    PS image background setting question

    I somehow set the background on all my images to black, instead of the gray. I can't figure out for the life of me A) How I did it, and B) how to turn it back.

    The white part of the screen is the image canvas size. The black part is what you see when the image is shrunken down smaller than the image window.

    Oh, I'm using CS2.

    Re: PS image background setting question

    I'm on a Mac here at work and to change the BG color all I have to do is Control click on the BG and it gives me the option to change it to Gray, Black or a Custom Color. Most likely a control, or alt click on a PC but I would have to check when I get home to be sure.

    I just checked on my PC and all you have to do is right click on the area behind your canvas and you will get the option to change the color back to gray.
