All of a sudden (never a good phrease) color representation in PS CS2 are incorrect. Standard window grayscale colors turn up as browns in PS. See this example of a screen capture taken

http://207.234.221.182/staging/stash/screen.jpg

The center image was imported into PS via Prt Scrn screen capture. When copied into PS it becomes brown. Also, if you note the color swatch palette, the row of grayscale boxes on the seconf row right also look brown.

Thoughts, ideas, concerns?

Nothing new done to sstem. P4 PC with a Radeon X300 mid range card that, until now, was fine. I donwloaded the most current ATI drivers but no luck.

Card issues?

I realise this is probably absolutely nothing to do with your problem!!! but Microsoft have recently released a colour profiler which integrates with Windows XP and which allows the assignment of the same profile to hardware and software!! I have to admit its a little beyond me, but I thought I would pass it on in case anyone is interested!

Try re-running Adobe Gamma. This may fix the problem off the bat. If you have profiled your monitor using a third party device, do so again, and make sure that the third party software initializes the monitor at startup time, and not Adobe Gamma.

If the problem persists, make sure your working color space is correctly set up in your Photoshop color settings. In particular profile mismatches should be set to "Ask when opening", and your working space should be set to sRGB, or one of the other "standard" working spaces that are available when the Color Settings "Advanced" is unchecked..

Finally, if all of the above does not help solve the problem, use the info palette to check the rgb readings of the brown areas and post the values to this thread.
