COLOR WAY OFF IN CS3 NEED HELP ASAP

[coolguy4sho]

I am currently using Photoshop CS3, but there is an annoying issue I am experiencing, it is that white appears yellow in photoshop. Not just white, though, any image viewed in photoshop would appear warmer or darker than it really is, which is a problem for me during editing because I wouldn't know which color to use or not use.

Click the following links below to see what I am talking about.

1. Untitled-1 new image in PS and a blank white space in Paint.

2. Beautiful girl in white bikini & grey background (how it should be) and same beautiful girl in yellowish bikini & warm background viewed in Photoshop CS3.

Not sure if it is the same in CS3 but - go to edit - color settings, and look at your working spaces and your color management policies.

Are your policies set to preserve the embedded profiles, or to convert?
What is your working RGB/CMYK space? (depending on which you your images are in)

This is the first place i would look to solve the problem.

Hey Guy,

Thanks for your help, I just figured out what happened. I played around with Settings drop down menu and the image changed to its original color, I have it set to Monitor Color now.

Hmmm... so that isn't it. I found this thread @ adobe:
http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc4061a where they are saying it is an monitor calibration problem. Not sure how useful that is, but it may be worth a shot.
