Layers desaturating

Hi everyone. I'm trying to do something in Photoshop CC that I was easily able to do in Photoshop 6, and it just ain't working!! I've got two images open, one of a room, the other of a piece of artwork, and I'm dragging the artwork across to the room and super imposing it on the 'wall'. So far, so good. But for some reason, when I do this in Photoshop CC, the artwork image desaturates, it looks to me like its reverting to the original RAW image, unedited, instead of remaining the edited jpeg that I'm using.

Other than tweaking the photo of the artwork once its layered on the other image (which seems extra work for nothing), what can I do, and why is this happening, when it worked perfectly well in Photoshop 6?

Can you post some screen shots? Are you dragging it under a layer that saturates?

Do both document have the same profiles or are they in different color spaces have different color bit depth.  Are they both RGB images.  How are you Photoshop Color setting set.  How will these two image merge?

Most likely one of them is untagged (doesn't have an embedded profile).

Pasting an image into another, it will be converted into that image's color space automatically. So even if the profiles are different, it won't change appearance.

Never work with untagged material. There should always be an embedded color profile.
