Problem with zoom in Photoshop CS6

Report · Sep 06, 2012

Hello

I've got problem with new(?) feature in Photoshop CS6.

When I'm working on my project and have for example 150% zoom and I want to move workspace with SPACE+LMB.

In my previous version (CS3) I can do this without problem but know Photoshop shows me my file with FIT TO SCREEN zoom and some frame to choose

which screen area I want to zoom in.

It's just zooming out to full view of file. I hate this, but I can't turn it off.

The Bird's Eye view is normally activated by holding the H key while clicking and dragging. There is a bug that makes this feature sticky.

Press and let go of the Alt key, the menu bar quick access letters will remain underscored. Then press the H key, the Help menu opens up.

Don't click the menu, click anywhere on your picture and now the Bird's Eye view is sticky. Press H to return to normal.

(update)

Sticky Bird's Eye:

Once you make it sticky, then any time the hand icon is present (spacebar) it zooms.

Click the hand tool or press H to stop the sticky zooming.

Make sticky Bird's Eye:

1 - Alt (press and let go)

2 - H

3 - click on your picture, not the drop down menu

--------------------

Bird's Eye view is sticky

--------------------

4 - H to unstick

I have this problem....I have for much time tried to get help without any success. Don´t konw if anyone from Adobe even aknowledges that there is a bug concerning the "birds eye feature".

One simple checkbox in preferences would solve this problem "endable/disable birdseye view". Much like with the flickpanning - "enable flickpanning".

Here is a thread about this, please login and support the idea
