When I open a grayscale or black and white image in Photoshop7, the image appears a sort of wine color, instead of shades of gray. With other image viewers, the picture looks normal.I tried changing the color settings, and turning off color management, but nothing works.

Calibrate your monitor.

Its not about the monitor, the desktop and the color picker show correct grayscale. Only greys IN the image ares colored. I’ve got the same problem, but only in Photoshop 7. 5 is correct.

Eddy:

It is the monitor. PS is applying colour management to your image [only].

You tell that is a problem between the color management and the monitor? So what can we do?

In the immortal words of Lawrence Hudetz, "Calibrate your monitor".

If I change the calibration of my monitor, I will obtain a good gray image but a blue of all the rest of the display. Not the good solution…

Run Adobe Gamma – you will not screw up the general use of your monitor. This is what "Calibrate your monitor" means.

for the words "calibrate your monitor". But if the greys are good in Photoshop 5 and colored in 7, I don’t think that the gamma calibration will help.

Edie,

Regardless of your instincts, calibrate your monitor……or live with the way it is now.
