I hope you guys are up for a challenge, because you wont be able to google this.

 

I just got a new iMac, which is an awesome creature! It'll definantly survive if Darwin is right! Nevertheless, I'm on my trial with Adobe's Master Collection and my Photoshop CS5 is playing up.

I make a document in Photoshop and everthings fine to start out with.This is what it looks like:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then I insert a random image:

 

 

Which still is good. Then I pick my Magic Wand Tool (W) and BAM! My entire workspace looks like it's transparent, where it really isnt! As you can see on the above picture (test2), the document is only 286*301. But All of a sudden my workspace looks like this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Like you can see on this image, Photoshop threats my images as if everything was in perfect order. But if I work on a transparent background in Photoshop, then all of a sudden there's no boudaries for my image.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Am I really the only one who's tried this before? I tried to search on Google, but as soon as you put in 'transparent' and 'workspace' in google, then it gives you 100.000.000.000 results on how to set you workspace background so you can't see through it (to your desktop) in CS5.

 

Thank you.
