I am working on Photoshop 6.0.1 on a Macintosh working with system 9.2. By some kind of accident (I really don’t know how I have done it) the full screen mode with menu bar appears a pinkish colored background instead of the usual neutral grey background. How can I brind it back to the way it was? Thank you!
PS. I have tried to restart the computer and relaunch the application and nothing changed.

You mean the screen area around an open pic? With Windows, pick the neutral gray you want for foreground color (192/192/192 generally), use paint bucket and shift+click on the background. Prolly same on Mac.
You’ve probably SHIFT-CLICK on the on the background with the paint bucket while viewing a picture with at full screen mode. Here’s how to fix this : First, make your current foreground color gray (RGB values : 192, 192, 192). Then, while in full screen mode, click on the paint bucket tool. Then, SHIFT-CLICK outside the image area. That should fix your problem.
Alos, keep in mind that this is the Photoshop Elements Forum, a different software from Photoshop.
If you maximize the image window and you press on the TAB key, the tool box and palettes will disapear. Press a couple of times on CTRL + and you will have a full screen mode.
Hi Ray and Wendy, Great on my Mac, Apple + then Apple -! Neat tricks, thanks. Signing off now, gotta listen to my local radio station, the Blues! Till tomorrow, Jane
The best way to work in full screen mode is to grab the Quick Reference Card (bundle version : print it) and let it near the keyboard. You won’t need the tool box and you’ll have access to all your tools!
I should hook up my extra monitor to my Mac and use it in ‘extended mode’. Tools on the left one and picture on the right one. Its a real old crt, but I should give it a try. Jane
