I use acdsee to view and organize my photos... I use cs2 to do my editing... I just noticed that the photos look different in acdsee than they do in cs2....(being brighter and more saturated in acdsee) and they upload the same as they look in acdsee.... is there any way to fix this???

Different color backgrounds may make a difference.

you might have to change your proofing mode in CS2.

Not quite sure, but are you possible using full color management and Adobe RGB instead of sRGB?

I made them both the same background color, but still see the noticable difference....

In cs2 color settings, it says I am using:
North america general purpose 2
sRGB IEC61966-2.1

ACDSee has an option to set the gamma images are displayed at -- make sure that is set the same (2.2 for sRGB and AdobeRGB).

When I set the gamma correction for 2.2 it everything was extremely washed out...

ACDSee sux? Dunno, I'm going to assume you have your monitor calibrated correctly... ??

Are you looking at RAW images? I know that Pentax software looks a bit different then RAW Essentials.

LOL!! But what I see on acdsee is what uploads to the net...
The monitor is calibrated pretty close... but would that explain the differences in 2 programs seen on the same monitor?

In PhotoShop click: View | Proof Setup | Monitor RGB

Does it change? Does it now match what you see in ACDSee? (if so, what was it set to before you changed it?)
