I started designing a website in a file on my laptop, and moved it to another system with a bigger display. When I open up the file on this computer however, my white background has a yellowish-tinge to it and my grays are rather pink. It's not the computer's settings...I can see pure white and gray just fine everywhere save that one file. Even the white backgrounds and rulers in Photoshop are fine...it's just something with the file. I tried creating a new file to see if the color settings were inherent to my original design, but that too turned yellow and pink.

Any ideas on how to fix this? :ph34r:

might want to try resetting your preferences. i think its options > reset > reset all might want to check around more though. hope u figure it out because it would drive me nuts

I have had siimilar too, restart the program and if it said there is a problem with your colour profiles click on "ignore profile"

I have been playing the flute for 6 years now and I love it, and I am playing the pipe organ as well. I also like to teach other people the in and outs of software such as the CS3 suite from Adobe.

I don't belive that would fix it however, since I have the same problem one one of my computers which has the exact same screen as the other. I open a file on tehre and all colours are just weird. I don't know a solution however...

Print the file or just make another with different blues and greens from both pc's on the same printer.

If the outcome is the same, its maybe just a "calibration problem". This means that a certain color, say 100/0/40/45 (CMYK) looks blue on a laptopscreen, but not on a crt screen (its green bdw).

I would trust the crt-screen more bdw.

Dunno why he even shifts pure white, but i know that when i tried to fix photos with my laptop (was the only thing i had in those days) the colors pronted were totally different then on screen. With the big screen i have now, it stays almost the same, without calibration.
