Color Issue – Opened in CS3…looks fine; I then opened in CS4 and what was grey in CS3 is now brownish in CS4.

Any ideas about what this is or how to fix?

I am assuming that your Edit>Color Settings in both versions are set the same.

In CS4, this can be related to the new OpenGL functionality. Try turning off OpenGL drawing in Edit>Preferences>Performance and see if that helps. If it is already off, try turning it on. 🙂

If by doing this, you confirm that it appears OpenGL-related, then you might try playing with the Advanced Settings of OpenGL Drawing, particularly the one that says "Color Matching".

If it appears OpenGL-related but you can’t find a way to fix the problem AND retain the OpenGL features, check to see if there is an updated version of your video card driver available. If so, download, install, and try it to see if that helps.

Sorry, actually, there was a thread up a ways and someone was having the exact same issue. It was my color profile. I just deleted the default and used Adobe 1998…

With that said, I am CERTAIN that in not too much longer, I will run into this again and it will be nice to have this seed (solution) planted in my brain..

Thanks
