How can I check if my default preferences have been restored? I did the shift-control-alt command when I launched the program but I’m not getting any dialog boxes to tell me that they’re restored. Is there somewhere I can check that will tell me?

Thanks!

If you don’t get the dialogue box then your preferences haven’t been reset- simple as that! Have another go, make sure you press ctrl + alt + shift as soon as possible and keep them pressed down. It can be tricky sometimes!

Help with making Photoshop computer default image package

I uninstalled Paint Shop Pro to install Photoshop. I still get all new images, including e-mail attachments transferred into Paint shop files. I have tried changing file format preferences to Photoshop but still can’t get it working properly

Robert,

It’s File Associations: Right-click on an image file in Explorer and choose "open with". In the dialog select Photoshop and tick the box "use this always", or something like that.

BTW, you posted your question the wrong way: as a reply to a different question. In your case you’ve had to start a new thread.
Help is yours quicker that way.

robert, just reinstall photoshop… select custom install. that gives you a list of all supported formats. select any or all to ps or image ready.

and rob is correct. stating a new thread is the way to go for faster help, just for future refrences.

Hi all,

I have a question regarding the Palette locations for Adobe Photoshop 6.1. In PS 5.5 there was a *.psp file that, if for some reason your palette’s reset to their default locations, you could drag into Photoshop and the palette locations will be restored. Restored not to the default, but to the locations specified by the user.

In Photoshop 6.1, I can find no such file.

Would somebody be kind enough to help me either find this file, or inform me of another way save the locations of my palette’s.

it’s under the hidden folder applicaion data. make sure you’re able to see hidden files and folders (should be something like windows explorer> tools> folder options)

under xp it’s in:

C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USERNAME\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop\6.0\Adobe Photoshop 6 Settings

the location will change by operating system, but the main loc you want to find is that Application Data folder.

Thanks heaps for that. If you serach for ‘adobe photoshop settings file’ on google, it will take you to a page here at the Adobe site that explains where to find this file relative to version and OS.
