|
|
i have photoshop cs. and i have a problem i can't figure out. when i try to add a foreground color to a layer the color i add is NOT the color on the foreground palette screen. so lets say i want to add a dark blue that is the current foreground it will add a shade of blue that is NOT what i wanted.
what is going on?

Are you working with an RGB document or CMYK?
(Image - Mode - RGB Color)

Ok so you're trying to use the color #8E006C?
Try filling this color instead: #BC66A7
Take another screenshot and lemme know what happened.

turn off all colour management options in your preferences and then tell us if that has any effect. If you need help finding the preferences then just shout out.

Have you tried resetting your preference file?
Ctrl+Shift+Alt+W on program startup from memory.
