Photoshop Workspace Quick Question

nickb

I've somehow managed to f*ck up the background colour of Photoshop's workspace!

And its driving me mad - it's bloody bright pink!!!

Anyone know how to revert it back to the default?! I have no idea how I did it.

Minisweeper

but the question is, what were you doing playing with bright pink colours in the first place? Is there something you want to tell us, nickb?

nickb

No!

Unless my subconcious was trying to tell me something! It's quite embarresing actually when clients come to look at a mockup and are shown a big pink screen!

Edit > Prefs > Transparency & Gamut :D

nickb

No - its not the transparency that pink.

It's the normally grey area around the image. When you pull the corner of the image to expand its containing area - you normally have a grey background. Mine is pink. And I DONT KNOW WHY!!!!!!


aaaahrhrhghghrhrhH!

Ok, yeah, that is pretty damn weird if you ask me. I thought for a moment that it was your grid, I didn't take the time to notice the actual image so I figured it had to be that. No clue what's going on there but I couldn't find any setting on my end that would do that to the grid and it's outside border ._o

Choose a foreground color, select the paint bucket tool and Shift + click the area outside the canvas.

unfortunate

Is the pink on a seperate layer?

Oh well.. use the magic wand tool and click in the pink area. Paint bucket to fill the area to suit.

damn marti, I was totally unaware of that option. I'll have to remember that for future reference if I'm ever dealing with edges sharing the same color as stuff inside my canvas.

that's awesome, i'm going to change the background on a friend's machine...

He's going to hurt you. :D

Just as I had lost all hope, Marti saves me from HELL!

Thanks so much - now to terrorise every other photoshop user I know...
