Question
One of my designers accidentally changed the non-canvas area
of photoshop (typically colored with 50% black) to orange. How
do I change it back to the 50% black?
She is using photoshop 7.0
Thanks!
Hey there Sky,
First make your foreground color (in your color swatches) 50% black. Then select the paint bucket tool, hold down the Shift key, and click anywhere in the orange area. The orange area should change back to 50% black.
Likewise, you can follow the same steps to make that area any color you want.
Hope this helps! Please post back if it doesn't. I tested this in CS to make sure of my answer, but I'm sure I've done it in v.7, and can't remember using any other method.

Expertise
I've used Photoshop since the release of version 2. I taught college commercial art and graphic design for 10 years, and within that realm, taught Photoshop at every level, and with each successive product upgrade. My experience with Photoshop is thus extensive and well-rounded, from photo retouching to color adjustment to incorporating Photoshop and ImageReady into Web design. I am primarily a Mac user (since 1985), but am also PC-savvy.
Experience
I've been a graphic designer for 22 years, was a national magazine art director, a designer for the Department of Defense, a college art instructor, and have my own freelance Web and graphic design business, LittleWorks (www.little-works.com). I've also worked for several printing companies, in both prepress and art.
