I can't seem to get my Photoshop to pick white. It just keeps giving me a creamy/yellow colour? Any ideas how to rectify this? I've tried picking white off of the colour pallette and no joy.
Cheers

| You mean you cannot pick a white color for painting or brushing? Sounds like you might need a monitor calibration, quite honestly. |

Look at the numbers in the R, G and B boxes; are they all 255? If so, you've chosen white. If it doesn't look white, then it's monitor setting problem.
You can manually enter 255 into each of the three boxes. This is pure white. |

255,255,255 is white.
if it doesn't look white then the problem is with your monitor.
edit... too slow. ya gotta be fast on this board...

Even when i open pictures that i know contain white, i can see them in white on other programmes, photoshop changes it to the cream colour?
For me to get white on photoshop the settings are 225, 255, 255 which isn't right, but then when i select it photoshop still throws it back to that %!$**&@ cream!!!

When you click "view" on the main menu, is "Proof Colors" checked? If so, uncheck it. |

| Could it have anything to do with your Adobe Gamma settings or your display profile settings for your OS? |

I was going to recommend just the opposite.
First, go to View | Proof Setup and click Monitor RGB. That will probably already turn Proof Colors on. But the next time you load a photo, all you'll have to do is clikc View | Proof Colors and you're set. (or hit CTRL-Y)

Hmmm. Let's step back & try something.
- Open a new document; does the background layer appear white in the document?
- Now choose the eyedropper tool and click the "info" tab on the histogram pallette. When you move the cursor over the image, are the R, G and B values all 255?
- Now pick that. Do you still get non-white? |
