I cannot create new image with 16 million colours

Post by Drof »

Hi

Something weird has happened to my PSP X2 and I cannot create a new image with 16 million colours - 256 is the maximum.
I was working with a large image yesterday which crashed the program so has the palette screwed up?
Any idea how to reset this?

Cheers

Chris

Hi,
PSP is maybe corrupted.

Launch it with shiftkey down (maintain down) until it asks you if you want to reset to its initial state. Say YES.
Warning, this remove your settings (Workspace and Preferences) so you need to save them before you do the reset. The reset is safe : it doesn't modify your files saved before not remove your plugins, etc.

Thanks Jean-Luc.

I've tried this but no joy.
I'll have to get my IT guys to reinstall it.
