Restoring default preferences
The preferences files store palette and command settings information. Each time you quit Adobe Photoshop, the positions of the palettes and certain command settings are recorded in the respective preferences file. Any selections you make in the Preferences dialog box are also part of this type of application file.At the beginning of each lesson in this book, you will be told to reset the default preferences, using a three-key combination. This deletes any options you may have selected in the Preferences dialog box.You can ignore the instructions to reset your preferences. If you do so, be aware that the tools, palettes, and other settings in your Photoshop CS2 application may not match those described in this book, so you may have to be slightly more resourceful in finding things. With that in mind, you should be able to do the lesson without other difficulties.Saving your monitor-calibration settings is a simple procedure that you should perform before you start work on this book; the procedure is described in the following section. If you have not custom-calibrated your color monitor, this procedure is unnecessary.Saving the options you may have selected in the Preferences dialog box is beyond the scope of this book. If you are not sure how to do this yourself, get help from your network administrator. Otherwise, you can simply keep a record of preferences that you've customized, and then restore them manually after you finish these lessons.To save your current color settings:
| 1. | Start Adobe Photoshop. | | 2. | Choose Edit > Color Settings. | | 3. | In the Color Settings dialog box, examine the Settings menu.If the Settings menu is Custom, go on to Step 4 of this procedure.If the Settings option is anything other than Custom, click OK to close the dialog box. You do not need to do anything else. | | 4. | Click the Save button. (Be careful to click Save, not OK.)The Save dialog box opens. The default location is the Settings folder, which is where you want to save your file. The default file extension is .csf (color settings file). | | 5. | In the File Name field (Windows) or Save As field (Mac OS), type a descriptive name for your color settings, preserving the .csf file extension. Then click Save. | | 6. | In the Color Settings Comment dialog box, type any descriptive text that will help you identify the color settings later, such as the date, specific settings, or your workgroup. | | 7. | Click OK to close the Color Settings Comment dialog box, and again to close the Color Settings dialog box. |
To restore your color settings:
