I just installed Photoshop 7 yesterday here at work on a Mac with OS 9.2.2 and in the color picker, white is displaying as a light pink. All the other colors are darker as well. I created a test image and viewed it on a PC, and it showed up as white, but its hard to work like this. Anyone know what the problem could be?
