Monitor settings are the same. I've tried recalibrating the monitor
but it's kind of silly, because all my system colors/photos (screen
saver, background, etc) look fine. It's only SOME photos on the
Internet, all the thumbnails in iPhoto, and everything I view in
Photoshop. These may not be the only areas affected, but they are the
only ones I use, or that I have tried out.
It's not a Photoshop problem (as the Sonnet tech has suggested),
UNLESS there is a change in my computer somehow with the upgrade and
OSX and their interaction, that is incompatible with Photoshop.
Wouldn't someone know about that?
It's not my monitor, because it shows some photos, like my desktop
photos and screen savers as great. And most of what I see on the
INternet looks great as well.
This is such a hard problem to describe to anyone. For instance, in
OS X.3, the little pane in the left top of every finder window that
lets you select the list view now has a background square behind it,
half pink-half blue, divided horizontally between the colors. Now how
weird is that? But that's what showed up after the upgrade. That has
nothing to do with photoshop, that's a system color. (see window-
colors-bad.jpg in the folder below).
There is something that all these color changes have in common, but
I'm not smart enough to tell someone "yes, it's whenever I see an xxx
type of image that this happens" so we can troubleshoot the problem.
My frustration is showing through....I've been dealing with this
almost a year. I can't use Photoshop anymore, so I can't update my
web site, can't scan family photos and can't retouch photos I take
with my camera. The colors are so off it's useless to try.

This may sound silly , but did any of your video settings change
resolutions and such?

I am seeing photos, some on the Internet, and all of them opened in
Photoshop, that have image previews as bad. Blown out is how I would
describe it. I got a new video card, removed all scsi devices and
cards (including the 8 GB that came with the system) and of course
upgraded firmware where indicated. Nothing has helped. I could send
screen shots but I think I'm not supposed to attach anything here.
Blown out is the best description I can come up with. Just all the
wrong colors and it looks like some are just two colors. Like a
negative looks, only in colors. I have been troubleshooting this with
Sonnet, but they have yet to come up with an answer.
Has anyone encountered this type of problem?
