I just reinstalled Photoshop 8 on my new PC and when I import an image, it appears very oversaturated. Reducing saturation to around -35 to -45 brings the image back to normal. I am using my previous Dell monitor but have an upgraded graphics card in the new PC. I’ve monkeyed around with colour settings but to no avail. Does anybody have any suggestions to resolve my problem?

First run Adobe Gamma from the Control Panel to update your monitor profile on the new computer. That should fix it.

If not report back.

John, just ran gama from Control panel. It’s certainly desaturated my images, but now my monitor seems very dark although brightnes is up at 100%. One thing I noticed with the wizard in gama is that it instructs you to increase contrast up to 100% but gives no further instruction to reduce it again!? I think I’m messing around with settings I don’t really know too much about.

Thing is, my initial query is answered as images in Photoshop are now not over saturated, I’m not sure about the new darker look and don’t understand that contrast should be set at 100%?
