Gray scale is not gray close to black and colours have strange bars

Hello to all.

After a system reset and application reinstall I am experiencing a strange effect.

If I open a gray scale picture it is shown prperly, but in the color tab I have a gray scale that is not gray! Close to blak other colours are present.

The following image is a screenshot of what I mean. The grayscale image on the left is correct while the gray scale bar on the right is wrong. THe RGB bars represents the values obtained by clicking on the left zone of the scale.

BYW a similar effect is present in case of colour scale too.

Is there any settings that I have to do or any other suggestion to solve?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards

Marco

Without any info about your system nobody can tell you much. Such stuff typically relates to things like wrong monitor profiles or generally wrong configuration of your display settings.

Thank you for you answer Mylenium. I am using a Laptop with Windows 10 Home edition and the latest Photoshop releases.

I have tested my system without any color profiling, with predefined ones and with to one obtained by my profiling devices (Spyder 5+ DisplaCal software). Even if with different results the problem is always present.

As long as the image itself looks correct, I'd suspect a video driver glitch in the Color panel.

Update the driver, or disable GPU in preferences until an update fixes it.
