With your suggestions and those of Nicolas I was able to make the maps appear. I trashed the copies I had altered in Photoshop, loaded the original (black) images, set the min as 0 and the max as 1 and then stretched to min/max. That turned out to be easy. Thanks for the help!<br>

Max 1? Odd for a greyscale image. Or are they 1bit images?<br>
<br>
At least it's working.<br>

Hi Richard,<br>
<br>
That's definitely not common QGIS behavior. Do you have access to a second<br>
machine where you can reproduce the behavior? Can you share the problematic<br>
project including data? Which data sources do you use?<br>
<br>
Sorry, just questions and no answers at this point.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
Anita<br>
