Photoshop CS5 & two monitors

I have Design Premium incl. Photoshop CS5.  Recently, I was pretty lucky to get a second monitor (soft) HOWEVER I have serious problems with the work of Photoshop.  If I drag the whole program or just a new window with an image, (a little) the image is black!  I can keep the image on my primary monitor and don't use the tools of the second but absoultely no images on the second?  This does not work with Illustrator or any other program (Adobe or other).  I Googled it until I'm sick and can not find anyone else having this problem or how to fix it.  I am running Windows XP and both screens are 1280 x 1024.

Sounds like a video driver issue.  Is it differently if you enable or disable OpenGL in preferences/Performance?

  • Photoshop CS5 menu text microscopic! (monitor high resolution)

    Hello

    You do not know if I made the right choice or not, but I've owned a copy of Photoshop CS5 Extended for a period of time. Honestly, as a photographer passionate home / amateur, it is more than enough for me - don't know what who exactly I am losers 'full cloud"or opt for the basic option flat by but I tell myself that I already own a license for a product which is already WAY above my skill level, why spend more money.

    Just replaced my machine and the new has come up with a new NVidia Quadro card turn off the true 4K via a DisplayPort connection, and I invested in a monitor Eizo of 4K (4096 x 2160) complete which honestly, is beautiful.

    HOWEVER... I installed Photoshop and the menu items are microscopic. So small I have to scan the screen to read. in 'Preferences', I already put the size of the font of the user interface of 'big' well I noticed I put 'small' or 'large' makes no difference. The drop down menus are more readable (OK, actually), it's the top-level menus by default (the Ribbon on the top bars of tools and panels of rights, etc.) which are too small to use comfortably.

    I am running Windows 10 Pro on a screen high resolution. What is a conflict between the police-scaling of the APP (that I bought when Windows 7 is the current MS OS) and application? Or something else?

    FYI, all my other apps I use respond very well the text scaling of Windows settings. I have the native resolution of 4096 x 2160 value and the scaling of text set to 175%.

    Any ideas would be very appreciated.

    Thanks guys,.

    If you use Windows, you really need a CC subscription to fully support high DPI screens.  The photography is a trivial $10 per month for Photoshop and Lightroom and a ton of items of value such as TypeKit, libraries (fully interactive with the Adobe Mobile applications) and some very cool new features that are continually being added to and updated.  In addition, you should never took native support for new cameras.

  • Splitting of the "parts" of Photoshop Elements on two monitors

    I have two monitors and would like to implement the following configuration: a monitor for full screen image editing and one screen for the menus, buttons, and the GUI tools. I read a suggestion to go watch one at a time each individual 'Panel' more in high school, but is there a way to move the image being edited on the secondary screen instead? Move each panel every time too long seems to be the way to solve this problem.

    I use Photoshop Elements 10 on Windows 7.

    Try to move the editing window, but re - set up your preferences.

    Go to preferences to change General

    Then choose allow Documents floating in the editing Mode completes.

  • Photoshop CS5 always chooses the wrong monitor in dual monitor profile?

    The folklore is that if you go to EDIT/COLOR SETTINGS and open space RGB Working drop down, and then up on the "Monitor RGB" line in what he says is the profile monitor that photoshop is actually to aid.

    If that's true, then I expect if I run photoshop on my monitor 1 he would show the monitor 1 profile, and if I have PS on Monitor 2 it would show the 2 monitor profile. But in fact, it always shows the monitor profile 1. Naturally, this creates anxiety that PS uses the wrong profile to display my images, because I normally work with the image on the screen 2.

    My configuration: Windows 7 64-bit, PS 12.0.1 x 64. Matrox M9120 graphics card drive two monitors. MANAGEMENT of Windows CONTROL COLOR/PANEL displays a different profile active on each monitor.

    (By running photoshop on a particular monitor, I want to say I run photoshop, drag mode non-plein screen on the desired monitor and close it.) Then I run it again and it starts on this screen (including the start screen)).

    What photographers want to know, that's exactly what photoshop monitor profile used when displaying an image? Where is the answer to this question please?

    The profile associated with this display in the settings of the operating system.

    Photoshop DO fixes for each display separately, using the profiles associated with each screen and correction the same for images that run through several screens.  If you move the window, Photoshop updates the values of color accordingly.  He has done that since Photoshop 5.0.

  • Photoshop CS5 upgrade can be installed on two PCs?

    I have photoshop CS2 installed on my desktop and have an update to CS5 on the way.

Is this correct, or I was misinformed, and installation is limited to a single pc?

    You are allowed 2 active copies, even if you can only use one at a time.

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5

    My setup: my name is Floyd

    CS5 Extended, W8, 64-bit, 8 GB of memory, Dell XPS 8500 computer with processor Intel 3770.  24 inch Dell 2410 monitor. I bought this desktop & monitor specifically to running Adobe CS5 Extended and other photography related programs. I installed the same program I have installed beforehand on a W7 desktop a year ago.  None of these problems I am describing below existed on W7 or CS3 CS4. Also, these problems still took place outside Photoshop (which I opened through Adobe Bridge).  The only other programs I have installed on this computer are so of calibration for the monitor/printer of Datacolor and Imatch image management so.

    Photoshop (PS):

    1 BLACK SCREEN: This problem happened about 10 times the only half an hour, I have used the program for editing.  The background behind the layer on which I work becomes sometimes black, my window border.  Sometimes the whole screen goes black with the exception of the presence of the mouse pointer.  Sometimes move the mouse returns the windows PS, sometimes it isn't.  Sometimes I don't and they return in less than 60 seconds, but once that lasted several minutes, and I stop the program via the Windows Task Manager.  Hesitate to start by clicking the mouse when I don't see anything.

    2 SELECTIONS: Selections are described by a dotted line "mobile".  That's what I experienced in previous versions of PS.  However in W8 border disappears every 4 seconds, still missing about a second and then comes back. Boring. Distressing.

    When I got the computer I installed all the updates that are available from Ms.  Then I installed CS5 Extended Suite.  I ran the updates again, but he said that I was aware.  When I found these two problems, I ran the updates in both bridge and Psalm in both cases, he went to MS, not Adobe and once again told that I was aware.  During the decision-making process for the purchase of this configuration, I found many references to the MS and Adobe CS5 with W8 compatibility.  Sometimes only made "Some problems."

    I would appreciate your help.  Thank you, Floyd

    How does this relate to the features of Windows Update?

    Adobe support confirms that the installed version of Photoshop CS5 (Extended) is supported under Win8 64 - bit? See http://www.adobe.com/store/en_us/popup/software/photoshop5extended/systemreqs.html

  • Photoshop CS5: OpenGL turns off as soon as I open a document

    Hi all

    I am facing a problem, I do not understand with Photoshop CS5 since I bought a

    new monitor two weeks ago.

    I had a monitor 17 inch Dell and Nvidia card with 500 MB of RAM and everything worked

    fine.

    Two weeks ago, I bought a 27 inch Dell U2713HM. I noticed that the option OpenGL in Photoshop

    has been disabled, and so I couldn't turn the canvas easily. I thought it could be the graphics

    only 500 MB of memory card live available, and since then I was now running at a resolution of 2560 x 1440,

    more RAM was necessary for operations such as rotate. I went and bought a Nvidia

    GTX630 with 4 GB of RAM. Still, it has not fixed the problem and there is nothing I can do to activate

    the OpenGL option.

    If I open Photoshop, I can see in the map preferences is known very well, and I can play

    with the amount of RAM, I want to leave free. However, as soon as I open a document or I create

    (even as low as 100px by 100px) another option is disabled and photoshop complains that the

    document is not active OpenGL. If I go back to 17-inch screen, this new graphics card

    also works very well. So I don't think that it has nothing to do with the graphics card.

    I've updated all the drivers for the graphics card, motherboard, and everything is available.

    Any ideas about why this is happening? Its a shame, that with the biggest nicer monitor I have

    cannot take full advantage of some of the features of Photoshop. It also makes the zoom and the other

    things are going a bit not smooth.

    Thank you

  • What is the difference between Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop CS5 Extended?

    Hey,.

    What is the difference between Photoshop CS5 and Photoshop CS5 Extended?

    Also, why are there no other product from Adobe that don't are not 'extended', why just Photoshop?

    Thank you

    Hatton

    It's all about marketing and money.  You can be extended or not, depending on what are the features that you need.  I personally don't have extended, just Standard and it's quite capable in itself that I need.  The two editions have 32 and 64 bit variants (if you have a 64 bit OS).

    Adobe says only Extended offers "...". breakthrough tools for creating and editing 3D content and lively.

    This page, in a few more clicks, will tell you more on the differences:

    http://www.Adobe.com/products/Photoshop/compare/

    A good approach, if you have the monitor space, is to put the who's new pages for Standard and Extended place side by side in two browser windows and search for differences.

  • How to activate the Menu 3D to Photoshop CS5 Extended?

    Hello

    I installed photoshop cs5 extended, then I activated the drawing OpenGL in Edit > Preferences > performance

    My VGA card is HD4850 supports OpenGL 2.1 link manufacturer . I installed the latest driver for it

    The processor is Intel Q9550.

    But the problem is: the 3D Menu is not enabled so how to activate it?

    Thanks in advance

    I installed the latest driver for it

    But what are the parameters? You can install drivers all day long - if there is only one poorly defined, somewhere, it will stop working OpenGL. I suggest you to reset the factory default driver and let it automatically set up again on the next business-up system. It is usually the safest way. If you use multiple monitors, try starting with a monitor only, especially if the monitors are not identical. It is a fairly common limitation, since it will force the card to spend a lot more resources generating two separate outputs with different settings...

  • Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working (Windows 7, 64-bit)

    I am trying to run Photoshop CS5 in 64-bit Windows 7. Everytime I open the program, I get an error saying "Adobe Photoshop CS5 has stopped working", immediately after the startup screen goes away and the main GUI opens. The only option on the error is "close the program".

    I'm on a computer with a processor i7 and 12 GB of memory. I have two Nvidia GTS 250 video cards, four monitors running.

    During the last day, I reformatted my computer and reinstalled Windows twice. I reinstalled the CS5 Master Suite several times that I can remember. I also downloaded and installed the latest drivers from Nvidia video card.

    I keep having the same problem whenever I try to open all of the programs in the suite CS5.

    The only time where as I got near the do function was immediately after installing new Nvidia drivers, before restarting my computer. I could open only once without it breaking, once I restarted my computer, Photoshop kept giving me the same error everytime I try to open it.

    I don't have any other software installed on my computer. This is a new installation of Windows 7.

    I was on the phone with Adobe technical support for about an hour and a half, and I still have to get one unique suggestion other than to try with my unplugged network cable installation. Other than that, they seem to be fond of the transfer me back and forth between departments (and asking me to repeat all my information every time).

    As you can probably, I am very frustrated at this point and would be very happy to suggestions.

    Thank you

    My scenario and history:

    Windows Vista Ultimate Edition and now Windows 7 Ultimate

    NVidia Quadro Fx 4500 screwing 4 monitors total SLi on or off - makes no difference.  Drivers are irrelevant.

    2 x Xeon 5160 (so total 4 cores)

    24 GB RAM

    PS CS 4 or 5

    4 monitors - Yep it's the thing 4 monitor.

    Fails every time that you describe.

    Comment - if you remote desktop on the computer - and so, indeed, use a single monitor - PS works fine.

    A WORKAROUND solution for 4 or 5 - I don't consider not that difficult because you lose some features, but it gets you 99% it and is the same workaround for CS4 or 5

    Go to: Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5 (64 bit) \Plug-ins\Extensions\ (or CS4 - according to version)

    Look for the file:

    ScriptingSupport.8li

    Disable this extension by renaming the file with a tilde before the name of the file.  So:

    ~ScriptingSupport.8li

    Start Photoshop - it works and is essentially functional.

    The only real drawback I found is that disable this script extension means that you cannot use some of the scripts integrated under FILE - SCRIPTS - larger PIA for me to be that of the Contact Sheet Builder no longer works.  But as I now use Lightroom to create planks-contacts - this is not a big loss.  Other features script - I'm sure is applied - but not to the point I find PS unusable.

    ADOBE - if you read this - it was this extesión now for the last two editions of the PS.
