Cannot view complete image on screen


Recommended Posts

Good morning, 

I been struggling to figure out why, I can only see a small portion of my image on the canvas, despite my efforts to resize both the canvas and/or the document.  Each time I try to place a saved image on the canvas, only a small portion of the image is visible.  When I use the tool to drag and resize the image, the image disappears.  Can someone help me or point me to a video on this subject please?   Below is a snip of my issue

Here is another.  Roughly 75% of my image is displayed on screen.  Using the blue rectangle, when I try to resize so that 100% of the image is displayed on screen, then the whole image disappears.     Does anyone know what causes this?

Hello and welcome!

When you placed the image, did you clicked and dragged to size it during the place operation? - Show up the layers panel, select the image layer, use the move tool and resize the image with the usually shown bounding-box handles. Or select the image layer, convert to pixels and use the transform panel and type in the pixel height/weight values your image initially had.

Alternatively to the advice above, this could be a graphics driver and/or hardware acceleration issue.
Make sure your drivers are up-to-date and if that doesn’t fix it try disabling hardware acceleration via Preferences / Performance.
If that doesn’t fix it, please give us a screen-grab showing your Preferences / Performance dialog.
