i have photoshop 7 and 5.5 installed on a seperate hard disk and for some reason the color in PS7 is WAY over saturated and kind of red tinted. imageready 2 and PS 5.5 have no problems but i've tried everything to get 7 going nothing has worked. i've changed every setting in the system and photoshop color preferences. what the hell is up with this?
preview does it too, with certain .jpgs

what's your hardware setup? My bro has the same issue apparently, ona B&W with a ATI 128, using PSE 2.

i have a DP 500 that came with a rage 128 but i replaced it with a radeon 7000. the rage 128 is still installed in the AGP slot, though. maybe the rage 128 has something to do with it. i've definately thought about the possibility. i wouldn't know what to do to correct it. remove the card?

Yeah I would try to run Photoshop on the monitor hooked up to the Radeon PCI to see if that helps. Maybe unplug the 128 too, although running PS off the 7000 should be a good indication.

what i meant was i have the rage 128 still plugged in not being used, but i'm using the radeon 7000 instead.

Oh I see, well then I don't think the 128 is the culprit here. You may still want to try to take it off still but I don't think it should matter if you don't actually use it. The drivers used for the 7000 are different I think.

I had an oversaturated problem tooo when I was printing.And I have found out that CMYK pictures would print oversaturated.I don't know what the problem cause I didn't have a single problem with photoshop 5 or 6. So what I do is convert the picture to RGB and print and everything is OK.
I know this doesn'tapply to you but it's just a suggestion if it's a CMYK picture.
Oh now I remembered something else. I had an oversaturated problem with my pictures made from cinema 4d. Cinema doesn't apply a color profile to the pictures.So when photoshop opens it ask you what profile to use.And I chose AdobeRGB 1998. After applying the result was oversaturated colors.So what I do is apply first the AppleRGB color profile and then I use the convert to profile command and I apply the more versatile Adobe RGB 1998 color profile. Maybe this is your problem. Your image doesn't have a profile and you apply the adobe profile.
Hope this helps.
Also if the preview does it also you might want to check the colorsyng program.Maybe you have crazy settings there.

i don't think that's my problem because the color swatches in photoshop itself are messed up as well. i try using my color settings from 5.5 and it still does nothing.

my buddy has this same problem - as far as he described it to me. he sees this only when he's using his external monitor from his PowerBook 500mhz G3 - and only in OSX. When he runs Photoshop 7 while booted in OS 9 the color is ok (still connected to the external monitor). And the color is fine in both when he's not connected to the external monitor. He says the problem is only in Photoshop - everything else is fine, including DVD's and such. Anyone?

Please try and delete the photoshop 5 version.You just don't need it if you have 7. Maybe osX stores preferences in a different way than os9 and maybe it messes things uo.Delete both versions and reinstall only photoshop 7 and see what happens.
