hi guys, complete beginner having issues with the filter gallery. Torn Edges filter used to give a black and white result, suddenly the result is beige and white. changing the colour of the image beforehand ended in the same result. any ideas? thank you (Y)

Correct answer jane-e

The filter uses the Foreground and Background swatches (Tools panel). With the Filter Gallery closed, use the keyboard shortcut "D" to reset the swatches to the defaults of B&W. (There is also an icon just above the Foreground swatch.) Then try your filter again.

The filter uses the current foreground color for the effect. If you press 'D' first, to set the colors to the default black and white, it should give what you're used to.
