Photoshop turns my whites into creme?? Cannot see white colour at all.
When I open adobe photoshop, the interface itself has perfect colour, the way it should be.
However when I open an image or look at the colour pallete and look at any white colour, it is always a very deep creme like colour.
I am not sure why photoshop is doing this, but the colour management for everything else on my computer is working fine and all the whites show up as whites (even in imageready) except in photoshop.
I'm running Vista by the way so that could be it.

since you are using Vista, there might be more to the color management than I can help you with. I would read up on it at the above link.

Doesn't seem to help that much. I'm seeing the same thing with Windows Photo Gallery. Whenever I open a JPG or any picture for that matter, even the whole windows photo gallery background goes creme (its white for the first split second).
It seems to be only these two programs...

What other programs do you have that can open those images?
Here is what is most likely going on, although again, since this is VISTA, I don't know exactly where:
Color management is setup so that your images are adjusted to reflect what they would look like if they are printed using an ICC profile. Its not actually affecting your image, though. You could check Photoshop's color settings but I don't think its there. It might be in the advanced section of your Monitor Control panel.

hmm I tried creating a new ICC profile (using Adobe Gamma) but that didn't help at all. I actually liked the way it was before. How can I revert back to my previous state without adobe gamma?

ookay fixed it... it seems it was just in photoshops color settings.. I changed the profile to "Monitor Settings" and everything was fixed... wierd
That sounds about right. Sorry about not knowing exactly where to point you to, but I haven't played with Vista and as soon as I saw that, that threw me a little for a loop. The first place I should have told you to look was photoshop.

It's alright. Thanks for your help regardless.
