scrubby zoom not accessible

Hello fellow! I had the same problem.

To fix, you must go to Photoshop/Preferences/Performance and mark the option ˜Use Graphics Processor``.

Them you must click on the Advanced Settings icon and mark all the inside sub-icons. Mark the advanced mode ass well.

Thats it, enjoy the Scrubby Zoom again.

Thanks for the tips, I bet they're useful for everyone's reading.

I know about bugs and drivers, they come together often eheh.. in the past I've even experienced problems with OpenGL in PS, recently just having problems with the scrubby zoom and the animated eye dropper.

Weird cause everything else was running nice and smooth, and looking at the Preferences the OpenGL was activated and working fine. Now I've also reinstalled PS and everything works fine again.

And as you said we can't escape to the fact that loss of OpenGL functionality is possible in any case, I often Purge the Histories and the Clipboard to keep things running cleaner.

I've the same problem here. PC Windows Vista, PS CS5 Extended. Everything works fast but I've the same problems as vogelman

I think it's a bug

To further Curt's note:  Check Edit - Preferences - Performance.

Assuming you find that OpenGL is not and cannot be enabled, and the dialog says something like "No GPU Options Available in Photoshop Standard", and you have a reasonably modern video card in your system, you may be able to gain access to the Enable OpenGL Drawing setting by downloading and installing new video drivers from the web site of the manufacturer of your video card.

If Photoshop refuses to allow the OpenGL setting after drivers are updated, you may need a new video card to take advantage of the most modern features, such as scrubby zoom, flick panning, and brush size/hardness preview gestures.

What kind of video card do you have?

Do you have OpenGl enabled?  If not try that first.
