I have been using CS3 for about 1 1/2 years, so of course had to give CS4 a try. I downloaded the trial. I immediately had an issue with File > Place.
I often use File > Place to add additional items into a document. I believe the expected functionality of File>Place is that the file should then be centered in the document.
Here is what I have done:
+ Create a 12"x12" document at 200ppi (I have also tried to create a document at 2400×2400 pixels)
+ Use File>Place to add a square 2400×2400 pixel image (JPG file) into the document + The added layer is now offset ever so slightly in the new document. + Further observation shows that the horizontal reference point is at 1202 (screen shot attached), thus creating an offset from center. I change it to 1200 and sure enough the paper is centered perfectly. I thought maybe changing it once would make it the same next time, but that is not the case.
+ When I used the File>Place command, I was zoomed out (25%), and the entire image was viewable on screen. If I zoom out further, say 8.33%, the offset is 1206.
I am able to duplicate this on two different computers with the following configurations:
Computer #1
+ Windows XP Professional Version 2002 SP2
+ AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 6000+ (3.01GHz)
+ 4GB RAM
+ nVidia GeForce 8600 GT, driver version 6.14.11.5819
Computer #2
+ HP Pavilion dv9843cl Laptop
+ Windows Vista x64 SP1
+ Intel Core Duo processor T8100 (2.1 GHz)
+ 4GB RAM
+ nVidia GeForce 8600M GS with 512MB DDR dedicated graphics memory, ForceWare version 167.43 + Video BIOS version: 60.83.4f.00.22
Operating System: Windows XP Professional
Browser: Firefox
Video display card / driver version: nVidia GeForce 8600 GT, driver version 6.14.11.5819
Screen shot (not sure if this works in these forums):
Any ideas?????
