CS5 Tinting my Layouts Brown?

[Jengerbread88]

Okay, I've been noticing this issue for awhile, but it's never really been a big deal- I mostly notice it on templates and stuff. But today, I went to use Paper! Snow! A Ghost! and it was REALLY obvious.

CS5 is tinting everything I open slightly brown. When I click "open" all the previews look the correct color, and in every other program I open them in (PSP, etc) they all show up the right colour (as in, P!S!AG! shows up white).

This is what it looks like:



See the difference?

My monitor is calibrated. I don't think it's that. I just don't know what the deal is! Any ideas on how to fix?

I'm not sure but when I first got CS5 I had very wonky looking images, no matter what type I opened. I figured out that CS5 has some new 3D features that are automaticly switched on in preferences (it's called Enable Open GLDrawing, under Preferences/performance) My images looked fine when I disabled that. After a bit of research I discovered I needed to upgrade the drivers of my video card, and then I could use CS5 with that 3d mode turned on. Your problem is not the same, but maybe you can try switching off that OpenGLDrawing mode and see if your problem still exists. If it doesn't, then you might need to update your video card too.

Also what color mode is PS in? sRGB? Adobe 1998? Something completely different?

What did you use to calibrate the monitor?

Also if your computer goes to sleep it can lose the calibration profile loaded (doesn't load and goes to default). Mine was doing this and it drove me nuts. Now I have a little work around program that I use to make sure my calibration profile is loaded). This is a Windows XP and Windows 7 thing.

I didn't realize that! My friend calibrated it for me. I wasn't there and don't remember what he used. He's the computer guru, not me

Before I started messing with it, it was in "North America General Purpose" or something. I messed with it until it actually looked like it did when I print (using several different kits). I think I may have it "right" on a custom setting, but I don't know if that was the right thing to do or not...
