PSCS4 - Colour profile problems

GravyMonster · 31 Mar 2009 at 11:52

Hi all,

I've just installed CS4 on this machine, but the colours on it are completely out.

If i take a screen shot of a webpage and paste it into PS, the colours are far more yellow, and more washed out. Does anyone know what the cause of this could be? I've tried all the colour profile options in PS and nothing comes close to how the window actually looks on my monitor.

Can you show us? Post both situations screenshots?

Where/how are you changing the colour profiles?

In CS4 do you have the profile mismatches set to ask to convert or just to convert to working profile?

I'm changing the colour profiles by going to Edit > Colour Settings. I'm not really sure what the best settings are, so here's a screenie.

Here's the problem - this is a stock image I've used before on top, and then re-saved just now below. You can see the difference between the two.

Fixed!

The problem was that my monitor was using some weird Dell colour profile. I've changed it to sRGB and all is now well in my world.
