hey what up? i never used to have this until i installed photoshop cs, then it continued in cs2.

i would want to edit a pic, when i would open it, it would look different in the program- darker and with a yellowish type tint. if i work on it (while it is discolored), save it, then open the photo with anything but phtoshpo, the photo would retain its original colors.

attached is a picture of me and a rapper (red cafe). i took a screenshot of the same photo in ps cs2, then cropped the screenshot and put it onto the original. OH, also when i took a screen shot and pasted, EVERYTHING had that tint - even my workspace, it should be gray but its this gray-yellow color. any one have any idea whats going on?

First, try running Adobe Gamma. Make sure your color settings are the same among your editing programs. And realize that most image viewers are not Color-Managed apps like Photoshop.

Yeah. Good question. I guess I’m so used to working among Adobe programs that advice might not apply.
Every Adobe image editing product has a Color Management setting. Things like converting and honoring color tags. If you are comparing the Photoshop colors to some low-end viewing program… don’t. Run Adobe Gamma (like every month) to calibrate your monitor and create a monitor profile for photoshop to use when displaying images. Trust that. Photoshop is a pro program, and if it is set right.. that is the color you should rely on.
But… understanding and using CM takes some work. Not an easy topic.
