PSP 2018 Setting: Paint Colors?

Post by Linda Lou »

Setting: Paint Colors?

I recall being in a hurry and being very focused on what I was doing, so I may have clicked on a setting someplace and just kept going.
Now after I set my paint colors on the palette, when I use the paint brush, text, or the Color Replacer tool , the colors change to last used. Obviously this is quite annoying when wanting to use a different color. Clicking on Presets to reset to default for paint brush didn't help. Is this a setting that constantly changes/reverts paint colors, or is this a Windows 11 problem that just started weeks after installing 11 and having no PSP issues until now?

On the materials palette there is a checkbox "All tools" if this is checked, then the materials palette will use the same last used color for all tools. If it's unchecked then it'll remember what color was last used with a tool and change to match the last used for that tool.

Thank you. It was unchecked. I checked it and that seems to have fixed the problem.
