Hi! Recently I installed Photoshop 7 and when I open a Grayscale (8-bit) image the white colors are displayed as pale yellow. I have color management turned off, but when I turn it on it doesn’t help. When I print the image everything is ok (yellow becomes white). How can I turn this "feature" off???

Even if you turn color management off (which in my opinion is a bad idea), Photoshop will still use monitor compensation, so your monitor profile is probably way off. Re-run Adobe Gamma in the Control Panel (I presume you’re using Windows).

You ran Adobe gamma, and you chose the wrong setting for "monitor white point." Run Adobe Gamma again.
