Please Help First tings first. Are you working in CMYK, not RGB? In CMYK, the Auto Levels and Desaturate commands may produce an undesirable tint, because in CMYK, if oyu have the same values of all four channels, the result is not neutral gray. -- Photography, kink, polyamory, shareware, and more: all at http://www.xeromag.com/franklin.html

Coming late to this thread. No one has mentioned the most likely possibility, which is that you are using your monitor space at your working space. This happens, for example, when you disable color management in Photoshop's Color Settings dialog, or specify your monitor profile as your working space. It is better practice to use sRGB, or one of the other standard working spaces, with Adobe RGB the next most popular. To track this down further, start by looking at a sequence of known gray colors in Photoshop and see if it has a green tint. You can easily make one yourself with the gradient color, or use the gray step wedge provided here: http://curvemeister.com/downloads/TestStrip/digital_test_strip.htm -- Mike Russell www.curvemeister.com/forum/ |
