Guides in document are black, but settings are blue

[moomoogarsdale]

I have gone to settings > general > guides/rulers and made sure the color was blue.

BUT I hit some odd key combo in my document and now ALL guides are always black,but they remain blue in settings. How can I reset? Tried to reset the workspace, that didn't do it. Reset guides, removed guides, closed program, opened, rebooted, updated. Nothing is allowing me to change the colors of the guides in my document. All helps take me to settings, yet settings are correct.

What can I do to switch them back?

Try resetting the prefernces:

To manually restore preferences to default:

• Find the preference file that you want to reset and move it to another location. When you restart Photoshop, a new preference file will be created in the original location. See Preference file functions, names, and locations.

To restore preferences quickly using a keyboard shortcut:

• Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings. The new preferences files are created the next time you start Photoshop.

Note: Using the keyboard shortcut, preference files for custom shortcuts, workspaces, and color settings will also be reset to default.

Same issue. And proposing resetting all settings as a solution isnt really helping. We do set tones of settings on purpose, and re-setting it all over again is waste of time (money). We should try to find a reason why the guides are black, even tho in settings they are default cyan.

Sometimes they get messed up by Photoshop (no idea why), so it's like throwing away the prefs in the "olden days." And it's a pain but it works.

If you have artboards, then artboard guides can have different colours, however, it's probably a corrupt preference file issue.
