Check that Photoshop is using the correct monitor profile by scrolling to the
top of the RGB workingspace list in the color settings to see whats listed
after MonitorRGB -xxxx, but once you know its being used, reset to AdobeRGB.
Don't work in your monitor space.
Be sure you have the latest version of PhotoCAL from the colorvision.com
website, as improvements in calibrating Apple LCDs have been added recently.
