Yesterday I opened a image in PS and it shows as if was in grey scale. I
cheked every thing I could think about and could'n find what was wrong.
I see the thumbnail whith Bridge as a colored image but as soon as it
opens is seems as grey scale one.
The image is refered as RGB 8 on the window bar and the filters and Adjust
commands are all as usual for RGB images (not greyed).
The PC is from a school, sone changed a preference or some thing else that
I am not able to find. What can it be?

I love this kind of puzzle. I'm guessing it's the monitor profile settings
in the system control panel. Quite Photoshop, run Adobe Gamma and specify a
gamma of 2.4 and any RGB color primaries. Then start Photoshop again and see
if your color comes back. If that doesn't work, try brandy.
