Im having a major issue with colors in Photoshop CS3.
It occurred to me when I pasted a screenshot of a website into PS and noticed the color was quit different than what I originally saw in the actual website. Then I went back and reopened a design I had just finished, and compared it to the .jpg version viewed in Windows Picture Viewer, and the two are again different.
Photoshop seems to be slightly dulling down things kind of. In my opinon, most grays have a slight shade of blue (if I had to choose a hue). Yet in Photoshop, they appear yellowish. The design I created has many blues in it, but in Photoshop, they are more of a duller purple shade of blue.
I just installed PS a number of days ago and have not messed with too many settings. Just to be sure, I did the ctrl+alt+shift to reset the settings, and Im still having the issue.
Here is an image that showes it. Taking a screenshot and saving it wouldnt do much, as the actual documents are the correct colors its just different when viewed in photoshop. So instead I took a screenshot, pasted it in photoshop, and then took a screenshot of that. You can also compare the green of the Start button with your own to see thats brighter. And you cant see it in the image, but the blue of my XP theme shows a little more purple in PS.

What is going on here? Im set to RGB and everything I dont get it. And again, this is only when viewed in PS. Once I save the document, and view it in Windows Picture Viewer, or IE or what ever it shows up fine.
Thanks
