Everything has been working fine for me in Photoshop 7.0 until yesterday when, all of a sudden, some of my favorite styles stopped working. The styles that I’m having problems with are SUPPOSED to have color overlays and therefore very colorful results in my images, but alas, when I try to apply those styles, they show up as the completely wrong color(s), or else they show up as shades of black or grey.
I just took a screen shot of my PS7 window (just the active image and the styles window):
Anyone who knows PS7 knows that the ‘Chrome – Fat’ style is supposed to have a blue border–but, if you look at the picture, it’s very much NOT blue, but grey instead, both in the styles window and in the image I’m working on. The 5 styles in the top of the styles window that look like plain white boxes are supposed be different colors, but again, they’re not. As you can see from the top of the picture, the image I’m working on is in RGB format–the one I’ve always used–so I don’t know why I’m suddenly having these problems.
I’ve read all the FAQs pertaining to colors and have taken their advice–most of them suggesting a calibration of Adobe Gamma–but with no good results. In fact, changing the Adobe Gamma settings only made things worse, because everything else on my computer (other programs, desktop, etc.) looks fine–Photoshop is the only thing causing any problems.
Short of re-installing Photoshop (which I tried to do but couldn’t because I’ve lost my serial number… oops!), what can I do to get my color back? I’m already sick of everything showing up like a black-and-white movie!
Thanks for any help you can offer! 🙂
