Hi– I just loaded PSE 2.0 on my iMac this morning, so my apologies in advance for this very basic question. (I’m also just new to the whole Mac thing, so that probably doesn’t help either.) The book I am using as a guide (Photoshop Elements 2 Solutions) says that when you first open the program, the work area or canvas area defaults to a grey color. However, when I have PSE up, the background area is my desktop picture, not a grey canvas.
I’ve tried following the somewhat unclear directions from the Solutions book to change the color (select a foreground color, select the Paint Bucket, then while holding the shift key, click inside the canvas), but that doesn’t work. I’ve also tried looking in the PSE User Guide, but I can’t find anything in there that addresses this problem. I’m sure it’s something simple, but I don’t know what it is! Can anyone help me? Thanks for your time.
