Hi guys,
I’m having a very strange issue with colour management in Photoshop CS2 currently.
Photoshop seems to be calibrating all documents in a strange way on only *one* monitor. If I drag the file across to the other monitor the colour is completely different.
Of course it sounds like my monitors being off, however when dragging the file across monitors Photoshop slowly updates the colours for the next monitor. You can see it display the wrong colour at first, then correct it (hopefully that makes sense).
Another symptom of it is when I go to ‘save for web’. Here, the colours revert to what I believe are correct.
It’s worth noting that this has only started to happen since some Windows updates. One being an option update from Dell for my monitor – I can’t seem to find any information about it though!
My tester that I’ve been using is a plain white to black gradient. What I’m seeing is a lot of cyan in the middle of the gradient. I’ve saved off an example:

As you can see, all the greys are very green, but if you look at the gradient tool in the toolbar itself, the grey appears fine.
I’m unsure how I can adjust the colour profile from Photoshop for one monitor – am I missing something really obvious here?
Just to note: I’m on Win Xp SP2, Photoshop CS2, and I’ve cleared the preferences.
