Should definitely not happen. Anyway, it would be a good idea to use the CS4 Clean Utility. this will unregister existing installs and should allow you a "blind" overwrite install of new components. Just be aware, that it may reset some settings in Bridge et al by overwriting config data 'cos naturally it will loose all knowledge of them when you use the utility.

I would assume that the formatting of your EXIF data in the files is perhaps a bit odd and it confuses whatever Bridge is doing. Also, it could be influenced by the order in which you select your files. therefore try to select them individually with Ctrl+clicks instead of marquee or Shift selecting...

Yes thats a way but once the text file is exported, you will not know which measurement is referring to which element on screen :(

Thats why, when you are recording the measurement, it would be nice to be able to rename so that one can remember it later.

Would that be possible?

If not, can a plugin be written to do this?

Having used CS4 for a day or two now the tabbed thing annoyed me so I turned it off. However, if I want to quickly maximise a window now I can't.

Well... I can, but it maximises to the whole screen coving up all my tools and layer panels etc. I liked how in previous versions it maximised to within the working area. Is there a simple setting for this which I'm missing?

Ben,

Cycle through the 3 screen modes with the "f" key.

If you select the Zoom tool, in the Options Bar you will see buttons for:

"Actual Pixels" "Fit Screen" "Fill Screen" and "Print size"

Experiment!

Thanks, "fill screen" followed by "actual pixels" does the job but it's going to take a while to get used to not just double-clicking the title bar!

Pressing 'F' is also helpful although the middle screen mode loses the titlebar and floats the layers panes etc above.

Thanks guys!

Ben: Why not just 'fill screen' or just 'actual pixels' I don't find you need both.

Say I'm working on a small file, when I fill screen to maximise it, it makes it really zoomed in. I'd rather it kept the same zoom level I was at originally (like the real maximise does), and filled the screen with background. Most of the time when I'm laying things out (not retouching) it's at 100%, so 'actual pixels' gets me back to that quickly.

There was a wonderful (and never-ending) thread on exactly this in the Mac forum some months ago. I think I still have it bookmarked...let's see...here:

<http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b5c857/256>

Read and revel. Herein is everything you could possibly need to know on this very subject.

Short story is that it usually boils down to what luminance your monitor is calibrated to; vs. the ambient light you use to view the prints.

For LCD's a luminance level of 100 - 120 cd/m³ is more or less the accepted standard. If your images look fine with that, it's time to look at the ambient light or the printer profile.

Can anyone recommend any good reading material for CS4? I'm not too keen on Scott Kelby (bit too cookbook like although he's a friendly type of guy :-)), nor Martin English (bit too much in depth for me personally).

the manual first! that way you'll at least know the terms (if not exactly what they mean yet) used when you encounter them in classroom in a book.

Classroom In A Book it seems to be then - oh and reading the manual first of course. :-) Thanks.

What manual?

Actually, Classroom in a Book starts at the beginning, and working through the exercises on the accompanying disk fixes things in your mind better than just reading about it.

And of course there's a wealth of information on that web page that appears when you press F1!

What manual?

<http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Photoshop/11.0/> (PDF in the top left corner)

It's over 700 pages, and I would NOT recommend it for the faint-of-heart. I find I can only read about 20 pages a session, so it's slow going. Obviously (oh yes) I'm going over old material, looking for things I've missed (haven't found one yet), but I wouldn't envy someone trying to make sense of those 700 pages with no context. A superb reference, don't get me wrong--thorough, and with advice on every aspect of PS, but dense. Not exactly a gentle introduction.

Gulp :-( it should be titled 'Photoshop CS4 for Insomniacs'. Oh well, should be good for those occasions when I'm forced to sleep in another room. :-)

Yes, we knew about it; it's on the F1 page that I directed Elli to!

Harry, I have the same problem with the ATI 1950X card. So far, the only thing that helps is turning off OpenGL in prefs.

When you get the dialog hit Browse and browse to Photoshop.exe and choose it. Make sure the "Always Use..." box is checked. That ought to do it.

Russell Brown has a CS4 version of his services.

As Wolf points out, if you have CS4 then you already have access to a script that will also do what you want. I happened to notice though, that the built-in script and the Russell Brown script work slightly differently. The RB script will crop all images based on the first one loaded. The built-in script will apparently use the dimensions of the largest image.

It was a nit but I thought the title of the thread would be more accurate as "Help opening multiple images as layers in a single file" or something like that.

Greetings!

I just upgraded from Photoshop 6.0 to CS2 Windows and suddenly all my
prints are coming out darker and discolored. My color settings are the
same as before (Adobe RGB 1998) as is my printer (Epson 2200)

Adobe has been less than helpful so I need some user support here.

Please answer directly to my main email account

dbrown1793@rcn.com

and THANKS IN ADVANCE!
