Hello all, I am new here.

I am a Fireworks user who fears the discontinuation now that adobe has acquired macromedia so I'm finally gunna learn photoshop.

I downloaded the try-out version of PS CS2 and loaded up a photo but it displays incredibly dark, and no amount of messing with edit->color is fixing it.

If I view the image in fireworks, or just in windows xp default image display, the colors are fine. When I load the image in PS, it is extremely dark.

It is not my monitor. I downloaded PS and put it on my other computer and the colors displayed fine - not dark at all.

Here is my hardware if it helps:

AMD athlon X2 3800+
2x1GB Sticks of ram (2G
Asus A8N-SLI nForce4 Mobo
120GB Maxtor Drive
ATI X800 256MB graphics card.
19" Samsung 191T LCD

No matter what I do it looks dark. This is extremely strange. It is not my monitor - as images look fine outside PS, ane they continue to look dark even if I switch the monitor to a CRT.

I've done several uninstalls of PS and reinstalled. Same issue.

If anyone has ANY ideas, please post. HELP!

Have you tried altering the colour managment in adobe? maybe even turning it off all together? Just a thought. Wayne
