I started designing my own personal website about a week ago and everything was going to plan

. I was happy with the theme I had created so I took a screen shot and dragged it into Photoshop where hopefully I would have the header and theme looking the same using the eyedropper tool. I uploaded it and everything was fine, they matched perfectly.

The following day I received emails from people wondering why the colors were different when they were still the same on my MacBook & MacBook air, these people were using MacBook Pro's and some PC's.

I'm wondering is this a problem with my screen and how I can fix it, please help me as soon as possible.

Regards, Dale.

You probably embedded a color profile in the artwork files - which will cause this problem.

But it has to be my laptop if other people can see the problem and I can't.

Here are some screen shots.
