Does anyone know how to fix this? 
I updated my Photoshop and when I opened it, it had this strange pink hue on the image and on the color swatch.
Please help I can't figure it out.

 

 

Correct answer Per Berntsen

This is caused by a defective monitor profile.

As troubleshooting, and as a (temporary) fix, go to Control Panel > Color management.

Add the sRGB profile, and set it as default. Use Adobe RGB if you have a wide gamut monitor.

Photoshop needs to be restarted to become aware of the new profile.

If this fixes the issue, you should ideally calibrate the monitor with a hardware calibrator, which will also create and install a custom monitor profile that accurately describes your monitor.

This did not fix mine.  I still have a really light pinkish background color.  I am trying to do sublimination with an Epson ecotank ET-2800 and I cannot get the photoshop to let me do it. I'm sure I don't have the right settings, but I have not found anything on the internet to tell me exactly how to fix this problem.
