When I view a photo in Acdsee it looks fine.. open it in Photoshop and it looks too red so I tweak it and then when I go over to save for web It looks like to much red has been removed. This is even at high quality in Image Ready. I calibrated my monitor and the color settings in Photoshop are set to North America… J

Generally this is a problem with the display profile of your monitor. Try running Adobe Gamma once more.

normally, when i am trying to save a file in photoshop that is going to be viewed thru a Windows viewer utility, such as AC/DC, I make sure my color settings RGB input is set to Monitor sRGB. This is hopefully anyway, identical to the video card setting that AC/DC uses. I get dead on results from that.

Experiment with your Photoshop color settings. Best thing to do is open up a jpg in AcDC, have it in a window, then open up the same jpg in Photoshop. Go to color settings in photoshop and try different RGB settings until you find one that matches closely the appearance of the jpg in ACDC. Now save that photoshop color setting under an obvious name, ACDC MATCH or something. You dont want to use this color setting for anything but onscreen work for your own machine.

Photoshop reads your monitor profile, and modifies the colors it displays accordingly.

This is why Photoshop’s colors display differently from other applications. —

There is a bug in Photoshop, I know because I have it, where the monitor profile can be corrupted to produce this red tinge. It carries over into the printer preview and print but is not apparent in the soft preview. Recalibrating the monitor does not get rid of it.

How can a corruption in a monitor profile carry over into a print? You do not use your monitor profile when you print something.

Recalibrating the monitor does not get rid of it.

That doesn’t surprise me. What happens when you DELETE the monitor profile before recalibrating?
