Pictures are way darker in Photoshop than they should be.

[Alt-Ctrl]

Ok i'm a newbie with editing pictures, I installed photoshop 7 yesterday, and everything is fine. Exept that all pictures that i load are way darker than they should be. Theyre almost black.

Do any of you guys know whats wrong?

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

you can also increase the brightness of the picture in photoshop if it comes to that

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?

hmm, can I have missed that? I will try to reinstall it tomorrow. Mayne it will work

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

Darned, stil dosent work. Well, i'm going to borrow Photoshop 8 of my friend, and maybe it will work better then.

Thanks for the help so far
