Hi folks.

I am working on a system with 3 24" widescreen displays creating a total pixel width of 5,760 pixels. This system is set up this way for a specific purpose and I am aware that it is somewhat beyond the normal range of horizontal screen area.

Photoshop CS2 seems to be unable to properly redraw the palettes and menus if the workspace exceeds about 4,000 pixels. It hangs after a few minutes. I need to work on images that are 4,410 pixels across and I need to see them in actual pixels. I expected this to work given that Adobe has not published any limit to the size of the Photoshop CS2 workspace – that I know of.

Photoshop 7 works perfectly under the same conditions.

I there a limit for CS2 and have I gone too far?

Photoshop 9.0.2

Do the palettes go white for a few seconds (and sometimes more)?

Please give us more detail about your "unable to properly redraw" statement.

(and there are some limits to GDI and GDI+ drawing, and limits to some video drivers)
