1. Re: CS3 Colors Suddenly Muted Compared to CS4
conroy Aug 20, 2012 2:39 PM (in response to Brad_Trent)Look in the View menu. Maybe you have Proof Colors enabled and its using a profile which shifts red towards orange.

conroy Aug 20, 2012 2:48 PM (in response to Brad_Trent)Look in Edit > Color Settings. Is "desaturate monitor colors" enabled? You may have to click a "more options" button or similar to reveal advanced controls.

4. Re: CS3 Colors Suddenly Muted Compared to CS4
Brad_Trent Aug 20, 2012 2:58 PM (in response to conroy)Nope...not that either. Like I said, all of the color setting and profile options between CS3 and CS4 are exactly the same. This isn't a saturation issue...the colors are markedly different, but it's really noticeable in the red channel.

Brad_Trent Aug 20, 2012 3:00 PM (in response to Brad_Trent)...but it does have something to do with the monitor prefs/settings since the Apple monitor next to it look 100% balls-on!

wizzerd144 Aug 20, 2012 6:55 PM (in response to Brad_Trent)If that's the case, it's almost definitely the monitor. The monitor may have changed color temperatures or modes. Try adjusting it to something other than 9300K which sort of looks like that "we're dead" scene from that Bill and Ted #2 movie lol. Also, "presentation" mode is what usually looks the most accurate on monitors that have "scenes" or "modes."

Brad_Trent Aug 20, 2012 7:33 PM (in response to wizzerd144)It's not the monitor...as I said, the same file opened in CS4 looks fine. It's got to be some setting in CS3 that has somehow been changed since the last time I used the program. Since the color settings seem to be where they always have been and everything else is set up exactly as CS4, I'm at a loss to understand what it could be.

wizzerd144 Aug 20, 2012 7:45 PM (in response to Brad_Trent)Oh, I missed that. Is it set to the color scheme of CMYK instead of RGB by default? CS3 has an issue where that setting gets a bit sticky between projects.

9. Re: CS3 Colors Suddenly Muted Compared to CS4
Brad_Trent Aug 20, 2012 8:02 PM (in response to wizzerd144)Nope...first thing I checked was if it was set to CYMK because it reall has that dead CYMK look.....but it's RGB.

Brad_Trent Aug 21, 2012 4:30 AM (in response to Brad_Trent)Just a quick update...after waiting over half an hour on hold, of course I was told by Adobe that they would not help me with the problem since they could give a damn about supporting ANYTHING but CS6.....and the worst thing was I just KNEW the guy on the end of the phone had an answer to the problem....
