Photoshop default colors

[emmerse]

I checked the help in PS CS2 and couldn't find anything.

Is there a way to set the default colors in PS to white and 100% k instead of 75/68/67/90?

I do a lot of newsprint and 100k would be super sweet as a default.

anybody?

Without a doc open, set your foreground color to whatever you want, go to your color palette and click New Swatch and name it. It'll be there next time you start the program.

Or build yourself a custom palette and save it. You'll have to load it for each image you work on though.

I'm talking about just hitting "d" when you want to go back to white & black. PS's default colors.

What photoshop thinks black and white are depends on the colour profile. I don't think there's any simple way to change the default black to 100K, and even if there were, you'd probably find it caused more problems than it solved.

EDIT:

I take it back - it is simple. Under Edit -> Color Settings, you need to create a custom CMYK space, and change Black Generation to Maximum. That will make the default black 100K.

I stand by the part where I said it'll cause bad things, though.

sheesh, that's a bit scary.

PrintDriver: do you think this will cause any issues?
