				Hi everyone, I opened PS this morning and evrything I open that had white (no matter if it is a background, text or part of something else) it shows up as a pale yellow.
 
 
Browsers, MSword and everything else is showing white, it's just PS
 
 
Anyone got an idea of what's causing this?

				which version do you have? if it's CS try this.   Wayne
 
 
To re-create the Photoshop preferences file: 
 
 
1. Quit Photoshop. 
 
 
2. Rename the Adobe Photoshop CS2 Prefs.psp file (for example, to Adobe Photoshop CS2 Prefs.old) in the Documents and Settings\ [username] \Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop\9.0\Adobe Photoshop CS2 Settings folder. 
 
 
3. Start Photoshop. Photoshop creates a new preferences file. 
 
 
 
 
If the problem continues, the preferences file isn't the cause. To restore custom settings, delete the new preferences file and restore the original name of the previous preferences file. 
 
 
This fixes some problems.

				and if the preferences idea from swanseamale doesnt work, try re-calibrating your monitor using adobe gamma, in control panel

				I've had the same problem.  Try not loading adobe gamma by going to start>run>type msconfig>startup tab>untick adobe gamma.  I think that's what I did anyway.

				forgive me if thi is stupid but:
 
photoshop is showing white in the fields for colour numbers, so therefore the computer is capable of displaying white and monitor calibration is not the issue.  Then again, I have been known to make mistakes..
 
from time to time..

				From what I’ve read, a monitor profile has two aspects: one controls how the OS and non-color managed apps display colors. It also separately tells the color management system (used by color-managed programs, such as Photoshop) how to display colors. So this can allow PS to look bad, while everything else looks fine. (I think.. it is something along those lines. Getting a good grasp on Color management is a real headache....)
 
 
See: http://www.gballard.net/psd.html
 
He has many pages explaining the ins-and-outs of Color Management in laymen terms.
