quick question needs quick answer

[cdhollingsworth]

Hi,

I just registered and would like to spend hours and hours here reading and learning, but am a little cramped for time and don't know where to post to get the best response to this question. My system was upgraded to CS4 last week, now the white background in Photoshop has a yellow tinge. I have dual monitors and it looks the same on no matter which monitor I drag the app or individual images to.

Can someone offer a quick, valid response? (THEN as soon as I have time, I promise to read the FAQs and get started correctly!)

TIA

Cindy Hollingsworth

hi, can you let us know what the colour settings are? This may be the problem. Go to EDIT drop down menu and near the bottom is the color settings option, bring this up and a box will appear.
Mine is set to the following, is yours different?:

Settings - Custom

Advance mode (unchecked)
Working Spaces:
RGB - sRGBIEC61966-2.1
CMYK - U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
Gray - Grey Gamma 2.2
Spot - Dot Gain 20%

Colour management Policies:
RGB - Off
CMYK - Off
Gray - Off
Profile Mismatches (checked)
