I recently got CS2. I use a screen resolution of 800×600. And I noticed that most of the filter pallettes don’t fit my screen. They’re too big, go off screen, cut areas off and don’t resize at my screen resolution.
Mainly the Liquify, Vanishuing Point, Artistic, Brush Strokes, Distort, and Sketch pallettes.
They seem fine and resize at larger screen resolutions…but not 800×600. Is there some way to fix this?
Thanks.
why would you want to run such low resolution for your monitor unless it’s a piece of crap or very old?
Quite simple.
I prefer it that way.
I have the same question about 1024×768 on a 19in. CRT
To me it makes things look…tiny.
I don’t like… tiny.
I’m just more comfortable with that rez… that’s all.
it is quite simple to use 1024×768, any decent
vid card lets you change this back and forth to view website designs.
I have quite a decent video card. One of the first things I do when I get a new monitor is stretch what’s onscreen to fit the whole monitor. to get rid of that "black framed void" around everything. But with my settings, when I switch to 1024×768, everything has that thick black band around it again, and is off center to the right.
which would cause me to have to readjust my monitor settings. (I hope that made sense, dunno how else to explain it.)
So yeah… I can switch back and forth quite quickly, but what’s on screen isn’t the same at different resolutions.
If you use the monitor a lot you should also bump up to the highest refresh rate to save your eyes from tiring. I use 85 minimum refresh rate.
I know, I always have it set to the highest refresh rate.
To do graphics work you should not be using the Windows default of the lowest setting.
800×600…? Why not…?
Is that in some rule book someplace?
Any comp I use I immediately change this.
Hey, if that works for you… fine.
Again… not trying to be nasty.
It just makes me mad that I have to adjust my settings to run the software properly… instead of the other way around.
