Please Help! photoshop acting weird!

The circle above... looks circle?

Yeah, that's a perfect circle. You really need to get on a completely different computer if at all possible and look at this thread.

Monitor resolution won't fix the problem either. Two things:
-a) If you have a CRT (big bulky monitor), adjust the H length and V length under your monitor's onscreen options. This seems like it should make the most sense to me.
-b) Kinda a last resort, but uninstall and reinstall your graphics drivers.

As for the first attached image... check this out:



Microsoft paint and a billion dollars say the two biggest circles have different aspect ratios.

ok... I have a nice 31" LCD so its not the monitor or computer/vid card cause i have been using photoshop for years without this happening... 2nd I think EnjoyCG.com changed the picture ration when I uploaded the attached imaged so i dont think we can use those as references... please view this image as a new frame of reference:

To me this looks like a giant oval..

Nope, definitely a circle. Is there any way you can jump on another computer and check out this thread so you can see what we're talking about?

At this point, if I were you I'd probably go ahead and do whatever I needed to do, and just trust that when you export the image to another computer everything will be fine. Depends on the ramifications of your project ofc.

Well... after spending quite a bit of time on my monitors website I found the information i needed... I also learned what 16:9 means... The really weird part is that I dont remember changing my resolution anytime recently.... and have been using PS fine for the past couple days. Anyway all I had to do was put it on the right resolution which was any one that had a 16:9 ratio... I thank you all for your help... and appolgize for fussing over something so dumb... lol

[Jelmer]
