When I load an image into Photoshop CS2, it gets much more yellow on the screen than it really is. So after correcting the colors in Photoshop, the image is too blue when viewed outside Photoshop. Before I used Paintshop, and I never had that problem. Does anyone know the reason and what tot do about it?
Thanks,

Hi.

You could be making a very large assumption about which set of diplayed colours are correct.

Have you had your Monitor Calibrated and Profiled ??

Is Colour Management turned on in Photoshop ??

And if so, is Photoshop using an incorrect Profile as its Monitor Profile ??

Do have a read in the "Help" files about Colour Management.

Your display profile is screwed up. Run Adobe Gamma again, this time choosing the correct monitor white point.

There are many different reasons, but it may have to depend on what reason each operator/user really want. Or each of us have to ask and answer ourselves, and just few questions for you to answer yourself.

– Do you trust Paintshop or Photoshop?

– If the displaying isn’t united as supposed to. Do you think it’s about time to learn to calibrate your display (monitor or LCD)?

– Do you retouch for displaying or printing?

– Does the photo look Yellow on paper?

– No problem with Paintshop doesn’t really mean anything, or if Photoshop matches your monitor then it means you had problem with PS for many years without knowing you had the problem.

In general, you want the *display* to match the "printing", and you may need to know that many photolabs may not give the *exact* color, and may be different with your inkjet etc.. And if you retouch for printing then you may need to *calibrate* your monitor once every few weeks (if not at least weekly if you do lot of printing).

And if you can be able to ask yourself similar questions like above then you should be able to answer most if not all questions yourself. I know! quite often I give some type of twisted word to confuse reader, but that’s a good way to exercise the lazy brains of ours <bg>

The previous advice on a color monitor is the best, but I’m reminded of an argument over color that I had with my younger son–a professional photojournalist–about the color of some of his photographs. It turned out that the problem was my early cataracts.
