Hi! I’d like to get a bit more info before we dive in—when you say you see a black screen after opening iColorama S, is this immediately after launching the app, or does it happen when you try to open or import an image inside the app? Also, does the app stay responsive, or does it freeze or crash after showing the black screen?

Understanding this will help me guide you better with the right steps. Meanwhile, a common cause seen with iColorama users is related to how the app handles images from the library or permissions to access photos.

Once you confirm, I can walk you through checking app permissions, resetting the app’s cache or preferences, and testing with different images. Does that sound good?

This black screen has a gray radial pallet-like image that shows thru any imported image I open

Thanks for the details! The gray radial pattern visible through your imported images in iColorama S is actually part of the app’s default background or “palette” that shows up behind your work. Normally, it shouldn't interfere or be prominently visible through images you open.

Here are some steps we can try to fix or work around this display:

1. Check Image Fill and Blending
When you open an image, ensure the image layer is fully opaque (not transparent) and fully covers the canvas. If the image has an alpha channel or transparency, the background will show through. Try opening different images or create a new solid-color image inside the app to see if the background pattern still appears.

2. Reset Display Settings
iColorama S sometimes keeps certain display settings or effects from prior sessions active. Try looking under the app’s "View" or "Layers" menus for any active filters, masks, or blend modes that might cause this overlay effect and disable them.

3. Restart the App and Device
Close iColorama S completely, then restart your Mac. This can clear temporary glitches involving graphics or memory. Then launch the app fresh and try opening an image again.

4. Check for App Updates
Since you’re on macOS 10.15, confirm if your version of iColorama is the latest. An update might fix bugs related to image loading or display issues.

5. Reinstall the App
If none of the above works, try deleting iColorama S and reinstalling it from the App Store. This clears corrupt files or preferences that might cause unusual behaviors like weird backgrounds.

If after these you still see the gray radial pattern showing through images, it could be related to a specific feature or a bug others have noticed before. There are group discussions on this, like on the iColorama Facebook community, where users mention black or dark screens when opening images, sometimes related to hardware or OS compatibility1.

Please let me know which step you'd like to try or if you prefer I guide you through them one at a time!
