I have been using PS7 for years now... and I have never had any problems.

Then, about 2 weeks ago... that all went to crap! I was editing wedding photos, and the next morning when I went to go bcak to editing... PS reset back to all of it's default settings. I had to go back in and figure out where all of my settings were at the night before and redo them all. We made a custom setting and saved it. We named it Normal.

Last night, I came home and wanted to work on a few pictures from the day out at the amusement park. Well... PS was set back to all the default settings AGAIN! So, basically, over night... it set itself back to default! And the custom we set, is now gone!

As long as I have been using this, this is the first (and second) time it has done this! I didn't change anything, I didn't go in and do anything different in my main computer. And I can't understand why?!?

Why, all of a sudden would PS just set back to default? What happened that it did this?

I need to get this to stop. I have my PS set a certain way for my editing, and now I can't figure out how to get back. Esp with the wedding I am working on... I can't have 3/4 of the pictures one way.. and the rest diffeent.

Can someone help me? PLEASE!

Thanks,
Lor

I would suggest reset everything to defaults, restart, and then customise it the way you want. Then if it still screws up, reinstall the whole thing.

No, but I think I had a similar experience with PS 5. I wonder if Adobe sent a spider out crawling the 'net looking for copies ...

Can they do that?

That's fascinating. The same thing happened to me, on PS7, a couple months ago, 4 or 5 times in a week and a half. The first time it happened, after I had reset my preferences I saved a copy of them to another folder on the HD, so I could copy them over to the correct directory when it went belly-up. So that's how to handle that.

But it's been fine for a couple months now...

I don't know, but I figure if I can think of it, then some bright software engineer may have as well ... most software problems seem to consist of adequately defining the problem to be addressed.

I wonder if some update Adobe is sending out is reseting the defaults?

Adobe sent me three different updates this week. Crashed my computer! So I got rid of them ;)
