Hi, I’ve managed to change the default (grey?) color around any image… Hmm, difficult to explain but if make a new image (ctrl+n) in 100×100 size with white as backgrond everything is OK. BUT, when I increase the window area the color around it is red instead of the default color. How did I do this and how can I change it back to normal?
I’m using PS 5.5

Thank you,
T.

Change your foreground colour to mid grey (R=1215 G=125 B=125). Select the Paint Bucket tool, then you can fill the window area with your foreground colour by holding down the shift key and clicking on the area.

That should say R=125, excuse the typing error.

Actually, I believe the default is R 192, G192, B192. You can also get it back by trashing preferences.
