Hi guys, any idea what I've done here, how to fix it etc.
Basically, all transparent colours in PS have gone grey, but it's still how I want it in ImageReady. I haven't altered any settings (that I know of), so any idea how to fix it?

Also because of this, when I cut with the pen tool, trying to make the selection it seems to select around the cut and I have to then select the inverse before I copy the selection?

Cheers in advance, I'd really like to fix this. :D

What format did you save the file in ImageReady?

I didn't save the file as anything in ImageReady, it was a PNG in Photoshop, and I just went to File > Open In ImageReady to see if the transparency in that had changed and it was still normal?

Open the file in Photoshop and save it as as psd format, dont close Photoshop and click on the icon "jump to imageready" (i invented the title: its the picture at the bottom of the toolbox just below the tool icons).
Eevrything should be all right then.

Done what you said, but when I then opened the PSD in PS afterwards, it was still with the grey and funny outline? :wacko:

Isuspect that when you saved the original as png you never had the Trasparency feature ticked and your Matte color was set to the grey that you now see.

And since you never saved it as a native psd file, which preserves layer transparency, now when you open the png file you lost the transparency.

hope that helps
