    Too lazy to set a custom title

    upgraded to photoshop cs4 ....... weirdness

    i just installed Photoshop CS4 trial - i've been using Photoshop 8(CS) for years.

    i don't understand something, I open a .psd document and move it around Photoshop's working area, when the document snaps to the boundaries of the working area there's this huge background area beyond the actual edges of the .psd document and scrollbars at the bottom and right. I don't see what the benefit is to this, is there a way to get rid of that huge background.

    below is a screencap of what i'm talking about, it's an opened psd document at full size - the grey is this huge background area that is pointless and annoying - annoying mostly because it seems like it's actually part of the document.



    I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

                  Haven't got cs4 only 3 but maybe there's a size setting for the work area, like in flash and AI.

                  Is the background size always the same?

                          maybe "View - Screen Mode" will help?

                                  well i still have Photoshop 8 - the only reason I am trying CS4 is because Photoshop 8 is running very slowly on big files. CS4 opens the same file 10 times faster. I think my Photoshop 8 might have some corrupted files that has caused it to get so slow.

                                          Gimp works perfectly fine for me,no need for photoshop at all.

                                                  well i got rid of that problem by un-checking the box for 'Enable floating window document docking' - but doing that leads to more problems, the biggest being that all the panels (tools, brushes, layers, etc) are trapped within the boundaries of the Photoshop application window and get hidden behind your psd document window.

                                                  it's like going over to the UK and adapting to driving on the left hand side of the road.

                                                  it looks like they've copied a lot from Corel Paint Shop Pro x2.

                                                      well congrats Adobe, you've made Photoshop absolutely unusable for anybody who likes their monitor resolution at 1024x768.

                                                          hmm, I have photoshop cs and luckily I don't have this problem. I guess there's always something wrong with each new version.

                                                                      pixels. it's like viewing a paysite tour designed for 1024x768 montiors on an 800x600 display - you're scrolling horizontally or zooming in and out constantly.

                                                                      what they've done is actually an improvement - except for the fact that millions of people have been using Photoshop for years and CS4 forces people who are programmed to do things one way for years to suddenly do common routine type things differently. i've been reading forums and saw lots of comments from people who say they went back to CS3 - there wasn't enough new in CS4 from CS3 to make it worthwhile changing how they worked.

                                                                      i'm sure in a week most people adapt to CS4.
