Unable to resize photoshop Window

Hi all,
I have a laptop and use a large external monitor at my work office. When I am not at work, and not using the monitor, I use the screen on the laptop.
The problem is that Photoshop does not resize its windows to fit the laptop screen. Therefore, windows with layers extend below the screen (see attached). Since one cannot adjust the height of a window from its top (only its bottom), I can find no way to return it to being able to fit, and cannot access the icon buttons at the bottom of the window.
Of course, I could trash preferences, or set up a new workspace, but that's quite a hassle of a work around when it seems a window should either automatically shrinkto the screen height, or at least give an option to be resized from its top.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Photoshop CC 2014; Mac OSX 10.8.5

PS. I should have mentioned I've tried:
turning on/off application frame
resizing photoshop application window (green button)
restarting photoshop
double-clicking panel name (but that only collapses it completely)
making screen resolution higher to fit more stuff on screen (already maxed out)
searching the internet for an answer, in this forum, and elsewhere

Color Settings change with resizing Photoshop window

I have been seeing a weird phenomenom with Photoshop lately and I hope someone can help me figure this out. I have been editing photos in Lightroom. I occasionally take a photo into Photoshop for more editing and when I do this, if I make any change to the program window side, the color changes to a darker, more muted looking photo. If I minimize the program, nothing changes. If I either change the window size to a smaller, non-maximized window or drag it to my secondary display, the color changes to what I am guessing is a different color space. The only way to fix this is to shut down Photoshop and restart it. I am sure this is some setting in Photoshop color settings, but not sure. Should I have my color settings set to my monitor calibration file or should it be Adobe RGB? Not sure what Lightroom edits in. I do have it set up to send the file to Photoshop in Adobe RGB.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Toby

Help! Unable to resize partition - Windows XP reverts to old size.

Hi all,
I'm trying to resize my Windoze partition and can't seem to get the new size to stick.
First, I tried CampTune. It proved absolutely useless. I tried simply using it to resize my partitions, I tried using it on an empty Windows partition. Every time I got an error, and the Two Canoes web site doesn't even have a category for CampTune in their help file. Epic fail.
Second, after backing up my original partition using WinClone, I wiped my old partition, used Boot Camp to create a new (larger) partition, restored my Windoze installation into the new partition, and it's still the same size it was before. The Windows partition is the old size, the Mac partition is the new (smaller) size.
Anybody have any idea what I'm doing wrong here? Help!
Thanks!

Hi Jesse,
first: CampTune is not a TwoCanoes product but a Paragon product.
I never used CampTune for resizing, but with WinClone have a look at their FAQs http://www.twocanoes.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=515 under the section *"My current Windows partition is the wrong size, and I want to make it larger. How do I do this?"*
Is your Windows partition using the FAT32 file system or NTFS file system.
With FAT32 you cannot expand the partition size, only with NTFS.

Since update last week, unable to resize popup windows?

I used to be able to right click in the bar above the address bar and click Size and move any one of the sides in or out to resize the popup window. Now since the upgrade, it will let me select Size but won't let me size the window, it doesnt go anywhere. Please help!

Hi hgehring76, were you previously using Firefox 12 (released about 8 weeks ago) or the much earlier Firefox 3.6?
Can you check this hidden preference and make sure it is set to "true": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resizing_popups

Unable to resize window to fit screen

I am having an issue in which some of the windows from a variety of applications no longer fits on my screen, and I am unable to resize the window because the handle for the window (that I would normally click on and drag to resize) is located in an area of the screen that is not currently visible...
Specifically, when using firefox, if I try to add a new bookmark, the add bookmark window appears and the bottom of the window is off the bottom of the screen (even with the top of that window appearing all the way at the top of the screen. Another instance occurs when using a Photoshop plugin called noiseware, in which the top and bottom of the plugin window appear off the screen, thereby making it impossible to access certain features and functions of the plugin...
I have tried trashing the preferences for each application and for the plugin in hopes that that would help, but it does not...I have also attempted the change the resolution of my monitor, but its alread as large as possible...
Does anyone have any suggestions as to ways in which I can go about resolving this issue? Any help would be sincerly appreciated. Thanks!

RESIZING A WINDOW

HI FRIENDS,
I HAVE COPIED A FORM TO ZEE FORM, NOW I WANT TO REZIZE MY WINDOW BUT I AM UNABLE TO RESIZE MY WINDOW IN LANGUAGE EN.
CAN ANY ONE TELL ME HOW TO DO IT.
THANX AND REGARDS,
VENU

hi
good
while copying the window did you copy all the objects related to the particular window. The window you have copied is a sapscript window or a smartforms window.
if it is a sapscript window than you can change the size of the each window by clicking on them ,you ll find out the parameteres that ll help you to do the same.
if it is a smartform window than you can go to that particular window tab and change it accordingly .
thanks

Unable to resize the Edit window in Premier Elements 11

I am unable to resize the premier elements edit window - it just leaves a trail of images of the edit window on the screen when I try to make the window smaller - It doesn't refresh the desktop behind, no problem using and resizing window in Photoshop Elements 11 installed at the same time and also the organise window is resizeable OK just the edit window a problem - any ideas - I am using Windows 7 64 bit?

Full -Computer spec is - Windows 7 64-bit, 8Mb RAM, Processor Intel Core i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10 GHz and graphics card AMD/ATI Radeon HD6570 2Gb RAM - Updated windows and Graphics card driver. When rebooted my windows had gone into an Aero theme and worked OK - but putting back to windows classic - problem returned i.e. Organise editor OK but Video Editor with just New Project and no media added resizing window just leaves a trail around the screen. Put back to Aero theme and now OK again. Tried going into System properties / advanced / visual effects / Show windows contents whilst dragging - and turned off but still did not work with Windows classic theme.
So don't know why it is happening but it is at least a work around - thanks for your help.

I am trying to resize disk space on parallels 6 for windows XP under configure Hardrive and I get the error resizing failed unable to resize last volume the file system of this volume might be damaged or not supported? I am on a Mac using Parallels 6

I have been trying to increase my disk space for windows xp on my Imac and I am running parallels 6. before opening windows I go into configure in parallels and open the hard drive and try to move the allotted disk space from 32 gig to 64 or any other increased gig and then apply and I get the error message: resizing failed unable to resize last volume. The file system of this volume might be damaged or not supported. How do I increase the size?? I just also did a disk repair utility with Apple on the Apple side of my IMAC. Please Help!! I had uninstalled SQL server on the windows side and needed to uncompress files to install this and then I ran short on disk space.

This sounds to me that your Parallels XP file system is corrupted and not the OSX file system.
Have you checked the XP file system while running the Parallels XP yet ?
However, it would be better to ask such question in the Parallels Forum http://forum.parallels.com/

Unable to start Photoshop CS6 - could not open a scratch file because the file is locked (Windows)

When I first installed Adobe Photoshop CS6 I was unable to run Photoshop or Bridge CS6. Photoshop would give me an error about "could not open a scratch file because the file is locked. If I ran either of these programs as an administrator they would run without issue, this led me to believe that there was a permission issue somewhere. After some digging I found out the both Bridge and Photoshop try to create a temp file (similiar to Photoshop Temp2777223910092) on the c:\ drive of the computer. In my case the user that I was logged in with did not have access to write to the root of the C:\ drive. Note that you run the program as the administrator and change the scratch disk location as that changes the preference for the administrator user and not the user that you are currently logged in as.
To get around this issue I first had to give the user that I was logged on with write permissions to the root of the C:\ drive. Next try and run Photoshop, you will get an error another error about the scratch disk and about and invalid or missing setting file. To correct this you need to have run Photoshop as an administrator, next you can go to Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings and copy Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs and/or Adobe Photoshop X64 CS6 Prefs to Users\<your logged in username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings.
Photoshop and bridge should now start up with no issues.
I hope that this can help others out there as this caused me a great deal of frustration when upgrading to CS6.

OK, here comes the explanation of what the scratch disk does and why it's optimal to have it on a physically separate internal drive (not partition!) other than your boot drive
I probably shouldn't say anything since it could complicate this thread, but the rules of thumb can be different under special circumstances when SSD is involved.
IF you have a LOT of empty space on your SSD-based system drive, then Photoshop can actually work great with it's scratch setting pointed at the system drive. This is because a) SSD transfers are much faster than spinning hard drives and b) there's no seek time, so simultaneous transfers to/from scratch and swap files aren't devastating to performance, and you can see a net gain because of the increased I/O throughput over what's possible using a separate spinning drive for scratch.
But if you don't have a huge amount of free space (hundreds of GB) on the system SSD, it's definitely better to use a separate drive, as station_two has said.
Also, up to about a year or so ago, you had to try to severely limit write activity to your SSD drive, since you could actually wear them out by repeated high data write activity. That's pretty much a non-issue now with the advent of things like the SandForce in-drive controller that does wear-leveling inside the drive. Modern drives will last 10 years or more in normal typical use, without special consideration.
As it turns out, making a RAID array of SSDs is a great way to boost performance across the board, have bunches of free space, and ensure even the heaviest usage doesn't shorten the drive life. I have done so, creating a 2 TB system drive C: made from 4 SSDs and Photoshop's swap file (and pretty much everything else) pointed to C:. This system flies, and I can barely tell when Photoshop and/or Windows "goes virtual" and starts using its scratch/swap files heavily. I don't even notice Photoshop auto-saves.
Sorry for the SSD diversion.
Back on topic:
Pretty much everyone who's successfully using a computer - Mac and PC users alike - comes to realize after a while that the task of integrating things on their computers and making everything work falls on THEM, not the developers of applications like Adobe. Some applications pose unique challenges, but to think you can just throw up your hands and try to make it someone else's problem when something goes wrong simply isn't a viable strategy. Maybe that's how things should be, but it's not how it is.
For those of you struggling to get Photoshop to run properly, bear in mind that it's on you to get things working. It works for most folks. It could be a configuration or setup choice you've made that may need revisiting, or some kind of restorative activity that you need to do, or even something very minor like clearing your Photoshop preferences, but it may well take your learning new things and doing things you didn't think you'd have to do to get back to where you can edit photos. It's no one's problem but your own.
So let us here on the forum help you - when we say to do something, try it. We're not here to jerk you around; we're users just like you who have already found the ways to make things work, and we'd like to help you do the same.

Unable to Install Photoshop CS5 on Windows 8

I'm unable to install Photoshop CS5 on Windows 8. A copy of the installation log is listed below. The first time I tried installing, I had Norton 360 enabled, right-clicked the DVD-ROM drive and selected to execute the installer. It failed at about 5%. Then, I uninstalled Photoshop CS5 and uninstalled Adobe AIR, disabled Norton 360, ran the Creative Suite Cleanup Tool, and then rebooted back into Safe Mode. This time, I browsed the DVD-ROM drive, right-clicked on the set-up.exe file and selected Run As Administrator. Same thing as before. It failed at 5%. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

The photoshop window is larger than my computer screen. How do I resize it so I can see the bottom controls? I tried dragging the corner, but it only moves vertically. I need the horizontal to move so I can see the bottom of the window.

Which version of photoshop and operating system are you using?
On a mac, did you try clicking on the Green Maximize button?
On a windows os did you try the Maximize button at the top right of the photoshop window?

Go to system prefs>displays and set your resolution way down. Let OS X open with the new resolution. Then set it back up to the highest available resolution and the window should position itself correctly.
