trash the monitor profile and rerun adobe gamma from the control panel.
Thanks Dave, can you please describe how I would trash the monitor profile? And how do I Rerun the adobe gamma? A setting in photoshop?
if you still have cs2 installed adobe gamma is in there. run that and follow the instructions in the wizard.
if the colors are bad inside photoshop you have a bad monitor profile. you need to fix it. photoshop is color managed. most applications, including browsers, are not. save for web is also NOT color managed.
I did adobe gamma
No noticeable difference
Is it possible to botch that up?
On my monitor, the PSD file looks neutral. Maybe just a tad cool. On the JPG image there is a very strong aqua hue. I would say the JPG image looks wrong.
Hi I just saw your problem and the answers didn’t help. However, I just rolled back the monitor drivers in device manager in the control
panel. It seems to have worked all my greyscale pics are back to their grey not pink or sepia. I thought it may work for you if you as yet have not fixed it.
hi kris, the answer is in post #1. you should reprofile after updating the drivers.
Andrew, have you perhaps Assigned a strange colour profile to your image?
Hello, I tried all the profiles in PS itself but the greyscale images were pinkish also RGB images when b&w were pinkish. Rolling back the monitor driver seemed to solve the glitch. I had updated my ACER monitor via the web and the problem seemed to happen after that. So it could have been a colour profile mismatch when updated. Still not sure what caused the problem but it worked.
Didn’t Photoshop 7 have a colour gamer set up software installed giving you the option to use for the colour profile?
Anyway it worked, and the problem sounded similar to the original query.
Sorry Dave Milbut you did say that in your first post. Duh me!
that’s ok kris. it’s a long running joke here when someone answers in the 1st post then a long thread emerges to elaborate on the original answer.
"nobody reads the 1st post!" 🙂

adobe gamma which is in the control panel if you still have cs2 installed on your system. adobe removed it from cs3 because it’s not very good with lcds. if you have a crt, it’s often enough, but if yiou have an lcd monitor you should get a hardware calibration system if color consistency is important to you.
there’s one called greytag macbeth and another called spyder (i think those are the names) that people around here recommend a lot and as i understand have models that start under a hundred bux.
