It seems that the image I am working on is shown darker than it is supposed to be. If I save the file as any type of image file, or as a ..psd and open it in a different program, the colors all appear much lighter. Even when I open the .psd in Paint Shop Pro or Fireworks, it has the same problem. Any advice?

I think that’s normal.

Convert the image to sRGB before you save it. Programs that do not use profiles (the majority of programs don’t) will open the image in a color space that is sRGB or close to sRGB, no matter what the profile says.
