having some problems with photoshop

lAnonymousl · 10-September-03, 04:34 PM

I'm having some trouble with the colors in PS. I just installed it and everything is tinted purple! I've never used it before but how do I get the regular colors back? I've tried changing the color but it always goes back to purple. Here is a screenshot of what I'm talking about. God I hate that color....Can someone plz help me out here? Thanks.

try going to

image - mode - then change it to RGB or CMYK mode

see if that helps

lAnonymousl · 10-September-03, 08:29 PM

Nope that didn't work. You guys have any other suggestions? I really want to get started on a sig tonight.

hawklen · 10-September-03, 08:35 PM

I can't think of any reason. Maybe uninstall it, then reinstall PS. That might help.

Try this Anon....Havent tried it myself, but may work

Reset Photoshop Preferences
``````````````````````````````````````````
You can now reset them on startup by holding down Shift+Alt+Ctrl. And of course on the Mac with Shift+Option+Command

lAnonymousl · 10-September-03, 10:11 PM

Damn nothing helps!!! I uninstalled/reinstalled....nothing. Did the Shift+Alt+Ctrl....nothing. My bro just installed the same one on his comp and it worked flawlessly. No problems at all....so do you think it might be something with my comp, or another program I have installed?

try using different color profiles. If that is not the issue I don't know what else to tell you.

AntiM · 11-September-03, 03:35 AM

Do you have any color calibration software installed? Something that came with your vid card? Disable it. Run Adobe gamma to calibrate your monitor. If that doesn't work try completely disabling Adobe Gamma in your start up folder. Or try removing any color profiles in your monitor control panel.

For some strange reason your Green channel is completely opposite your Red and Blue Channel on the highlight side. That's the color you would normally get with R at 255, Blue at 255 and Green at 0. The Green channel is backwards.

lAnonymousl · 11-September-03, 04:00 AM

Damn AntiM, you're good.

I ran Adobe Gamma (although I didn't change anything) and it was fine. Go figure. Thanks alot.

godfoot · 11-September-03, 04:07 AM

Well, at least was on the right track... lol
I gotta say AntiM that you should go on Jeopardy. It seems that you have a lot of knowledge on MANY
subjects and I can't recall any of your advice ever being wrong. 3 cheers!

in no way am i complaining about where this is posted, but do you think we might be able to ask Duck to put this into the photoshop section? its a good problem to refer back to in the future.

jinxÂ© · 11-September-03, 02:01 PM

Good idea flounder.

Whats the best method of getting Duck to do that?

Heres another good link for Reseting the Preferences File:

Also, under WinXP (Show Hidden Files and Folders must be enabled), you can browse to :

C:\Documents and Settings\"Yor User Name Here"\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop\7.0
and delete the "Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Settings" folder to reset them.
