  • Canvas is white! Help?

    Posted by Adrienne Grierson on April 15, 2007 at 3:23 am

    I was editing and cutting and copying, so I could have accidentally used any combination of fn, ctrl,alt,apple and or,shift, the one next to shift, z, x, c and v – and somehow my canvas is white. If I hit play in the canvas or the timeline the film appears and plays. When i stop it, it goes white again. The widescreen feature is still there..
    WHAT have I done? I am on a deadline! I went backwards lots of steps and shut down and re did it, and nothing helped. it is across the board, in all my projects.
    Thanks in advance…

    Check to see if you’re only looking at the alpha channel. It’s under the third button in the canvas window.

    When I drag the slider across on the canvas, an X appears on the right hand side of the canvas screen..

    Check: Menu: View>Channels

    It should be set to RGB.
