Hi,

I’ve just installed PS7 and am experiencing a problem where the background (which should be white) is a yellow’ish colour. Well, it’s not JUST the background it’s everything that is white.

When I edit a document the whites are yellow’ish yet when I save the document the white is white.

Any advice on what is going wrong would be appreciated.

Have you calibrated your monitor since the installation of PS7? Was it calibrated (Adobe Gamma), with your previous ver? Which was? Only a guess here, that the Adobe Gamma and any previous calibration, might have to be redone. I’d venture that Adobe Gamma has changed a bit, since the previous ver, but don’t have any facts to back up that assertion – anyone knowledgable out there? Many generations ago, I had PS3 (I think) and had calibrated as well as I could back then. When I installed an upgrade to PageMaker, its gamma cal program was newer, better, etc. and I had to do it all over again. In my case, I got an error message, suggesting that I do so, and I do not recall a colo(u)r cast, but that was also many, many years ago.

If this doesn’t help, you might want to check out new drivers for your vid- card, but if PS runs, it really doesn’t stress most cards, even old ones.

Lastly, maybe borrow a spyder, or other external calibration program/device, and see if you get different results. If so, then buy the kit.

Good luck,
Hunt

One more thing – have you changed the colour temperature on your monitor?
