Just did a clean install with CS4 master. Retail copy.
this is the 1st time using photoshop since moving up to 4 from 2.
I scanned a form as .tif
when I open there is the form perfect but I can’t add a layer becuase it is in indexed mode.
change to RGB and all of a sudden I have a 75% grey over layer. I copy background layer to create new layer….same thing. I bump up the exposure and it goes back to regular black text on white paper look.
But when I hit OK….it fills with 75% grey again.
If I hit layer>layer masks>show all….I get a mask linked to my form. Form is black mask is white and they are linked. If I unlink and change exposure….same thing happens. I can see the form correctly until I hit ok….and then…back to 75% grey.
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? is this a defualt setting or new feature set I am not aware of becuase I skipped a version?
thanks
