Problem with colors.

[Joe Hayter]

There's something wrong with my brushes. It's always set at the color white. Each time I use this, it come out white. It's really annoying me since my new way of making my banners uses them alot. So, how can I change the color? Is somebody else experiencing this? And by the way, this started happening a day ago.

You don't say what version of PS, and in version 7, the brush engine changed.

Click on your brush, make sure you are not on an adjustment layer, just a regular layer. Look at the Color Pallet (Window|Color) make sure the foreground box is selected, not the background. Press "D" to set your default colors to black and white.

So now, foreground should be black, background, white. Look at the options bar. Mode should be Normal, Opacity, 100%, airbrush (v6&7) should be OFF.

Does that help?

Sorry man, it didn't do anything. And my version is PS 6.0. But when I reset the color preferences, everything went back to normal. But in about 10 minutes it started doing the same thing. I installed PS 7 about and hour ago, and the color was set to white the first time I ran the program. Everything else works by the way, it's only the brushes.

Did you try resetting your preferences per the procedure in the FAQ?

[Joe Hayter]

Nope.

Answers like that will limit our ability to help you....

Then why are you asking for advice?

Just do like everyone else does when it is suggested that they reset their preferences and follow the procedure in the FAQ's or... not.

Maybe the image is in grayscale mode? Wouldn't that cause it to come out white? I hope I don't look like an idiot :)
