[Photoshop] Is it possible?

Hi there,

When I am in the selecting tool is there an option where it will show how many pixels i have selected as in height and width?

Also can u get the measurements for the current open image

Thanks...

Yes, there is an info tab (usually on the right hand side) You can select it to display in various measurements, pixels, cm's etc.

For the image measurements go to Image > Image Size. And the default values will be the current image's size.

I think i have changed a feature or something and now everything seems darker than it is, for instance if i print screen and paste it would be darker than it actually is?

What have i done?

Here is what i get when I take a print screen of the use of photoshop in paint:

If I then save the picture I have open in Photoshop it comes out in normal colors:

What have I done?

Make sure

Image > Image Mode > RGB is selected.

Unless you're working for print, where CMYK should be used.

Yup RGB is already selected....no change

Try going to edit>Colour settings and change the profiles around to see if that makes a difference. If that fails, try Edit>'convert to profile' on an excisting document.

Hi there,

I have fixed it thanks to the guy above:

I had to change the colour settings.

Thanks...

No problem. What you probably did was click yes when it asks you to apply an customised colour profile at startup.

I have the same problem but I can seem to get it to work. Can change to any colour setting and still remains the same colour...

What am I doing wrong.

Messiah Khan · 16 May 2006 at 11:18

Have you also checked that the image is set to RGB rather than CMYK or indexed etc?

Rednut05 · 16 May 2006 at 14:05

Yeah. Was set to RGB

Yeah thats what I did and i'm now happy.

I altered the following...When you click File, New and thena dialog pops up. I changed the Color Profile down the bottom there to my monitor one "True Internet Colour" and that has solved mine.
