Area surrounding canvas is red, it's supposed to be gray.

Photoshop V.8 Macintosh OS 10.2.8. This behavior just started today. Old documents and /or new documents. The pale gray area that surrounds the images or canvas when using "Full Screen Mode With Menu Bar" is now bright red instead of gray. It's disturbing and distracting and I don't know how to fix it.

Set your foreground color to a mid-gray 128R, 128G, 128B; Select the Paint bucket and Shift-click on the currently-red canvas-surround. That should fix it.

I thought the default was 192.

Equal numbers with density -- and salt -- to taste.

192 ÷ 256 = 0.75

Default gray, as far as I understand it.

50% gray has long been considered too light.

What do I know? ...ask the Zone System people.

??????

192 is lighter than 128 (50% gray) -- or it is on my machine ……

Ann you are correct. Higher numbers equla lighter. But the default apron color is 192,192,192 as far as I can tell.

I believe that you are right, but the user can set it to any shade that suits them.

Sorry...put my brain in upside-down after I got up this morning.

Still...192 it is.
