help! one for the Photoshop gurus
just came across something weird with Photoshop (PS 7 on OS X)... Normally I have my PowerBook at home and plugged in to a 21 monitor that sits to the left (remember to the left - sounds trivial but is important) of my PB - as this monitor is somewhat old and a bit faded I use this for my menus etc and have the picture I'm working on displayed in the PowerBooks screen. I went to a users office to do some quick photoshoping for something they need to get to a publisher and came across a very curious problem. I started the Powerbook without the second monitor (obviously) and launched Photoshop and while the toolbars and pallets where now located on the built in, now only, screen when ever I tried to pull up the layer blend window or the layer effect window it was off on to the now non existent monitor. I tried detect monitors but the powerbook knew there was only the internal so it was obviously a photoshop issue. tried Photoshop's view menu options and changing the resolution but no mater what the lost windows would not come back. In the end plugged in my powerbook in to the users monitor - fortunately they had a Apple LCD so correct monitor plug and the external monitor appeared and arrange by the system to the right of the built in screen... but still no layer pallet until I rearranged the external monitor in the control panel so it was logically to the left bingo... dragged it back to the internal monitor then unplugged the external so he could use his mac again. just got me thinking - what if next time there isn't a spare monitor or I don't have my apple to vga adaptor? Just how would I get this pallet back then? -- ~ Mark Secker [EMAIL PROTECTED] ph#9380 1855 (ECEL) ECEL Computer Support Officer, University of Western Australia.

Mark, On the PC, I use the menu option Window -- Workspace -- Reset Palette Locations - this 'should' reposition palette windows to within your system identified monitor screen size ?
