My whites are all pinkish? -photoshop cc 2019

On the main screen before I open anything, everything appears fine

But as soon as I open an image, my whites have a pinkish tint save for the text (I managed to kind of fix the image display). My color picker, navigator, and some options have a pink background. I've only downloaded Photoshop to this monitor recently.

Sounds like you need to fix your monitor profile.

How, exactly, did you "manage to kind of fix the image display"?

This is important, because there is a lot of bogus advice out there on the internet, one particularly common one is to set the monitor profile as working space. This is something you should never do. It doesn't fix anything, it just turns off the whole color management chain to the display.

If you don't own or have a calibrator that can make you a new monitor profile, use sRGB IEC61966-2.1 until you do. It's not entirely accurate, but a lot better than a broken one.

Relaunch Photoshop when done, it needs to load the new profile at startup.

I made the image I was working on look normal by selecting Monitor RGB in Proof Setup then clicked Proof Colors. I'm not sure which one kind of fixed my problem since I was trying different things that people were suggesting. By doing that, only the image I was working on was better, everything else still had a pink tint.

I did try resetting the settings as Photoshop was opening but that didn't work. Then I went to Color Settings and had it ask me about Profile Mismatches when opening so the next time I opened it I selected the option to not alter the coloring and my problem seems to be fixed.

That doesn't fix anything either. That too disables the whole display color management chain, just temporarily until you close the application.

You still have a broken monitor profile. Barbara's and my posts still apply.
