Blocky
Hello,
A strange glitch, for the last couple of days when I have saved a psd file and then put it in a folder (or left it in the folder), the preview image has been very pixellated/blocky. If I move the file onto the desktop it shows up fine.
I seem to remember when I first had this computer I had the same problem, but can't remember how I got rid of it. Am still on CS5 and Apple with no recent upgrades.
I turned the computer off and on again and all is now fine.
I enclose a screenshot, has anyone else had this 'glitch'?

Re: Blocky
I think this is just a question of the Mac not reading the desktop file correctly. In the old days we used to have to rebuild the desktop occasionally, now it does it automatically - hence the improvement when you restart.

If it bothers you, use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions. In fact, you should do this anyway on a fairly frequent basis.

Re: Blocky
Thanks Steve, I haven't used Disk Utility for a while.
Hope you had a good holiday.
