I am new to using Photoshop 7.0 and unfortunately am away from home where all my reference manuals are to PS. I mistakenly closed the navigation paltette (which normally is on the top right above other palettes) and somehow have "lost" the main viewing screen of PH. It is as if the "current" base layer is invisible so my MS desktop shows through. When I try to open a photo is shows up only as a small photo on the history palette.

Is there someway to restore the original PS factory/default settings? Or can someone help me restore the main viewing screen of Photoshop 7.0 and recovery the navigation palette?

Please email me directly

Sandra,

Delete your prefs file. Details in the FAQ at the top of this forum’s Topic List

Can’t quite envisage what you’re describing, but maybe resetting prefs is the answer. There is an FAQ, but briefly: Immediately after clicking to launch PS, hold down CTRL-ALT-SHIFT. You should get a dialog asking if you want to delete settings – say Yes.
