I am having a somewhat weird problem…

When opening a jpg or raw file in Photoshop Elements 4.0 or Nikon Capture
4.4, I can see the thumbnails showing portraits with skin colour =
magenta…
When in EDIT mode of both Elements and Nikon Capture, I am seeing the same problem.

When I view the images in Window Explorer (WIN XP), both the thumbnails and filmstrip view versions show normal skin tone…

When I view the images in Photoshop Album Starter 3.0, the skin tone once again is NORMAL…

After seeing the problem, I have removed and reloaded my Photoshop Elements
4.0. But the problem remains.

I have tried recalibrating my monitor (LACIE electron blue 19inch) with sypder 2 software. The problem remains.

When I view web pages, and other windows-based applications, all the colours on screen seem to be NORMAL….

The only problem is when viewing in Nikon Capture and Photoshop Elements!!

What’s wrong??

Any advice please….

Nikon Capture and Photoshop Elements=color managed apps
the others are not
you can disable or change the color preferences in Element not sure about using change to profile I use regular PS
sounds like you are looking at cmyk files in an srgb space?

Katwoman has pounced on the answer again. I would add that you may be able to fix this by running Adobe Gamma to create a new screen profile. Or if you are using an LCD screen, set the monitor up with the correct profile, and remove Adobe Gamma Loader from your Startup folder.
