    on5lb Community Member

      Hello,

       

      Trying to adjust an image, when i open it with Photoshop CS4 Extened, the image stay in the center of the Work Area !

      Unable to move it, using any of the options.

      I must have activate/un-activate some option ?

       

      Any comment please ?

      Regards,

      Jean

          If You want to move the Background Layer’s content You may have to convert it to a regular Layer (double-click it).

          Or are You talking about the display?

            Hello,

             

            Thanks for your reaction,

             

            In fact, when i open the same image (or any one) into Photoshop CS3 or even CS2, the image is included inoi a frame, right, which i can move and open, tho make some clear space around the image.

             

            When i open the same, or any other, image into Photoshop CS4 extended 32 or 64 bits, thete is no frame ad all, and the image is freesen into the center.

             

            Is that the usual way of CS4, or am i missing something ? CS4 Extended is new for me !

             

            Regards,

            Jean

                I gave you a 10/10

                 

                I clicked [ Float All in Windows ] et voilà...

                 

                How simple when you know how to ! Thanks so much John.

                  Hi John, me again,

                   

                  I forgot to ask you:

                   

                  What are you using to take Screen Shots ?

                   

                  Regards,

                  Jean

                    I use SnagIt. It's so much better than Print screen or the snip tool.


                    Try it for free: http://www.techsmith.com/screen-capture.asp

                      To permanently avoid the situation go to Edit > Preferences > Interface > Panels and Documents and uncheck Open Documents as Tabs.

                        May thanks for your help John !

                         

                        I followed your advice, and downloaded SnagIt.

                        I used Arcsoft before, which is included with the drivers for Canon Flat Scanner, but has limited options.

                         

                        I also followed your advice unchecking *Open Documents as Tabs*.

                         

                        It's difficult to know"exactly" how to configure all the several options from "Preferences".

                        Is it somewhere detailed how to proceed ? Not in the "Classroom in a Book" anyway !

                         

                        Tegards,

                        Jean

                          There is no right way. The settings you make are dependent on both your computer hardware and its capabilities and also on the way you work and the functions you use.


                          That's why they are called "Preferences"

                              No problem – we are here to help.


                              If you post your computer specs there are some things that can be defined.


                              for example:


                              Operating System/version
                              Photoshop version number
                              Amount of RAM installed
                              Hard drive(s) capacity and free space
                              Make and model number of video card

                                Right, i accept you proposition

                                 

                                Be aware i'm in computer environment since 1976 ( yes sir !)

                                Started learning all languages from that time: Basic, Fortran IV, Cobol, Fortran 77, Pascal, C/C++ (my favorit !).

                                 

                                But...because of business duties, i stopped in 1993 with programming.

                                 

                                As a manager from a High Tech company (Industrial Quality Control) using Vision Systems Integration, i lost the evolution !

                                 

                                To day, i'm "partially" retired, and do have more time to spend with computers, that's why i need help !

                                 

                                So, my computer (home made, as usual), has the following cofiguration:

                                 

                                Asus P6T WS Professional motherboard;

                                Intel i7 965 core extreme 3.2HGz with Noctua cooler from Austria (great: 9 blades at 900 rpm)

                                12 GB DDR3 (Tripple at 1600)

                                nVIDIA Quadro FX 4800

                                One 147GB VelociRaptor bootable using Windows 7 64bit Professional (not sure it's a good idea) !

                                Two Seagate SAS 450GB (storage)

                                 

                                Plus all possible applications...!

                                 

                                I use it mostly for personnal images.
