Hello

whenever I load colour pdf docs into photoshop to resize or crop, the original shows as black and white only. WHY?

How can I get them to remain in their orginal colour?

Would be nice if the default would be color instead of the default being grayscale. Adobe please consider this change, it will be amazing.

Once you select a different option, it should be sticky and be remembered going forward. Hopefully that helps so you don't have to switch every time after you first change it.

When you import a PDF into Photoshop there is an option to open it in grayscale or RGB or CMYK. Reopen it and try to select a different color option.

PDF files can contain colours not supported in Photoshop. A sample PDF would be needed to specifically comment.

Hello Stephen, thanks for posting.

here's a sample pdf I'm wanting to use, as attachment

I want the red colour to remain once I've done some cropping in Photoshop.

That is not the original PDF. There is no way for me to examine the colour modes and elements in the original PDF file. It is a screenshot of the PDF saved as a PDF.
