Recently I’ve had encountered a strange problem when opening files in photoshop. Once opened in the program the images appear alot brighter on screen than it originally is, but once saved and opened in a normal picture viewer or web browser the original colors are restored.

This makes it impossible to work with as since the result in the photoshopscreen varies from what the picture looks like elsewhere makes it impossible to tell what the end result will look like, thus making the work inaccurate and..annoying.

Heres a screenshot illustrating my problem.

the back picture is the photoshop version, while the other one is opened in a regular pictureviewer. the colours are clearly off..
Do anyone have any suggestions as to what might be wrong?

That’s because Photoshop is colour managed and the other softwares are not.

You will need to read up on colour management to resolve this.
