Hi,

I have a serious problem with my version of Photoshop 7.0

When I first setup my photoshop as I have always done, I clicked through and chose a random answer to a dialog box that appeared thinking nothing of it cause I had never had any trouble before setting it up. Apparently, the dialog box was unique to my monitor type. I have a samsung that has three settings (Text, Internet, Entertain). Whatever I chose, now any thing I work on in Photoshop is considerably darker than it actually is outside of Photoshop. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, deleted every registry I could find that I believed relevant to Photoshop, and tried reinstalling and I can’t seem to get that dialog back or find a place in the program to change the settings to fix this.

If anyone has any idea how to fix this please let me know. I am a web designer who uses Photoshop for nearly all of my graphical work and I’m really stuck now. Thanks.

A little difficult to answer, as we don’t know what the dialog box that you’re referring to is, but I’ll take a guess that it is the Colour Settings.

In the Edit menu, you should see "Color Settings", select that, and tell us what the settings are – it may be that your default colourspace is wrong for your setup/monitor.

Also, have you run Adobe Gamma? This is a colour management applet in the Control Panel (assuming Windows) that calibrates your monitor.

If this doesn’t help, check out Ian Lyon’s site <http://www.computer-darkroom.com/ps7-colour/ps7_1.htm> on colour management in Photoshop 7 – fifteen minutes in there should get you sorted.

In addition to Klaas’ advice (and please DO read Ian’s site), the message probably said that there was a problem with your profile, but it is difficult to say.

Take this in a friendly way, this is what I tell my friends and family…

Do you know why they put those annoying dialog boxes on your screen?

SO THAT PEOPLE WILL READ THEM!

In truth, that’s a bad habit I see a lot of people do, especially on the Internet and the next thing you know… something’s screwed up.

Just a little friendly advice.

Peace,
Tony

I am unable to locate the Paint Bucket Tool!!!

I have checked Help and the manual — both make reference to it but do not indicate where to find it — It is NOT on the Tool Bar!!

Thanks for any help you may provide,

Pete
