CLiR Panel display issues with Photoshop and Windows
What’s happening?
On Windows machines, there are a few points that need special attention, if you’ve experienced graphic display ”zoom” issues.
In fact, due to some graphic bugs between Windows OS and Adobe Photoshop, CEP Panels can show up as cropped.
Besides our recommendation of setting your monitor to a minimum resolution of 1080 pixels height, here are the areas that you need to access in order to make sure that your monitor is properly setup.
Note: Mac OS users shouldn’t be concerned at all.
❌ CLiR Panel in Photoshop, showing display issues: part of the panel are cropped, text is too big…
✅ CLiR Panel in Photoshop, properly displayed
Let’s see what solutions we have to bring things back to normal.
We basically need to access Windows Settings and look out for 4 parameters:
| in System Display | in Ease of Access |
|
Scale and Layout |
Make text bigger |
| Display Resolution |
Make Everything bigger |
Important: before anything else, please quit Photoshop if it’s running❗️
Now let’s go throught Windows settings and start adjusting.
To avoid any menu confusion in Win OS, we will just start from the Desktop.
Just type display in the bottom left search bar…
Then click on “Change the resolution of the display”…
Note: you can reduce height of the CLiR panel and scroll through with your mouse
✅ Looks good
When the CLiR panel has been resized, use the mouse wheel and scroll to show the rest of the panel:
IMPORTANT
Let’s go back to Windows Display Settings panel.
Click on “Advanced scaling settings”.
Leave Custom scaling field empty.
Click the back arrow.
1/ Scroll down
2/ Click “Advanced display settings”
Make sure the resolution is set to minimum height of 1080 pixels.
Click back arrow.
Cool ! So far, we’ve checked:
| in System Display |
|
✅ Scale and Layout |
| ✅ Display Resolution |
Now let’s check:
| in Ease of Access |
|
Make text bigger |
|
Make Everything bigger |
Let’s go back to Windows Display Settings panel… and click “Home”
Click “Ease of Access”
Make sure that the smallest value is set for the “Make text bigger”.
Make sure that “Make everything bigger” is set to 100%.
This is what happens when a panel is clipped
This looks good now!
We’ve checked
