it's just weird. i'll go check with a befriended ppdc/photographer asap. thanks for the help!
maybe it is just one of this "ghost in the machine" things that disappear after a new install

btw, is there a decent ICC profile manager out there? something that scans repairs and installs color profiles just like fonts?

which color setting did you assign in bridge?
best stick with NA General Purpose 2 or Prepress 2.

and yellow in *all* apps even outside of adobe? osx preview? images on web.
any chance you have your adobe apps set to preview natural paper color? that makes your whites yellow. it's a proof colors setting.

your files have jaundice. i'm sorry to hear that.
- but seriously - could it be some programs are using a different monitor gamma?bulletfactory

could it be your monitor acting weirdly against the color profile. What kind of monitor you rockin?

why not use the ISO profiles from http://eci.org/doku.php?id=en:st… and synchronise them using Adobe Bridge?

your rgb values are 244 244 255? In the color picker try setting the LAB values to 100 0 0

is white vinegar and the yellow piss?
i think inkpink is onto something up there with http://www.qbn.com/topics/612816…

change your color settings in Bridge to a default Adobe package (like i suggested above) and try again.
i don't know about that rgb and cmyk profile you're using.

it seems like your CMYK profile thinks that 0/0/0/0 converts to 244 244 255 in RGB. If you are in an RGB document, set the RGB color values to 0 0 0, or set LAB values like i said above.
if that is the case I would try a different CMYK profile or try Colormatch RGB.

I've come to the conclusion that CS4 is doing something really rather wrong on the colour front. Especially on Macs.

i see you've also got "proof colors" checked which makes me think that yellow is the natural paper preview for that weird CMYK profile you're using.
