Photoshop CS3 vs CS4 feature issue

January 12, 2009 8:45 AM

In Photoshop CS4, is there a way to get the quick document size preview feature linked to the document info section at the bottom of an image window like it was in CS3 and earlier?

With Photoshop CS3 and CS2, if you click on the document info area at the bottom of a document window, you get a quick preview of the image's size and placement relationship to the chosen page size. In CS4, this is no longer the case. Clicking in that area now displays a drop-down menu.

Can I make this section act like it used to?

(I'm asking on behalf of a CS4 user who recently upgraded. I still have CS3.)

If you can believe this, they took it out.

Which frustrates me to no end. I've not been able to find any key modifier that brings it back - if anyone has found the double-secret hidden toggle for it, please let us know.

I was afraid of that. I'm installing the cs4 trial now to do an exhaustive search for the feature.
