I agree with JJMack. In the Explorer view quoted above in his post, it would be very useful to click the address bar to see the full path (since the truncated view starts with the Zig folder). Mike ... View more

Not only low resolution, but a rather large sized font for that resolution. You'd have better results with a smaller point size, I think. Mike ... View more

The size of the image in pixels, if it is too small, could contribute to pixelated text. What is your image size in pixels (Image > Image Size)? What font size are you using? Mike ... View more

Hi Roy, You can copy your catalog file (the file ending with suffix .lrcat) onto your internal hard drive, and open it from there by double clicking it, or from within Lightroom by choosing File > Open Catalog... Keep in mind, your catalog does NOT contain any images. It is an index of your images, including their location, and any edits you've made, ratings and metadata you've applied, etc. The original photos must still be available for Lightroom to reference. If your photo originals are on the external drive, and you disconnect the drive,you'll still be able to see the images in Lightroom, but won't be able to edit them or export copies, until you reattach the hard drive with originals. You can move the originals to your internal drive, too, but this could take a lot of space. And, Lightroom will need to be told where you have moved the originals: How to find missing photos in Photoshop Lightroom Let me know how you do, and if you run into trouble, just shout. Mike ...

Hi Jimmy, Photoshop CS5 doesn't support high DPI monitors, as you've discovered. The current version, Photoshop CC (2017) does have support, with appropriate scaling of the user interface. Photoshop CC is available as a subscription-based license only, there isn't an upgrade path (but with the subscription, you always have access to the latest updates): Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud I hope this helps!

How come, in the very last image, your user name is "User," but in the first image, your user folder is "Zig?" It's almost like we're looking at two different systems. Mike ... View more

The file to change is:      %appdata%\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences\Lightroom 6 Preferences.agprefs. The placeholder %appdata% Expands to your user Application Data folder, which is typically:      c:\Users\Yourname\Appdata This is a hidden folder, so you'll have to set Windows Explorer to show hidden files and folders to see it.

Sometimes settings are applied on import. What happens when you reset the develop settings on the photo? Does the appearance change? Can you show a screen shot of your interfaceshowing the before and after, with History showing? I see your forum ID name as bremstruik, my apologies if that's not correct. Thanks, Mike ... View more

Wow, that's a strange one. I can honestly say I've never seen that happen! I'll do some digging, but as far as I know that shouldn't happen. Have you tried resetting Photoshop's preferences to the default? Just for the record, the dark interface is now the default, so there doesn't seem to be a good reason for the lighter interface to show up as in your second example. Mike ... View more

Hi ksetry, Your question is a little bit confusing, since the "Alt" is for Windows, and "Cmd" if for Mac. I'm going to assume you are on a Mac. I'm also going to assume you mean you're trying to zoom with the keyboard shortcuts of Cmd-Spacebar and Cmd-Opt-Spacebar. On recent Mac OS, pressing Cmd-Spacebar brings up Spotlight search, instead of zooming in Photoshop. To remedy this, first press and hold the space bar, THEN add the command key (to zoom in) or option key (to zoom out). If your question is is different from this, please clarify, adding your version of Photoshop, and your version of operating system. Mikr ... View more

Hi Jeff, You've posted in the Lounge, a non-technical forum for creative conversation. I'm guessing you are using Lightroom, so I'll move this to a Lightroom product forum where more people will see it. ''Have you signed in to Lightroom on the new iMac to activate it? The Develop module is unavailable if you don't have a current subscription. Sign in with your Adobe ID by clicking the Identity plate in the upper left corner and choosing the option to sign in.

Hi xprouser, You've posted in the Lounge, a non-technical forum for creative discussions. I'll move this post over the the appropriate Acrobat forum. Are you using Windows?

You've posted in the Lounge, where there is no product technical support. I'll move this thread to the Premiere Pro forum. To burn a DVD, you'll need Encore (or another third party tool). Encore isn't installed by default anymore, but you can install it from the Creative Cloud desktop app by installing Premiere CS6. Instructions are found here on this Adobe help page: How to download and install Adobe Encore CS6 For the record, this makes me grumpy, too. I really like Encore and wish it were being maintained. But, for now, it still works well. Mike ... View more
