I have been using photoshop elements 6 for a little over a year with no problems. Today, I was importing RAW files with the photo downloader and the photos were showing strange colors. Now every photo that I open up in photoshop or look at in the organizer shows these strange colors. Everything is overly bright and fluorescent looking.

Needless to say, the program is now worthless for any editing purposes. Any suggestions on what this may be and how I could fix it? If I save a file, it shows up as normal when I open it up with the windows picture viewer. Photoshop is the only place that shows the problem.

Did you open photos that you had previously opend in Elements before you had the problem?
IF so the program might be corrupted. Try to uninstall it then reinstall from the CD.
IF it only happens with new photos you import, could the problem be your CF card?

I was suspecting some kind of corruption. I uninstalled/installed the program and the same problem happened. It also shows on all the photos and even the filter affects are appearing in this off color. I'm really at a loss and will probably call adobe today. Thanks for the help!

You mean the dialog boxes? As in: They should be white and are yellowish for instance?

If so: You have a corrupt monitor profile.
