Hi,

My Photoshop colours have been messed up for a while now. They're kind of... red. When I save the picture as it comes out fine, but when viewing in PS it's horrible.

Right colours:

I just set them to what you have them on and it's still got a horrible redness

I have also set them to the same as my bros (his colour settings are untouched... although mine are as well) and it still keeps the horrible red

remove your monitor driver from display properties (as in uninstall it and use plug&play monitor driver)

-these are windows settings not photoshop

had the same problem a few months ago

Oh right, okay, I thought it was something in photoshop.

My screen is listed in the settings & I haven't installed any drivers, I'll try what you said anyway
