Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 V19.0 32 Bit Ml Full Version
Natalie Omahony
I have seen this issue on several forums for Photoshop CC but nothing for Elements 2021. I am used to using the old Photoshop CS5.5 where I could see the bounding box as the image overlapped the main window. With Elements, the bounding box with handles shows only inside the active window. If the pasted image is too large, then I have to maneuver it back and forth within the window to size it appropriately. Very inconvenient!
- compare your copy an paste workflow to the 'drag and drop' from the photo bin. You drag and drop a photo from the bin to the displayed canvas. The bounding box appears resized to fit in the displayed image: it's a preview showing the 'smart layer' which you can resize, move and tilt without losing original quality. Much simpler and faster than copy and paste layers from the layers panel. If you don't like it, there is a preference to disable it.
If I understand well, the problem of the bounding box not being visible is only when the copied or dragged image is bigger than the canvas? In that case, dragging from the photo bin never works like copy and paste. The result is a 'preview' of the dragged image maximized inside the canvas.
Here is another example with a full size pic of my youngest grandchildren in the middle so you can see what it should look like. Then I added another layer with the same image but pulled it up and to the side. The bounding box shows within the blue area but not on the grey area.
Thank you. I was using v19.0 and "Updates" is greyed out, so I assume this is the latest version, but I did remove current version using AppZapper, and downloaded a new copy and installed. Indeed it is v19.0
But next time you need to make sure, just go to Help > About Photoshop Elements and look at the all-important Build number in brackets after the version number. The version number doesn't change after an update has been installed - the Build number does.
I've had a good search around and can't find anyone else who is having the same problem as you. Unfortunately, the number of Mac-based Photoshop Elements users is considerably smaller than those who are using Windows, which means that hardware-issues like this are much more difficult to troubleshoot. One thing going for Mac users is that there is a much smaller pool of hardware configurations to contend with, but even so, I'm guessing that there are even fewer 2020 MacBook Pro users running Big Sur and Photoshop Elements 2021.
If that doesn't work, are you using a mouse or the MacBook Pro trackpad? I've had a few issues come up on my Windows 10 laptop with different mice causing graphic glitches when using drag and drop in Photoshop Elements. It might be worth trying a mouse / a different mouse / your trackpad (whatever is different than what you're currently using).
Thank you. I am no longer using Big Sur. I have installed Catalina and still have the same problem.
The screenshot from Jeff demonstrates exactly my issue. Whereas his shows bounding box outside the document, mine does not.
Re using mouse or trackpad. I use several different mice.
I have my 2012 MacBook Pro (running Mojave so I can use Adobe Master Suite CS5.5) and my 2020 MacBook Pro (Catalina) both connected to my 34" Samsung Display, so I use Bluetooth mice for switching back and forth quickly. I also use my Apple wired mouse sometimes. See attached.
First off, disconnect your 2020 MacBookPro (Catalina) from your Samsung Display and remove your mouse. Try Photoshop Elements 2021 on this laptop now with just its normal built-in display and just your trackpad. Make sure you've turned off Bluetooth so any other mice aren't connnected. If you still have no joy, using that same simplified setup have a play with different screen resolutions to see if that brings back the bounding box outside the image.
Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I disconnected my external monitor, hard drives, speakers - everything, turned off Bluetooth and just used laptop with trackpad. I tried all different resolutions, re-calibrated the colour, unticked the brightness and true tone options and still no bounding box.
Adobe Photoshop is a raster graphics editor developed and published by Adobe for Windows and macOS. It was originally created in 1987 by Thomas and John Knoll. Since then, the software has become the most used tool for professional digital art, especially in raster graphics editing. Owing to its fame, the program's name has become genericised as a verb (e.g. "to photoshop an image", "photoshopping", and "photoshop contest")[7] although Adobe disapproves of such use.[8]
Photoshop can edit and compose raster images in multiple layers and supports masks, alpha compositing and several color models. Photoshop uses its own PSD and PSB file formats to support these features. In addition to raster graphics, Photoshop has limited abilities to edit or render text and vector graphics (especially through clipping path for the latter), as well as 3D graphics and video. Its feature set can be expanded by plug-ins; programs developed and distributed independently of Photoshop that run inside it and offer new or enhanced features.
Photoshop's naming scheme was initially based on version numbers. However, in October 2002 (following the introduction of Creative Suite branding), each new version of Photoshop was designated with "CS" plus a number; e.g., the eighth major version of Photoshop was Photoshop CS and the ninth was Photoshop CS2. Photoshop CS3 through CS6 were also distributed in two different editions: Standard and Extended. With the introduction of the Creative Cloud branding in June 2013 (and in turn, the change of the "CS" suffix to "CC"), Photoshop's licensing scheme was changed to that of software as a service subscription model. Historically, Photoshop was bundled with additional software such as Adobe ImageReady, Adobe Fireworks, Adobe Bridge, Adobe Device Central and Adobe Camera RAW.
Alongside Photoshop, Adobe also develops and publishes Photoshop Elements, Photoshop Lightroom, Photoshop Express, Photoshop Fix, Adobe Illustrator, and Photoshop Mix. As of November 2019, Adobe has also released a full version of Photoshop for the iPad, and while initially limited, Adobe plans to bring more features to Photoshop for iPad.[9] Collectively, they are branded as "The Adobe Photoshop Family".
Photoshop was developed in 1987 by two brothers, Thomas and John Knoll, who sold the distribution license to Adobe Systems Incorporated in 1988. Thomas Knoll, a Ph.D. student at the University of Michigan, began writing a program on his Macintosh Plus to display grayscale images on a monochrome display. This program (at that time called Display) caught the attention of his brother John, an Industrial Light & Magic employee, who recommended that Thomas turn it into a full-fledged image editing program. Thomas took a six-month break from his studies in 1988 to collaborate with his brother on the program. Thomas renamed the program ImagePro, but the name was already taken.[10] Later that year, Thomas renamed his program Photoshop and worked out a short-term deal with scanner manufacturer Barneyscan to distribute copies of the program with a slide scanner; a "total of about 200 copies of Photoshop were shipped" this way.[11][12]
During this time, John traveled to Silicon Valley and gave a demonstration of the program to engineers at Apple Computer and Russell Brown, art director at Adobe. Both showings were successful, and Adobe decided to purchase the license to distribute in September 1988.[10] While John worked on plug-ins in California, Thomas remained in Ann Arbor writing code. Photoshop 1.0 was released on February 19, 1990, for Macintosh exclusively.[13][14] The Barneyscan version included advanced color editing features that were stripped from the first Adobe shipped version. The handling of color slowly improved with each release from Adobe and Photoshop quickly became the industry standard in digital color editing. When Photoshop 1.0 was released, digital retouching on dedicated high-end systems (such as the Scitex) cost around $300 an hour for basic photo retouching. The list price of Photoshop 1.0 for Macintosh in 1990 was $895.[15][16]
Photoshop was initially only available on Macintosh. In 1993, Adobe chief architect Seetharaman Narayanan ported Photoshop to Microsoft Windows. The Windows port led to Photoshop reaching a wider mass market audience as Microsoft's global reach expanded within the next few years.[17] On March 31, 1995, Adobe purchased the rights for Photoshop from Thomas and John Knoll for $34.5 million so Adobe would no longer need to pay a royalty for each copy sold.[18][19]
Photoshop files have default file extension as .PSD, which stands for "Photoshop Document".[21] A PSD file stores an image with support for all features of Photoshop; these include layers with masks, transparency, text, alpha channels and spot colors, clipping paths, and duotone settings. This is in contrast to many other file formats (e.g., .JPG or .GIF) that restrict content to provide streamlined, predictable functionality. A PSD file has a maximum height and width of 30,000 pixels, and a size limit of two gigabytes.
From the beginning, Photoshop could save files in other formats, including TIF, JPEG, and GIF. These files are smaller than PSD files because they lack the editable features of a PSD file. These formats are required to use the file in publications or on the web. Adobe's discontinued program PageMaker required TIF format.
Photoshop can also create and use files with the extension .PSB, which stands for "Photoshop Big" (also known as "large document format").[22] A PSB file extends the PSD file format, increasing the maximum height and width to 300,000 pixels and the size limit to around 4 exabytes. PSD and PSB formats are documented.[23]
Because of Photoshop's popularity, PSD files are widely used and supported to some extent by most competing software, including GIMP, Affinity Photo, and Clip Studio Paint. The .PSD file format can be exported to and from Adobe's other apps, such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Premiere Pro, and After Effects.
