Question

How can I change or disable my artboard from being fully zoomed in my workplace?

Hello everyone, I recently installed photoshop after 3 years, and with this latest version I saw only one thing that I can't find out how to change, that is my artboard; I can't figure out how to change it so I can see the size of the file I want to work with, it completely embraces all the workplace up to the ruler. And also, when I try to open files of previous versions, it only shows blank. Can someone help me out, please?

First thing I noticed is that you have turned on some filters in Layers panel and it shows only layer without Artboard. It is highlighted with nmb 1 on my screenshot.

 

  • Most likely you have White color set for Artboard background color. To change it, cick on first two icons in the top right corner of Layers panel to turn filters off and to see Artboard or group named Artboard. Click on Artboard /nmb 2/ then open Window > Properties and from Artboard background color choose Transparent for example /nmb3/.
  • Perhaps and your pasteboard color is set to white? Right click anywhere on pasteboard or outside the artboard/canvas and choose Default, for example /nmb 4/.

    Does this menu item fix your zoom issue?
    View > Fit on Screen
    This feature can also be triggered using the keyboard shortcut Command/Control + 0

     

    Resetting the Photoshop preferences may fix the all-white image situation.
