| If its a fresh installtion of Adobe Photoshop nothing could be wrong. I suggest you increase the brightness on your monitor =) |

Yes, its a fresh install, I have tried to reinstall it, and nothing works.
Pictures look normall in all other programs I open them with, so its not the brightness of the screen.
Thanks for the tips with CTRL-U. But when I use that, the pictures get "foggy".
I read the car "stylish" tutorials, and i want to photoshope my car, but i can't do that with these collors. |

I don't know much about this, but isn't there a color profile or something when you open photoshop the first time?
Maybe could have something do to with that? |

I use the original configuration (just clicks OK when the window appears), but I though that you maybe had changed something. |

Ok, found it out now. Don't know if its in Photoshop 7, but i borrowed my neighbors cs, and I read through some of the help files.
It had to do with the Color management,
-Edit - Color Settings - and choose color management OFF, in the drop down menu.
Argh, all this frustration just because of that. Well, now it works, and I will post my product later. (if I ever finish it ) |

NO WAY!
NO way. CS has soo many more usless features than 7 does... IMO 7 is much better and easier to use |
