Your adobe GAMmA settings could be different than the ones you see off the intenret.

You can use profiling software such as Adobe Gamma (Windows) or the Apple calibration utility (Mac OS) to both characterize and calibrate your monitor. When you characterize your monitor, you create a profile that describes how the monitor is currently reproducing color. When you calibrate your monitor, you bring it into compliance with a predefined standard, for example, the graphics arts standard white point color temperature of 5000 Kelvin.

You might have accidently pressed a number on the number keypad (this is a shortcut to change the opacity leve).

More likely than not your colors don't match because the default viewing space for Photoshop is usually set at CMYK and you want to view how your monitor settings are, then click on

View<Proof Setup<Monitor RGB for each photo you open up. This will enable you to view it how it will look in ALL your programs.

Good luck.

That's EXACTLY the problem I have; the 'proof setup' is set to "Working CMYK".

Choosing this EVERY time is a real pain, I have like 600 photos to edit and I want the default to be "Monitor RGB". How do I do this please?

Thanks

Try

edit>color settings>

under "working spaces" go to the RGB pulldown and select "monitor rgb"

I'm running out the door and haven't tested this, so it might not work...just an idea
