I just got CS5 and put it on a new Windows 7 computer. When I open any photo in PS, it has a pinkish hue. The hue is not there when I open with windows picture viewer and it does not print with the pinkish hue. Is there a setting I need to change? It appears in CMYK and RGB mode.

Thanks,

you need to check your colour matching with the monitor, so darn annoying. and can get complicated if you don’t have the gear. most people don’t but most people don’t need to have it. Check the colour profile of the monitor and the colour profile of the documents.

is it just cs5? if your other whites on the same pink say in internet explorer then its definately the colour profile for the monitor that need to have the correct one installed.

Thank you. It does seem to happen with other programs. I’ll have to look into the color profile issue.

You can download "Adobe Gamma" which will set a profile for your monitor if you can’t find a ‘standard’ match in the selection list.

Firefox is a BROWSER

Adobe Gamma is a monitor colour ‘calibration’.

I am a dreaded "lurker" who never posts…but, I had a very similar problem with
Win 7 and it was my display driver. I try to stay up with the latest drivers and one driver (after an update)
caused this problem….so if there isn’t an update for your driver…try doing to rollback
to a previous driver.
Might not be it…but I thought I would try to help.
Good luck I know it’s frustrating as hell.
