Sorry for the lack of pertinent info… I scanned the pic at 400dpi as RGB, not imbedding a color profile, saved as a .jpg. I opened the jpg with Photoshop 6, it opens almost grayscale. I just want it to open with the colors in the original image.

thanks n8 for your help

One way to get behavior similar to this is to have Adobe RGB or some other wide gamut RGB space as your working space, and specify in your color setting that Photoshop ignore missing profiles. This causes Photoshop to assign that profile without asking.

Try assigning sRGB to your scanned image and see if the colors perk up. I also recommend that you to to Edit>Color Settings and change the "Missing Profiles" option to "Ask When Opening".

If this is indeed the case, I’ll even go a little further and say that handing someone else an Adobe RGB file can cause you problems down the line. For example, they might put your rgb image on the web, then complain it doesn’t look right. So if you have no particular reason to use Adobe RGB, you may want to switch over to another working space, such as sRGB.
