wilfredo Posted July 17, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 17, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) I upgraded yesterday to Photoshop CS4 and I just noticed that when I duplicate an image, it hides the original image. With previous versions you would have both versions open simultaneously which I liked and allowed me to work on both at the same time. Somebody please tell me that I am not forced to save the first image and then open it in order to work with both at the same time. I hope they did not decide to fix something that did not need fixing. How do I get around this idiotic improvement in CS4? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

archi4 Posted July 17, 2009 Share #2 Posted July 17, 2009 Now your original and duplicate are in the same window and you can switch from one to the other by clicking on the gray var at the top of the window. Go to the top where you see the blue PS logo, the hand and the magnifying glass among others. There is also a rectangle with three gray symbols in it and a drop down menu. Choose "float all windows" in the drop down menu and you can move your duplicate. If you click on the split symbol in the drop down menu which is 2-up you get your original and duplicate side by side and synchronized. If this isn't a clear explanation, let me know and I'll try again Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WPalank Posted July 17, 2009 Share #3 Posted July 17, 2009 I was working on this when archi answered. Here is the diagram. Make sure you duplicate the image first or the area circled in red will be grayed out. [ATTACH]152654[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why the guys who produce these videos move through their explanations at ligtning speed? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
