photoshop vs. gimp coloring issues

[buttascatch]

I'm having some issues regarding the colouring of images that I open up in Photoshop CS3. I have a screenshot under the cut of the image as seen in Photoshop, and then the image as it's suppose to be seen, in Gimp.

i've noticed that no matter what when u open an image in PS it is darker then anywhere else you open/see it

I may be wrong and the same thing thats wrong with ur PS has always been wrong with mine though, so don't take my word for it =P

Then you need to change your PS color / display calibration.

I can't tell you how to do it myself right now, because of the four computers in this house I'm stuck using the ONE that doesn't run Photoshop, but Google around a bit for it and you should find some useful guides. I think we might even have a good one in the memories... I remember aquamarcia describing it to a user at great length at one point.

I checked the memories, but didn't think to check the tags under colour theory. Thanks! :)

Thank you so much! I didn't realize that it had to do with the display calibration. :/
