Color problem in ps elements 7?

I recently got a new computer for Christmas, and so i have reinstalled my ps elements onto it. I have been trying to draw this one picture and it was going perfectly well, that was until i switched to the internet and switched back to draw. Once i switched back, it wouldnt let me use any colors besides shades of black and white. I have NO idea what happened. It wont let me choose any other colors, if i try to click any color, like blue, and click "ok," it will just be a different shade of grey. And whats weird is, when i close the picture, my color comes back, but when i open a new document, it goes back to greyscale. Is there a way to fix this? Also, i notice when i have a document open, it says in the title area beside the title and layer "(grey/8)"
im not very good in computer knowledge, especially considering im pretty young.....
can someone please help??!?

Somehow you've created/converted to a greyscale image (that's what the "grey" means). Go to image>mode>RGB and you should be able to work in color again.

    Hi
    I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

    Do the following:
    Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
    Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
    Calibrate the monitor

  • Problem with Photoshop Elements Printing

    I have been using Photoshop Elements for a couple of years now and know it pretty well.  Today while attempting to print, a strange problem came up:  After going through the protocol to make a print, just before the image prints PE does a very fast auto correction that basically ruins all the color correction I have made on the image.  How do I disable this function?

    Hi and thanks for your reply. I checked the settings under "Print", "More Options", then "Color Management" and it only has "Print Space", none of the three options that you said I should have.  Am I looking in the wrong place?

      Check your color management by clicking More Options in the print dialog There are basically three options:1) Printer Manages Color2) Elements Manages color3) No color Management Make sure everything is consistent e.g. if you choose Elements manages color make sure color management is switched off in the print driver.

  • Colors locked in Photoshop Elements 6

    Colors locked in Photoshop Elements 6
    I created a 1 layer TIFF file in Photoshop Elements 6 with text only which was distorted then flattened. The result was grey text on a white background. The problem is I can't change the color of the gray text.
    I select the Foreground color icon on the tool bar at the left side, then I get the color pallet window, but no matter what color I select the Foreground color icon can only be gray or white (if I chose a lighter color).
    Somehow 24 bits worth of color choices are converted to 1 bit (gray or white), and there's no obvious controls to change this, no F1 help guides and no obvious knowledgebase or forum comments. Does the file format, which is unknown to me, govern Photoshop operations (?), which would of course make absolutely no sense even if it were true, because that should only be an output formatting decision.
    Thanks for any comment or reference.

    Thank you that worked perfectly.

  • Can you set the color of a specific element in a JList?

    Is it possible to set the color of a single element in a JList without writing lines and lines of your own class? I know setForgroundColor exists, it just changes all element in a JList, so is there a simple way to tweak it? i am still a newbie, so re-writing swing, would be a bit of a problem for me. Any Suggestions? thanks.

    you write your own renderer, about 6-8 lines, setting the color determined by an
    if/else statement - note: you must set the color in both if and else
    search the forums for
    "implements ListCellRenderer"
    and you should find plenty of examples
    if you just want the selected element a different color, you can do this with
    UIManager.put("List.selectionBackground", new javax.swing.plaf.ColorUIResource(Color.YELLOW));
    but you must do this before you create the JList, and it will affect all JLists in your program.

  • Problem with installing Elements - from noob

    I have problems with installing Elements, it gives my an unknown mistake - I already have CS4 up and running, could this be the case?

    Chances are not very good that pse 4 will run on os x 10 6.8 unless you were upgrading from an earlier mac version that already had pse 4 installed.

  • Problems installation Photoshop Elements 8 on Windows 7

    I tried to install Photoshop elements 8 on my Windows 7 computer, but the installation gives a failure after a certain time. A file "...cab" is not working and may be corrupt ( exact failure code I can give, if necesary). Is there any possibility to get this file or the program Photoshop Elements 8 as download file so that I can complete the installation? Thank you in advance for your answers. 

    Hello,
    I just got the same problem already some time ago when I tried to install this programm in my computer. At that time (March 2012) the program crashed my computer, I had to reinstall all the Software completely including system software. The program I purchased in December 2011 from Amazon together with a Reflecta crystal Scan slide scanner as bundle, so I thought it will work.
    I will try to install the program from the download link you gave me, in case it does not work, what can I do next without having to buy a newer version?

    You can download a fresh copy of the install files by following the directions listed at http://prodesigntools.com/direct-download-links-for-lightroom-3-and-ph otoshop-elements-8.html.
    I am curious did you have this installed previously or did you just purchase a copy of Photoshop Elements 8?

    Pictures would help. A good way to do this is to post them to a free photo sharing site like Flickr and then post a link.
    Also, you are in the original MBP section, and I think you need to post your question in the newer MBP section:

  • Has anyone had a problem installing PSE Elements 8.

    I have installed PSE Elements 8 from a new boxed CD onto a new Dell running Windows 7 Professional (64 Bit).
    PSE has loaded without any warnings and I get to the welcome screen OK. Organiser works fine but if I try and start Edit it just circles around back to the Edit prompt. I have tried getting in via Fix in Organiser which then advises Loading Elements workspace but then drops me back to menu.
    I have tried all the Tech Note suggestions but after hours of trying am still no further forward.
    I even downloaded and installed the trial version but I this performs in the same way.
    All suggestions welcome.  Thanks

    No luck.
    PE Editor does not open with Ctrl/Alt/Shift nothing...zilch
    Running PE Editor from this point using Open produces error message. PE Elements has stopped working - Close Program.
    Thanks anyway.

    The only other suggestion is try re-setting the Editor preferences as this often fixes conflicts. You will also be able to check that this part of the application installed correctly.
    Hold down the windows key to the left of Alt and press the letter E to launch Explorer
    In the left side pane click on Computer
    In the right pane double click on Program Files, then double click Adobe, then double click Photoshop Elements 8.0
    Use the right hand  scroll bar to move down the list of files and locate Photoshop Elements Editor With one hand holding down all three keys CtrlShiftAlt right click on the Editor file in the list and select open.
    You should see a pop up box with the words Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
    Click on Yes
    Close down Elements and re-open it in the normal way.
    Please let us know if that works.

  • Lightroom 4 color problem

    I imported tiff images into Lightroom 4 that were scanned by DigMyPics.com.  The color  of the images look good on the Windows 7 photo viewer.  It looks horrible in Lightroom 4.  My monitor is callibrated, the import develope setting is set to "none" , the box is unchecked "apply auto tone adjustments".   I think that the windows viewer is showing the accurate color of the scan and LR is not.  I don't think DigMyPics would send this awful color.  What could the issue be?

    Yes, that certainly looks like a problem with the Lightroom rendering. Skin tones and red in general is clearly off, while Windows Photo Viewer looks good.
    I'm almost certain this is a problem with the monitor profile. As troubleshooting, try to set sRGB as monitor profile (or Adobe RGB if your monitor is wide gamut), and see if the difference persists. But try to recalibrate first.
    What calibrator and what monitor?

  • A color problem in Apple's publishing App

    I was wondering if you could help me with this problem，I really need some help，and here it is：
    There is a Color problem in Mac publishing applications like Pages and Keynote，including iBooks Author，which really confuse me a lot。
    When you use a certain color space（sRGB IEC61966-2.1 in this case）to create some colors with Apps like Illustrator CS6，Indesign CS6 & Photoshop CS6 etc. ，they look totally fine。BUT when you use iBooks Author （V2.0）to create the very same color with the very same color space，colors still look fine in the color panel，and here comes the problem：they look totally lousy in the actual document！！In fact，they look much lighter and faded。（See Image 1&2）
    Above：Image 1
    Above：Image 2
    And this is also terrible with photos you import。（See Image 3）
    Above：Image 3
    Please tell me what I can do to solve this problem。I know maybe this is some sort of “basic” and “general” knowledge，but I really need your help。And I can't thank you enough if you can provide some effective solutions。

    As far as I can see,  the colour pallet and how colours are seen in any app on YOUR machine will depend on the computers System Preferences>Displays>Colour - choose your preferred setting.
    I suggest first that you ensure that your colour profile settings are the same ( as your computer)  in whatever Adobe application or in fact any outside image processor you use.
    Creating or using a colour profile in Adobe and having a different profile on your system - will tend  to  give different colour hues.
    A point also to remember is whatever you set up and is  transferred to your product... when seen on an iPad may well be totally different again due to peculiarities and contrast / brighness setting of the iPad user.

  • Pavilion gv laptop colors on monitor color problem

    I'm having color problems on my laptop. While the colors on my screen aren't terrible,most of the color/textures appear washed out and muted in comparison to other laptops I own. I've tried adjusting the brightness and calibrating the colors but it didn't fix the problem. I'm not sure what the problem could be. Thank you for your help.

    Hey @crawford810 ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand the colours on your notebook look muted. 
    Could you please tell me which notebook model you have and the installed operating system? For information on finding your product and model numbers click here: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? To see which version of Windows you are using click here: Which Windows operating system am I running?
    For an issue like this you will want to test an external monitor to see if the issue is coming from the display, the GPU, or from Windows.
    You will want to make sure your GPU and BIOS are up to date. You can download the most recent drivers and BIOS at the HP - Drivers & Downloads website.
    I look forward to your reply!
    Please click the "Kudos, Thumbs Up" at the bottom of this post if you want to say "Thanks" for helping!
