I have Adobe Photoshop CS v8.0 with ImageReady and everytime I try to add a filter effect, I am unable to configure it the way I want, because the filter dialog box is way too large and I cannot seem to see the setting options. I've tried to resize the window; but it doesn't want to resize and I've also resized my desktop from 800x600 to the larger ones, but I can't stand to have my screen that large. Is there anyway I can fix this problem? It's really starting to bug me... Here is a capture of what my screen looks like everytime I try to apply a filter effect: Thanks in advance, -- J.

*BUMP*

Still having this problem! Can anyone help or is this just a normal problem with Photoshop CS... If it is, it's rather annoying and Adobe should fix it...

I have version 7.0 so i cant help you there with certainty. does the problem stay even if
the app is MaXiMiZeD [the top right buttons, {minimize},{restore/MAXIMIZE},{close}]?

Yes, it does. I always maximize the app. because it easier to view what you are working on if the project is a large one. I've also tried not maximizing the screen and still have this problem. I'm not sure why it's doing this, but it's really aggrivating after a while.

Thanks,

there has to be a way to resolve that.... hmmmnnn... it seems the filter window is
stretched too wide. how do you resize that in v8.0? double-clicking a window title bar
(where it shows "Colored pencil 100%" in your sample image) usually toggles it from
big > small, small > big. still won't work? can you not manually stretch it back and
forth (with stretch arrows along its border)?

but i don't know if it would work with your version. will think of some solutions still
if there are any left update us on how it goes.

As far as I know, that bar is the only way to adjust a filter preview, so try setting it to 100% or less.

I already tried that one, and I have also tried double-clicking the browser bar at the top to see if that would resize it. Niether of them worked. I suppose I will just have to live with it being this annoying...

Thanks for all the help,
