?

  • Screen goes black for 3 seconds in premiere CS5 every time I click

    This is the first time I run Premiere CS5... On a fresh system install.
    I suspect it's not playing well with my video card, a Radeon HD 4870 with 1GB Ram... Very standard stuff.  I am running window 7 64 bit with 12 gb RAM, a week old build. I have all the updates and latest drivers, sigh. After Effects CS5 runs fine, Maya 2010 runs fine, Quicktime runs fine... What gives.
    Here's what happens: I only need to launch Premiere, right away I get the problem. The screen goes black 3 seconds before the prompt to create a new project. Once I create the project, the application workspace comes in, but if I click any menu, drag a tool window (whatever they are called), the screen goes black 3 seconds then comes back. Its basically impossible to work...Huge drag.
    Update:
    The problem stopped after I went into the 'device settings' in preferences and set the device to 'none'....When I clicked on the device settings panel, my monitor went black, and there was a 'no signal' warning that came up, as if the DVI-D  signal was dead. I was able to restore the signal by hitting ctrl-alt-del which switched me out of Premiere onto the desktop. Clearly, there is some issue with video. I switched back into Premiere and was able then to set to no devices.
    I'm not doing any capture at the moment, but I can only pray that it's some sort of bug related to not having a device connected? I plan on bringing footage from a RED in the next month. I upgraded to CS5 specifically so that I could use more than 4 gigs of RAM and for the new features.

    THank you for sending this.
    I followed the benchmark directions, and I get an error at the final step
    when I run the script:
    line 99
    Error: path not found
    I tried for an hour different things, namely to re run the whole test
    procedure, deleting the output files, etc... he script is looking for
    something in the preview files that it is not finding. I think the procedure
    was written for a previous version, because the metadata settings are
    different in my version of AME, and I don't know how much that affects it.
    Also, AME increments the file names when it renders them so that I did not
    get the right output file names at the first render. I had to turn off
    incrementing and manually name each clip before rendering. The vb scricpt
    looks for these names, so I understand it is important. I can't figure out,
    however, what the script is looking for in the preview folder and not
    finding.
    After spending almost two hours trying to troubleshoot the script, I gave
    up. I can tell you tho that it takes about 6-7 minutes on my box to encode
    all the videos.
