Any ideas on this would be great. I have been getting pretty good at making scanned pictures look good in Photoshop CS (version 8.0). I save them as jpeg, level 10 and all was well. The saved pictures looked fine in other programs (including XP image viewer). But I was using my wife’s computer so we installed Photoshop on my PC so I wouldn’t have to use hers. Same Photoshop CS and we actually have the same Philips monitor. I can get the picture looking the way I want on my PC in Photoshop but when I save it as a JPEG, and view it in something else (including XP image viewer) the jpeg looks very different from the way it looks in Photoshop. Usually darker for one thing but there are many other color differences. I can’t really use the output!

This does not happen on my wife’s computer. What on earth could be causing this? I’m stuck using her machine until I can find out how to fix this. Thanks in advance.

If you have the same monitor on both computers why don’t you pass along the same monitor profile that you set up in Photoshop onto the other computer and see what happens?
Also,in the Photoshop preferences are you sRGB or Adobe RGB in either computer?Are they the same settings?
