Photoshop and image help

[shyampc]

I want help on the problems below;

1. While selecting a portion in Photoshop, and pressing the DEL key is not deleting the selected part. I have to press SHIFT + DEL key for this.

2. While I try to edit images, the colors are shown only in grey. This does not occur all times, but occasionally this happens, and after I close that window and open another, the problem solves.

Can anyone help me with these problems?

First, you should really try to keep topics related to .Net when posting on this forum.

Second...

1. Do you have the layer from which you want to delete selected?
2. This happens when you open an image with grey-scale color properties. You can change the color properties of an image in one of the menus items.

sorry if I posted on wrong forum. I posted it seeing the Graphics and Multimedia heading. Please move this to relevant forum/board.

1. No, I dont have a layer. I just open an image and select some area to delete. It does not get deleted by pressing DEL key. That is the problem.

2. Not on images with grey scale properties - When I open a normal image and try to edit, the colors are only in grey. When I close that window an open one with the image again, there is no problem with colors. That is the problem.

shyampc, this is a programming board. The Graphics and Muiltimedia forum is still limited in scope to DotNet programming. As far as your problems with photoshop...

1. Is the layer locked? Is Edit>Clear disabled?

2. If you open or paste an image and it appears to be grayscale, you are probably working in grayscale mode. Go to Image>Mode, and select RGB or CYMK.
