My Photoshop is possessed! It changes the preset all the time as if it had its own mind. For example, each time I hit Cntrol+N for a new document, it comes out clip board size, and 720×480, with different color ranges! And the brush tip-point comes out the + point one time, and the circle with the brush size other times. I don’t want all these random preference! I never changed my preset! And I am the only one using this PC!

Or maybe just its Preferences File! Try resetting it (as per the FAQs) then always make sure you close Photoshop properly before switching off the computer.

The TAB key toggles between these two states. Could that be the cause?

If you have an image on the Clipboard, Photoshop makes the assumption that you want to paste into a new document. Just change it in the dropdown.

And you see the Caps Lock toggle situation.

User, not Photoshop.

Thanks Rob.

Senior moment – even though I’m not (quite) officially senior yet! 😉

It’s a very elastic threshold.

Today it’s quite stretched!

Whatever advanced age you are…it’s five years in the future.

Actually, I’m looking forward to the freebies. Not long now…

It starts off with Selective Amnesia: I still know my address, but I forgot who lives there.

Scolars studying my work concluded recently that the number of my working brain cells now must be a negative number.

They’re still figuring whether it’s age or the total of vats of Irish Whiskey.

Still playing LP’s of The Who is also considered geriatric

You guys are amateurs. How’s this for a geriatric laundry list—all in one morning: Put laundry in trash can, trash in laundry hamper. Searched for spectacles I was wearing. Forgot who I was calling after dialing. Went to drugstore, left prescriptions at home. Showed up for appointment one week early. Uhhmmm—I forget the long list I started with. (-:

Edit: And, of course, got the smiley symbol backwards! 🙂

Thank you very much.
Caps Lock? I have not used it for Photoshop.
Tab key? I haven’t even thought of that, either.
Thank you!

"Caps Lock? I have not used it for Photoshop."

See, that’s the elusive beauty of the CapsLock key!

It very quietly helps itself to the underside of your finger whilst you’re reaching for the Shift key!

And it doesn’t mind being activated by accident, not even one tiny bit.

😉 XD
