Sounds like your frontmost document is in bitmap mode. > If the program is somehow corrupted and I need to reload Photoshop, is > there a way of saving the colour settings and other preferences, > especially the keyboard shortcuts I have laboriously set up (I would > anyway save a copy of the Plugins and Presets folder)? The Color Settings dialog has "Save" and "Load" buttons. The keyboard shortcuts dialog has a save icon that looks like a disc. But you don't need to use either of these, or save your plugins or presets folders. These are not where any of your settings are saved. (Exception: you may have third party plugins that have been installed in your plugins folder, and you may want to save those rather than re-install them after re-installing Photoshop). All your settings, presets, etc. are saved in your "Adobe Photoshop CS Settings" folder, which is saved in a local (per-user) folder and is not affected by reinstalling the application. 1. The first thing to try is just resetting your preferences. If you don't want to set your color settings again, save them first (just save them in the default location and they'll show up in the popup menu in the future). To reset your preferences, hold down cmd+opt+shift (ctrl+opt+shift on Windows) while launching Photoshop and answer Yes when asked if you want to reset the settings. 2. If you want to reinstall (this is almost never necessary), just put the adobe photoshop cs folder in the trash (on Mac) or use the uninstall option on windows, and then re-run the installer. All your settings will be preserved. Russell =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
