I installed Photoshop on my home computer, and the colors are off. It isn't my monitor - the colors revert to what I think they should be when I view the images in a browser - but the PSD files, for some reason, make all white appear to be a dark yellow-tan. Adobe does many things well, but documentation is not one of them.

Any ideas as to what is going on and how I may fix it?

What "mode" are the pictures in?

(and I think PSD files are evil)

Stab it repeatedly.

I think there is a gamma correction that is supposed to adjust for your monitor so that it will give true color on every moniitor. Look in your Windows startup folder and try to run the Adobe gamma program that is there.

I'm not really sure, so I'll defer to the real computer gurus, but its worth a try since no one has responded to you yet. [Smile]
