Apologies if this has been covered–I don’t frequent this NG very often.
I recently put together a new box and installed XP. In the past I was using Win2K, and still have PS (CS) on my second machine w/Win2K.
I notice that all my images tend to be displayed very dark and very saturated on the XP machine (in PS) as compared to that on the present and former computer running Win2K. All color management settings are the same on all machines, and I use Adobe RGB in the working space.
It is clear to see the difference when using other apps and web display of the graphics, even the Epson print preview that comes up when printing out of PS displays an image that is much lighter (higher gamma) and less saturated, and all these other display venues are pretty consistent. Only PS displays graphics (in whichever graphics format) noticeably, even radically, darker and more saturated. I’ve tried changing the color management settings to no effect.
Does anyone here have any suggestions as to further steps I might take to find out why this is happening?
TIA,
Toby
