Hello - I'm running photoshop CS3 in a macbook pro under windows XP, and I want to add color to something in my picture. I used "selective color" (Layer > adjustments > selective color) to add color to a whitish-looking robe that is worn by a character that I created in photoshop earlier, but even when I move the slider to 100 %, the color is still too washed out (see attachments).

I know from experience using PS CS3 in my old laptop (a HP Compaq Presario X6000, ran Win XP) that to get the depth of color I want in my image's robe, I shouldn't have to move the slider all the way to 100 %. Is there any way to fix this so I can get color like I got using my old laptop?

Thanks in advance.

PS in the bottom picture I had to reduce the Cyan (which I never had to do when working in this image in my old laptop) in an attempt to get the color depth I had in my old laptop.

P.S. I forgot to tell you that when starting up selective color in "layer" > "adjustments" > "selective color," I get a dialogue box (see image). I left the settings in this dialogue box the way they are seen in this image, and clicked "ok".
