1. Re: Showing several images on screen
Bill Hunt Sep 16, 2012 2:50 PM (in response to on5lb)If I understand correctly, you want to switch from Tabbed View to Tiled View. Let us know if that change does what you want. IIRC, Tabbed View became the default with about PS CS 5, and has tripped up many.
Good luck,
Hunt

teribithia Sep 16, 2012 9:00 PM (in response to on5lb)Yes it is no way to display the >2 photos in the same photoshop CS6 frame. But you can open it in different frame in Fireworkds and CS6.

R_Kelly Sep 16, 2012 9:49 PM (in response to on5lb)For tabbed documents look under Window>Arrange in photoshop cs6.
Those options were moved to the window menu from the application bar.

5. Re: Showing several images on screen
on5lb Sep 17, 2012 9:18 AM (in response to Noel Carboni)Thanks all of you, but my Window (Fenêtre in french) give me a grey unusable Arrange option !
Does not react when i click it ?
Why, for god sakes, did Adobe moved it from the menu bar ? (they like to use there power for sure !)
Whit CS4 i have no problems, but i ned it with Ps CS6 because of image analyses to be compared !
I did alredy a update, but no way.
Why is "Arrange" not reacting ?
Regards,
Jean

6. Re: Showing several images on screen
conroy Sep 17, 2012 11:12 AM (in response to on5lb)If you are in a mode such as Free Transform or editing Type then you won't be able to arrange document panes or windows. Is the word "Arrange" always grayed-out in the Window menu?
I think the bar containing arrange options was removed to reduce the maintenance responsibilities of the developers.

Noel Carboni Sep 17, 2012 11:26 AM (in response to conroy)Good point, there are menu items that make sense even for one document, but I wasn't sure exactly which menu items on5lb was referring to, so I thought I'd toss that out anyway. Maybe I'm doing too much reading between the lines in an attempt to be eagerly helpful.

Sudarshan Thiagarajan Sep 17, 2012 11:26 AM (in response to conroy)The 2-up Horizontal and other tiling options will become available only when you have more than 2 documents open

11. Re: Showing several images on screen
conroy Sep 17, 2012 11:28 AM (in response to Sudarshan Thiagarajan)Did you look at my screenshot? One document is open and tiling is available. It can be set so that, in future, multiple documents will be tiled.

12. Re: Showing several images on screen
conroy Sep 17, 2012 11:33 AM (in response to Noel Carboni)Noel, on5lb seems to say that the word "Arrange" is unavailable. For me, it always is available (as long as Window menu itself is available), even when Ps is working modally (e.g. Free Transform") although the only item available in the submenu then will be "Minimize".

13. Re: Showing several images on screen
Sudarshan Thiagarajan Sep 17, 2012 11:35 AM (in response to conroy)My friend, that is not how it works. These are not 'check'able options. They're one time functions. Try opening more than 1 document, click on Tile All or Tile 2-up (with 2 documents) or Tile 3-up (with 3 documents) and they'll get tiled. While you do this, you will notice the 3-up, 4-up and 6-up will get enabled only when you have 3, 4 or 6 documents open and not before that. This is logical - the functions in Arrange menu are one-time functions and not a preset option.
-
14. Re: Showing several images on screen
Noel Carboni Sep 17, 2012 11:38 AM (in response to conroy)Right, and because of a possible language barrier or just haste sometimes people express things incompletely.
I agree, the Arrange menu is visible. The 2-Up Horizontal is not unless 2 or more documents are open.
Imagining that maybe on5lb was thinking the multiple document display mode is some kind of modal default, perhaps he/she is looking for the function to be available even with no documents open. So I was going to say "You DO have to have a document open", but then because the thread is about showing several images on screen I changed the wording to "more than one".
Sorry for any confusion.

15. Re: Showing several images on screen
Sudarshan Thiagarajan Sep 17, 2012 11:44 AM (in response to on5lb)Anyway, coming back to Jean's (on5lb) question, do you guys think it may be a corrupt installation? How about clearing preferences and relaunching? Or, maybe a fresh install?

16. Re: Showing several images on screen
conroy Sep 17, 2012 11:48 AM (in response to Sudarshan Thiagarajan)Sudarshan, you are correct, these are not sticky options. I was wrong to think they would affect future documents.
Now I wonder why most items remain available in the menu when they are inapplicable to a solo document, yet some are sensibly grayed-out. Very strange, like much of Photoshop's interface.

conroy Sep 17, 2012 11:47 AM (in response to Sudarshan Thiagarajan)I think we need a little clarification from Jean of his/her situation.

18. Re: Showing several images on screen
Sudarshan Thiagarajan Sep 17, 2012 11:51 AM (in response to conroy)Well, we all learn something new from PS everyday, dont we?! I have - every single day for the last 9+ years now!
And, if you're talking about the other items being available in Arrange menu, here's why few of them are:
- With one document open, if you undock the open document form the tab, Consolidate All to Tabs re-positions the document within the tab
- If you undock the single open document, Tile will re-position the document as a undocked document (legacy PS style)
The rest, I dont know why either!
Very strange, like much of Photoshop's interface.
I second you on that!

19. Re: Showing several images on screen
conroy Sep 17, 2012 11:54 AM (in response to Sudarshan Thiagarajan)Yes, these two I did understand. I bet nobody at Adobe understands why some of the interface is as it is.
