Image is half hidden when I open it in photoshop

[Alison163A]

Hi! 

Looking for some assistance. When I open an photograph in photoshop it is always half out of the frame. I can enlarge it but when I go to crop it, part of it disappears again. I'm sure it's a simple setting change, but I can't figure it out. 

Thanks in advance for the help!

Could you post a screen shot?

Hi @Alison163A ,

To @Michael Bullo's point, a screenshot will help us help you better.

You might want to try these though.

Open the image ang choose the Move Tool. If this resolves your problem, it means you had the Crop tool selected by default and Ps was giving you a crop preview.

If that does not resolve it, you can reset the preferences. Here's how:

With Photoshop closed, press and hold Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and relaunch Photoshop the way you normally would.

Keep us posted on your progress

These answers aren't right.

You have a RULER problem.

Verify your Ruler is set so BOTH the horizontal and vertocal rulers are set at "0" (ZERO) upper left of your work space.

If Not, double click upper left of panel at intersection of vertical and horizontal rulers.

If that doesn't work, keep poking around on line regarding "zero'ing your rulers".

"Image is half hidden when I open it in photoshop." The same thing happens to me for many, but not all images. It's not a Ruler problem, as the origin is in the upper left corner even for the images that are chopped upon opening.

I haven't yet figured out the connection. Why some, but not others? Command-0 reveals the whole image, so no data is lost. It's just very annoying.

Incidentally, I do most of my Photoshopping on an old Mac G5 that has CS2. It's so much more elegant and efficient than the clunky thing Photoshop has become -- what with all the superfluous window frames, borders, and wasted vertical space.
