Work Area Problems in CS2 Post #1 | | Guest | Work Area Problems in CS2
Hi, I have 2 issues I need help with.
Firstly, when I open an image in CS2, the image always looks a lot lighter than using any other program or picture viewer, and when I save a picture from CS2, then open with another app, the result is darker, any ideas?
Next problem, when I create a new image, for instance, an A4 size, it will display taling up most of my 17" monitor but will only be at 25%, the actual picture will not fit on a A4 sheet as it is too large, any ideas?
Thanks.
Steve.

Hello, Steve, Welcome to PsG!
Photoshop is color managed, some other applications are not. You can read a lot of good info on the topic at Computer-darkroom.com (read the tutorials section) If you export for the web, converting the image to sRGB will help. If your only output is the web/non-color managed applications, using sRGB as your workspace will help. Running Adobe Gamma, or way better, calibrating your monitor using some dedicated software and hardware would also be a good idea.
As for the size, you can always zoom to 100% by double-clicking on the zoom tool. A 17" is too small to show a A4 image (at least in portrait mode)
Zoom out so you can see the whole page.
Unless your problem is the fact that the printer has margins that you can't print in. See in the user guide, or give us the made and model, so it is possible to google " [made] [model] + borderless " to see if such a mode exists. Then it would just be a matter of selecting the correct option in the printerdriver.

No its not the printer and as you say I should be able to view an A4 print in landscape at 100% zoom level on a 17" monitor, however at 100% zoom an A4 landscape print is about 4 times the size of my 17" monitor so I only see a quarter of it!
Cheers, Steve.

If your document is A4, you'll print an A4. Zooming changes the on-screen representation of the image, but resolution is a factor. Also be aware that it is extremely difficult to get a "print size" zoom ratio that matches reality (there are different sizes of monitor, etc.)
What is the resolution of the file?
For printing, 288 or 360ppi are good resolutions, if you use Epson printers.
