Photoshop does "color management." That means it changes the colors you see on your screen to compensate for your exact brand and model of monitor, your color working space, and your color profiles.

If you do not wish Photoshop to do this, turn off color management in the Color Settings dialog. For more information, read the chapter on Color Management in your manual.

Typically this is caused by a bad or non-existent monitor profile. Photoshop shows the image translated thru the ICC monitor profile while most applications do not. You can check this by turning off the monitor profile and verifying the colors now look like they do in other applications … View – Proof Setup – Monitor RGB turns off the profile and you can toggle it on/off with cntrl-y to see the differences (this is for a PC running CS).

… and how can I fix it?

The right way is to generate an accurate monitor profile (if this is the problem, which it typically is). The lazy way is to disable color management in Photoshop.
