Hi

I’m new here and I need some help. I recently bought a new Mac mini and had to migrate Photoshop over to it from my old G4 powerbook. I was running a second monitor with the powerbook and now PS CS thinks it is still there.

I cannot figure out how to get the pop up dialogue boxes to show up now. Image size is invisible but I know it’s there somewhere because if I just type numbers it does size the image, I just can’t see what I’m doing?

Any ideas?

Thanks
Darlene

I tried that and it asks me for a folder for plug-ins?

If I get it to work though, will I lose all my custom actions, curves, etc that I’ve created and paid for?

You have installation problems because you "migrated" or "cloned" a Photoshop install rather than use the CD/DVD to install a fresh copy of Photoshop. Now Photoshop is looking for stuff in your other drive. :/

Migrating and/or cloning is almost always a monumentally bad idea, in my view.

Of course not. Just remember to Save any actions or presets you have created yourself.
