today I went to work on some saved raw files from my Canon 7D. In bridge the thumbnail look ok, once opened in Camera Raw they have a marked magenta cast, the white balance is changed to custom and the magenta slide to +22. I have try to reset the settings to default but no change in the picture. Also change the setting to As Shot does not help. I cannot make meaningful adjustment. But once the picture is open in Photoshop it looks ok.

Please Help.

Then the most likely cause of the problem is a defective monitor profile.

Try setting it to sRGB (or Adobe RGB if you have a wide gamut monitor) as described here:

If that fixes the issue, you should calibrate your monitor with a hardware calibrator as soon as possible.

While in Camera Raw, press Ctrl+K (Cmd+K on a Mac) to bring up preferences, then uncheck Use graphics processor at the bottom. Does that fix the issue?
