I am working in PScs5 on a EIZO color edge monitor. When I open my image photoshop displays all of the colors fine. When I change to full frame viewing, the image color becomes very muted and washed out. After this happens if I put it back to normal screen the colors stay muted. I can save the image, close it, and when it reopens the color are back to normal, like nothing happened. What is happening? I am very frustrated. I have calibrated my monitor twice and nothing has changed. I have never come across this before and I am totally stumped.

Just a suggestion. Did you check your video card recently? What is your video memory? – Sid Dec 21 '12 at 2:56
Question: Do you have more than one video card (integrated and discrete) and working on a laptop ? – Peng Tuck Kwok Dec 21 '12 at 4:16

There has been some posted issues on this problem for CS5 at this link: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/colour_glitches_when_switching_to_fullscreen_mode_in_photoshop

An easy test is to turn off OpenGL Drawing in Preferences and see if the problem goes away. Hope this helps.

AHHH! THANK YOU! I think this will solve the problem. I will try tomorrow. – Azur Jan 2 at 3:22
I tried changing my OpenGL Drawing in Preferences from Basic to Normal and my colors no longer shift. Thanks for the answer. – Elizabeth O'Neill May 16 at 18:12
