Greetings all. :) I am trying to figger out why Photoshop 6 looks so crappy on my system ? The leftmost part of the pic here is a screenie right outta Photoshop when I created a lil square gradient. (For demonstration purposes of course ;) You can see on the right side of the pic, the same lil guy after saving to JPG. The saved version looks nice & smooth, like it should (besides the few JPG compression artifacts), but inside Photoshop I get these yucky 'color-bands' on everything, even interface elements like the navigator and the color bar. Any other apps used to open the file, shows the gradient perfectly. (ACD-See, PSP 6, IE 5, and Corel 9) Only Photoshop does this. I'm running a Geforce 2/MX at 1280x960x32bit on a P3-550 & 416Mb Ram. All my drivers are the latest for my OS (Win2K + SP2). I have now tried every damn thing I could think of, without much luck. :( Any help/ideas to fix this problem would be most appreciated. Ta ! Luthor :)

I have a GeForce 2 GTS on a P3-550 & 384mb Ram. I can't get my sample as yucky lol. I am curious though. In Edit - Color Settings, what do you have as your settings? Personally I have mine set at "Color Management Off".

Yup, "color management off" it is indeed. But I have been thru the whole nine yards there too, tried 'em all, and it still dont seem to fix the prob. :( Ta, Dreamer101 !

Might try your desktop screen settings to something like 16bit or 32 bit. ???
