Photoshop 7

Try resetting your prefs (instructions in the FAQs) and update to 7.01. Let us know if that helps 🙂

Thanx for the rapid answer.
I’m working with ME ver.
So I must wait for ME 7.01 update to lunch next week.

OK, you should still be able to reset your preferences though- it mends all sorts of strange Photoshop behaviour!

I installed Photo shop v7 on 30 May 03. I now have a program in my startup file called ‘Adobe Gamma Loader’which apparently starts every time i turn on my computer. Since I only use Photo shop on occasion how can I make this program only open when I open Photo shop? Does it have some purpose to be on all the time? What does it do?
I have read the FAQ’s and found only one related to Gamma Loader. Its my first time in these user forums. If I am in the wrong place please advise. Thanks, Fred MacDowell
Thank you,

Fred,

Expanding a little on Tony’s explanation, Adobe Gamma Loader is what loads your Monitor ICC Profile. You should have created a monitor profile with the Adobe Gamma applet in Control Panel.

There is absolutely no point in disabling it – it is what makes your monitor show the intended colours.

Do you mean the "Filter|Render|Lighting Effects" filter? If that is the one you mean, and it is grayed out, what mode is your image in? Some filters will only work in 8-bit images.

Don’t know what happened but restarted computer and lighting filter now works. Bernie

Klaas was asking about mode (image/mode menu) because many filters will not work in different modes (I think everything works in RGB, but in CMYK or greyscale, some don’t, and they will be greyed out.

Just some information if the problem recurs.
