PSD file imported into After Effects displays incorrectly.

Question

I have a psd file with multiple layers and a group/layer mask with a color fill/levels filling in mostly the foreground and some of the background. When I import this into after effects, the brightness and/or contrast of the background is a lot darker but the foreground is the same color. I have been importing it as a photoshop sequence and a composition. How can I solve this?

As @Byron Cortez already wrote, comparative screenshots of AE vs. PS and the layer palettes and timeline would be required to even come close to unriddling this. On a hunch I'd simply say you are using a PS-specific feature that isn't supported in AE and PS doesn't correctly store a rasterized version of it in the PSD file. Anything from complex layer styles to smart filters, most likely. You may need to re-organize your layers then by duplicating and merging the relevant items. Eitehr way, impossible to say without specific info.
