I need PSE help!

[Cherylndesigns]

I'm using PSE 2023. I had this problem a while ago, but it's back. For some odd reason, I'm now getting "Grayscale" instead of "RGB Color". When I "pull" anything from a kit, or a photograph, it's grayscale. It's making me crazy and I'm not sure how to fix it. I've gone into preferences, but it just isn't resetting.

Anybody else, who uses PSE, having this problem????? Here are screenshots. I'm using this color photo and when I "pull" it up onto the canvas, it turns to grayscale.

Cheryl, I have the same version. Let me look around in the settings and see if I can find anything out for you.

I use photoshop, but I know under the dropdown menu for images there is a color setting where you can go in and pick grayscale, 8 bit color etc, but Vicki will be able to give you the help you need.

Cheryl, when you go to Edit>Color Settings, is this what is clicked on yours? see print screen below

Cheryl,
When you open a photo/etc and go to Image>Mode, is RGB color checked? If not, check it. Then bring in another photo to see if it stays checked.
