My photos starting appearing washed out and bright on the viewing/work panel, but appear normal brightness and saturation in the thumbnail of the layers panel. The image is normal if I open it in another program.

Same problem here. It has been like this since the last PS Beta’s update. It also looks good with Camera Raw, but for some reason, not on the main work panel. The photos look really washed out, overexposed. Any fix yet?

is this a photoshop question?

Yes. It’s a Photoshop question.

I’ve discovered my images still look normal in CMYK and Lab color modes, but if I view the image in RGB it’s bright and washed out. I can’t imagine what’s going on.
