I like to use LAB fairly often and have done so in CS2 with no trouble.

Now that I’ve loaded CS3, same image converts to black. All over black. Edge to edge black. I mean BLACK!

All channels are active (L, a, b). No mask is in effect. My working space is ProPhoto.

If I convert it back to RGB, the image is still there.

What’s going on here with CS3? I’ve done the usual color settings. I’ve deleted my preferences.

Also, when loading PSCS3, a message always pops up saying "there must be at least one document open to run this script!" Don’t know where that comes from either.

I’m thinking I’d better uninstall CS3 and start over. Before doing so, though, I’d appreciate any advice to figure this out before going drastic. Many thanks in advance.
