Ok this is “random” because this problem is random in of itself.

Any PNG I open up in Photoshop gets wassssshed out hard, desaturated, if you will.  
Problem seems to only be with PNGs, and I’m in RGB.

now, should it be 8bits/channel, 16bits/channel or 32bits/channel? maybe i changed that setting without remembering, either way i dont recall what it _should_ be set at…

Any ideas?
