I forgot to ask you what you have the "image interpolation" values
set to. They're available in a pop-up menu under Preferences>General.

Try a few different ones. I just went to look at the images and the
one showing in Photoshop looks like a 16 bit image -- but I see how
you would think it looked pink. The color range you're getting off
your monitor is much higher than the press can, and what it looks
like is happening is that Photoshop is showing the true color, and
Painter is showing what the printed piece is.

The range you see is what's really in the image, though. I took that
image you showed us on your site and copied into Photoshop, where it
came in as (naturally, for a screen image) an RGB file.

When I converted that image to pure grayscale. The bottom (painter)
image still looked flat, and (arguably) "gray-er" than the top image.

I think it's just showing you true color. If it's printing OK,
Claudia, try to "appreciate" it and just know that you see more
accurate, deeper, and visually accurate pixels in PS -- particularly
in the CS3 and future versions.

That's only IF it's printing OK. We look forward to hearing back from
you, and thanks for participating in the forums :-)

Mucho gusto, tambien :-)


Answering first the previous post and part of this one, no, is not the
monitor. If my monitor (by its controls) is bad color adjusted... why I
can take an screenshot like that??? Is not the monitor, is Photoshop. Is
the displayed image by software.

My graphics related hardware is a 7600GT and a Samtron (Samsung) 78DF.

When you say in this post that PS is showing the real color, the true
color, it's impossible, I mean, is PS the only one that reads a non-
existing tint on the image? Whatever program I use to see the image, it's
just greyscale, without tints. :-?

Again with the true color, you say that if the printing is OK, the thing
is that PS is showing all its scale of colors, but, if it's an image of
greyscale... how can have red tints?

4 hours after I posted here and after I searched again, I did what I don't
want to do, create and use another color profile for windows.

What I see is one thing: the color profile from [the manufacturer] and for
my monitor is or may be not standard color profile.

I mean that when is set the own monitor color profile, greyscale is
showed, ONLY by PS, reddish. The other programs show the image in
greyscale.

(NOTE: the color set for windows and PS, ever is the same on both as in PS
is configured to use the used for the monitor at that moment)

When I set, let's say sRGB, as the color profile for windows, PS shows the
greyscale image as a greyscale image. The other programs still show the
image the same way. Great.... or no. I found a difference.

I reprinted again to have all the proofs and I discovered that the print
and the display of the image on the screen by other programs have darker
greyscale, but, if I display the image with PS, the image is brighter and
not corresponding with other programs displays neither the printing. Why?
Why PS shows a brighter image than the print and other programs?

What do you think all about this?

Finally I followed this tutorial to calibrate the monitor (use a
translator if needed as is in spanish):

http://www.hugorodriguez.com/calibracion/calibracion_v2_01.htm

But, if indeed is a solution I don't feel it could because you finally are
using a color profile that is not really prepared for your monitor. It's
only created by your perception and is not ever the same.

(Sorry my english)


P.S.: When I say "other programs" I mean ACDSee, browsers, MS Paint,
another image editors, etc.

Another programs I use is TestScreens that use screens like this (not
this) to set color on screen:
