I am fighting an on-display and at print color shift in Photoshop CS.
Images display much to red and violet when opened in Photoshop. This happens to all images and includes, JPGs, TIFFs, and others. I can open the same images in Paint Shop Pro, Corel Photo Paint, Illustrator CS, and other applications and they all appear normally colored. Open them in PS CS and they are very violet and red. It does not matter which monitor I drag Photoshop to, the images still have their cast. I have CS on another machine and the same file looks normal on that machine. I have gone through the preferences and color settings and they appear to be identical.
All monitors on both machines are calibrated using the Spyder Pro every 60 days.
This machine is an HP Laptop with a 128mb Nvidia Video Card. I am running XP SP2 and have fully patched the OS and the PS CS program. The machine has 2GB of ram and is running a scratch disk on an empty internal 80 GB drive.
I know this has to be some stupid setting that is wrong but I can’t find it. Can someone help? Or, if you need more info or me to perform a test, what can I provide to assist your assisting me?
The print issue is not as critical at the moment but may be related. In general the file printed from Photoshop is very dull and desaturated when compared to a print from PhotoPaint or PaintShopPro using the identical file, printer, and paper combination.
Thanks
