File under how easy it is to make a mistake:
I just opened Photoshop and silly me I spilled some coffee, not a lot, enough to go get a paper towel. So call it fate. I have Photoshop open but no file open yet, so you see just the default gray background. As I'm dabbing up the spill, the screen color catches my attention. It seems the gray has just a bit of red tint to it. It shouldn't. I grab for my ViewSonic monitor manual for my VG175 LCD.
I'm thumbing through it to see if I messed something up and I see this:
Preset 1 Adds red to the screen image for warmer whites and richer red.
Preset 2 Adds blue to screen image for cooler white, good for offices
with fluorescent lights.
User adjustable; adjustments for red, green, blue.
Of course originally I had the 3rd option set. Somehow without noticing this week while adjusting something else on the monitor I somehow selected Preset 1.
Explains why for the last week everything looked a little too red on the computer monitor. And I was starting to wonder why I'm using the Photoshop tool color balance and always going toward Cyan. Now I know why. ROTFLMAO!
