Hey all. I've been running an OLD version of Photoshop CS on my Windows XP machine for a long time.

However, even after researching that CS will work on 64 bit Home Premium Vista, I upgraded (with a new computer and 19 inch monitor to boot) and have major problems.

All my colors are off, whites look yellow. I did some research, and trashed the "Adobe Gamma Loader" as I read online, and it's sort of halfway fixed now - I can select the Monitors color profile and use it even though Photoshop told me it was invalid. Normally this fixes it, and most photos and things can open in RGB mode just fine. However, I am still seeing the off-color in the samples and previews and when I open any image that used CMYK even after conversion.

Perhaps there is a way to fix this? I seem to think it might be the MONITOR more than the Vista, but I have no reason to think so. After installing the monitor originally, I had an issue where it wouldn't go into 1440x900 natively anymore, and had to create a custom profile. but now even that is fixed.

Anything else I can do?

Hi Ryan,

The cause may solely be due to your monitor as it may have a different color temperature compared to your older monitor and has not been calibrated correctly. Nothing is particularly wrong, it is just that the monitor displays differently. If you are serious about graphics and photography, I would recommend buying a calibration kit which can alter your monitor to display and reproduce the most realistic colors. They can be worth a pretty penny sometimes, but the difference with and without, is there. Spyder3 is a great choice.
