Problem with Photoshop

[CLOVER~!]

My Adobe Photoshop will not allow me to use my brushes with color, if I create a new transparent layer everything only shows up in black, even though I have it in RGB mode.. I don't know if I messed up a pre-set. If anyone can help me, let me know.

sounds weird . if you've checked to make sure you're in rgb mode , then the only thing I can suggest is to make sure you are not brushing on a channel instead fo a layer . I don't think messing with the presets could do it either .

if all else fails try closing photoshop and restarting

or better yet try a different brush set. if it still black then something els is wrong

The new layer you're brushing on, perhaps you have it on one of the blend modes, causing it to do that?

thanks for the input, nothing seems to be working, I've tried to restart the prog, same issue, can do anything, but use my brushes

try this real quick

start Photoshop or ImageReady and, as it starts, hold down Control+Alt+Shift (Windows) and then click Yes to the prompt "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"

[CLOVER~!]

that prompt never came up

[Docpepper]

did you hold those buttons while it was starting up ?

[CLOVER~!]

now I did, still nothing...

--moments later I have also completely just uninstalled Adobe, and reinstalled.. now works.

[Docpepper]

hmm I dunno what caused that . usually most problems are caused by prefs file being messed up and usually trashing those works. good to see you got it working though

thank you for all your help, and congrats on winning your first match on the revolution tourney.
