This is CS4 in Windows XP. All the blacks and greys end up very yellow/sepia looking, while in Photoshop. Any of the pictures outside Photoshop look fine.

It’s not just the pictures - the color picker, in the menus, everywhere, anything grey is sepia-toned.

I can get a screen grab if it’ll help.

Any suggestions?

Never mind. I found a solution.

If anybody else is having the same sort of problem, check your color settings and change RGB to Monitor RGB - (whatver your monitor is) and gray to Gray Gamma 2.2.
