FWIW, I just discovered that Adobe offers free 30-day trials of many
of its products. I haven't used Photoshop here at home in years -
usually it's just a tool on a client's machine on-site. So I'm
downloading the Photoshop tryout right now. Big! 300+ MB. But then I
can see if I can reproduce any of the problems you're having, instead
of poking blindly. :)

Dan, I appreciate your help very much. This is driving me nuts. I also
asked for help over in the Adobe user-to-user forum,
http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@.3bbd97dd#post , and somebody there just wrote
this:
"I may have found an EASY solution. I went to my USER prefs folder and
trashed all the CS2 PS files and folders. I then booted into my Test
User account, which would open photos in PS. I copied all the same
files and folders that I had just deleted from my master account into a
folder on the hard drive. In fact it may be easier just to delete all
the preferences in your test user account, then open PS CS2. This will
generate all new preferences that should work. Copy all those into a
folder. Switch back to the regular account and replace all of your
Preferences with these from your test user. This worked for me and I
had the same problem that you did."
Trouble is, I don't know what the "Test User" is that he's talking
about. He's running 10.4 (I have 10.3.9); maybe it's something new in
10.4. Test Users are not mentioned in Pogue's OS-X Missing Manual book,
which was written before 10.4 came out.
Maybe I can just steal the prefs folders from any new, working account
I create. Now I just have to figure out which files and folders those
are. . .
