Just inserted my flash card into the reader.

Opened the browser in Photoshop 8.0 (which for some reason NEVER STAYS in its full screen mode).

Located the test RAW images I just took.

Clicked on one.

And a HUGE new window fills the screen. I can not find anyway to shrink this window down.

To top it off, when I try and move the window, it creates copies of itself perpetually at its back, and the window is NOT completely open…. theright hand side is missing half of its controls.

What am I doing wrong?

i think you have a very low monitor resolution, try to set a bigger resolution, then that window will appear at the right size

maybe the graph memory needs to be increased?

Photoshop 8.0/CS needs at least 1024 x 768.

If you are still having problems at that rez or higher, try deleting your preferences.

Photoshop’s preferences file.

Hold down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac) as you start the program.

Next step is to re-install your video drivers.

Yes, I know about that… but what does that have to do with window size?

I’m afraid I have no idea what you are talking about. I’m a photographer, not a computer expert.

The position and size of the user-controllable windows are stored, oddly enough, in the preferences file. If it becomes corrupt, funky things can happen.

If you shot on nothing but Auto mode, you wouldn’t be much of a photographer, no? Whether you realize it or not, you have already learned a very technical skill that sounds just as arcane or esoteric to the inexperienced as computers do. If you are going to use a computer as a professional tool, you’re going to have to learn some of the basic procedures in it’s care and feeding.

Did you ever establish what resolution your monitor is set to?
