Workspace is dark, can't see brushes etc.

My workspace is very dark, almost black. When I look at the brush selections, pens, etc. they are barely visible (black on grey). Other icons and tools don't show up well either against this darkness. How can I change the (display, view, preferences, or whatever) to set this to white or a brighter color? I also have Photoshop CS and the area around my brushes and tools is a light grey or white. So, what is the problem with PS Elements?

Please send feedback to Adobe, because they don't seem to think this is a big deal. If you have PSE 8, there's a radio button in the preferences to switch between dark and "light", but the light is a medium gray, so that's not a lot of help. For brushes, if you click the hard-to-see arrows on the right of the thumbnail popout and choose Stroke Thumbnail, you get a white background.

  • My screen is dark, can barely see it

    My iphone screen is very dark, I can hardly see the icons on it.

    I would suggest Settings/Brightness but that setting does not get all that dark even when it is all the way to the left.  Can't hurt to look, though.

  • Screen is dark can hardly see

    Screen is dark and can hardly see.Help?

    If not successful then try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults.
    If still the problem that indicates a hardware problem. Likely the backlight or its driver circuits and service is necessary.

  • My workspace is microscopic, can't see any menus or toolbars on my screen. How do I fix this?

    Everything on my screen is miniscule, I can't see any of the menu's or toolbars. It's like trying to read a book with a font of 4, how do I fix this?

    Van, its an ongoing issue for a lot of Windows users, and at this stage there is no ETA on when there will be a fix.  Unfortunately you have chosen the wrong tool for using Photoshop.   You may be able to make something with the info in this thread

  • I reset PRAM and NVRAM and PMU screen on ibook dark can't see

    Hello. My g3 ibook screen was changing from darker to okay. I read the forums about reseting pram and nvram and pmu. So, I reset the PRAM and NVRAM, scren went completely dark. It still would chime and boot up. Witha flashlight you could see desktop. So, I reset PMU, now no chime and still desktop is dark. What happened? I don't have a cable yet to hook it up to an external monitor. I ordered one on eBay, should have this week. What did I do to the ibook? More importantly what can I do to make it work again.

    Does adjusting the angle of the display make a difference? (A little forward or a little back?)

  • IPhone in lost mode, if a person guesses the 4 digit passcode can they see/send messages and contacts etc?

    I have lost my iPhone. Someone has found it. I got an email message when they turned it on and called it immediately. Unfortunately they turned it off, after the first call and now it goes straight to answerphone. It has been in lost mode for three days. My question is simple, if the person guesses the four digit passcode, can they send/see text messages and emails, can they see contacts etc. Do they need my apple id and password to access and use the phone or simply the four digit code?
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards.

    Yes, i appreciate that. I do hope they don't, however the passcode is VERY simple... If they guess or if it was actually taken by someone that knows me or saw me enter the code, then can they use the phone normally once it's entered, will i get an email or will the phone come out of lostmode on the app? Sorry for the repeated question. I will shortly hit the 'this solved my question' button
    Thanks again

  • In CC214 PS Why has adobe removed the "print Size Button"  And why have they made the Brush preview window so small you can't see the effects to accurately adjust them?

    In CC214 PS Why has adobe removed the "print Size Button"  And why have they made the Brush preview window so small you can't see the effects to accurately adjust them?
    These two things need to be remedied in their upgrades because It's become such a bother I've had to revert to older versions of PS.

    Yea, and it's a pain to get to.  What was the rational for removing the print size button?   With the magnifying glass tool selected in older versions of Photoshop you would get a button that says "print size" right next to Actual pixels, Fit Screen, Fill Screen. Now I have to go out of my way and dig for it if I want to see the print size.  Of all the buttons you could have taken away, why not fill screen?  I never use that.
    Besides the point I just downloaded the Oct Upgrade for PS and surprise! Nothing has changed and these are two big black eyes on newer versions of Photoshop.   The Brush preview window is  unchanged in CC but in CC2014 it's basically worthless.  If you apply a texture to a brush you can't properly see the scale of the texture, the spacing, scatter, etc...

  • I have multiple devices in my family. Each of us has an iPhone and an iPad. Is there a way for each of us to have our own Apple ID but one account so we can all get the same music, movies, books, etc. I can't see paying twice for something in the same fam

    I have multiple devices in my family. Each of us has an iPhone and an iPad. Is there a way for each of us to have our own Apple ID but one account so we can all get the same music, movies, books, etc. I can't see paying twice for something in the same family.

    Welcome to the world of digital media. Your can't really transfer it. I don't know what the rules are about transferring to your spouse but I do know that in some cases when you die, your heirs cannot inherit your digital media. This is why there is still an advantage to buying the CD since the usage rights belong to whomever holds the physical media.
    A possible workaround is to burn the songs to a music CD with yout account (tracks only without song titles) and then having your wife upload it as a regular music CD onto her account. It's been a while since i've done this so I'm not sure if it would work now.
    Please note that I'm not advocating copyright and/or TOS violations. I'm only suggesting ways to copy music for your own personal use which has traditonally been permitted. I only did this because I wanted to convert iTunes songs to mp3 files so I could burn them onto a data CD for use in my car. It would make sense that since married couples are a joint entity, this would be personal use.
    Also, I'm not a lawyer so don't take this as legal advice.

  • How can I see in which Group the workspace has been created ?

    Hi,
    The BeehiveOnline Tutorial on slide 7 shows that Workspaces are created within a Group.
    Also the Group Administration screen suggests this as I can indicate that user ABC gets the role 'Workspace Creator' in one Group but same user ABC does not get the role 'Workspace Creator' in another Group. (what else is the purpose of this role within Group Administration)
    But when I created my workspace, the system did not ask in which Group I wanted it to be created, neither can I see in the Settings of the new Workspace to which Group it belongs.
    Can you please help ?
    Thanks,
    Peter

    Peter,
    Workspaces and groups can be confusing - apologies that it was not clear.
    Perhaps some background as to why I described it that way may help.
    BeehiveOnline relies on groups to be self-sufficient - if you are in one group your world of available participants is that group and that group alone. So if you want to create a new workspace and add users they can only be drawn from that group. - hence the workspaces within a group setup. However, if you are in multiple groups then the linkage gets broken as you could add members to a workspace from different groups - if you needed many group to share a repository of read-only info for instance. This is in wide use on BeehiveOnline. Read and Write access is more of a problem as if anyone updates a document or creates one their id will be attached to it and if they are in a group you as a workspace member cannot see it will cause confusion.
    So workspaces are only group restricted if there is only one group. If you have multiple groups you have more scope but have to exercise more care.
    Hope that explains it.
    Phil

  • How do I drag an image or text box to the "workspace" off of my working file but where I can still see the image and text box for future use?

    When I drag the item off of the trifold that I am creating, it just disappears but I still want to use it.  I just need to move it out of the way to modify other portions of the document.

  • In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). I can't figure out how to disable.

    In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). Whenever I try to use a tool,  a blue box appears around the line and I have to double click it to manipulate it, which opens just that line in a semi burred screen where all the other objects are semi-grey in the background. I can manipulate this line in this screen but nothing else at that time which I could do about 5 minutes ago. For exampe, I no longer can join up 2 lines drawn by the line tool together. For some reason this started randomly (probably due to a accidental shortcut combination) and I just can't put it back to what it used to be. I have inserted a video hopefully showing what I mean. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you - Just what I needed

  • Can't see databases in Hyperion Workspace or Web Analysis 9.3.1

    Hi,
    I installed all the components of reporting and analysis (services, ui services, client). I had also installed Shared services, created a user and created an essbase database/application.
    However, when I log on to the Workspace, I can't see any databases (including the sample/demo) in the Workspace or Web Analysis and thus am unable to create any reports. In the manual, it says the following:
    Log on to Workspace, go to Navigate > Explore and Add Database Connection.
    Alternatively, you can do it from the Edit Menu in Web Analysis.
    Unfortunately, the first option doesn't seem to exist, while the Edit menu is disabled in Web Analysis.
    Can anyone please point me to the right direction?
    Thanks a lot!
    KM

    Start in Shared Services
    What have you Provisioned your user with?
    Are there Projects Registered with Shared Services? Have you Assigned Users to those Projects?
    I would suggest you refer to the Hyperion Security Guide as a starting point

  • My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

    My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

    The dark bar is caused by the option "Show metadata below image".
    Check the settings for the metadata overlays in Grid view (basic and expanded) by clicking the little "badge" icon below the Browser and selecting "Edit". Is the filename still enabled in the list? And in a high enough position to have precedence for other metadata tags, if the space does not suffice to show all selected tags?
