Screen Colour Issues in Photoshop

I've just started with digital imaging having purchased a Fuji S7000 and am having a few problems with photoshop. When I download images to the computer (in both RAW & JPG format) they appear ok in the Windows viewer.

The problems occur when I open up the images in photoshop as they invariably open up very dark, especially the RAW files. I have tried to optimise the screen but it doesn't seem to have had any effect.

Can anyone opoint me in the right direction for assistance please.


(My monitor is a Samsung 151BM TFT)

 

make sure that the photoshop colour profile is correct

 

Sorted thanks - I didn't realise there were different profiles available within the programme. I had tried calibrating the monitor without success when installing the prog.

Anyway it's now sorted with one of the supplied profiles

 

good stuff
