It gave me no warning and I didn't even notice until I realized a lot of my little settings were changed. I have no idea why my photoshop reset itself. When I select the green part, it selects the black as well (and vise versa).

To give you an example of how bad it is, it can't even tell the difference between this green and black: This included colors I know previously worked because I used them on past pages of the comic with no issue. That's when I noticed that it suddenly had a hard time differentiating colors when I used the magic wand to select them. Randomly one day, maybe last week, my phoshop (I've been using cs5) decided to reset itself I guess? My custom hot keys were still there but all my little settings, like for example, having the fill tool set to foreground color rather than content-aware (or whatever the default factory setting was), were all set back to the factory default. To make things really simple, for the characters that have a lot of different shades of gray on them or other dark colors, I made sure when I made the color pallet that the colors were different enough for the wand tool to recognize them as different colors (so when I select the character's dark gray pants, it doesn't also select his black belt). I have specific color pallets that I use on the characters every page. I have a web-comic that I do just as a personal project for fun. Maybe this isn't the right question to be asking but hopefully once I explain the situation what I'm trying to fix will make more sense (I also apologize if this is being posted incorrectly, this is my first time):
