I couldn't.  So I had some added.  Now I have 625 GB free of 892....much better shape I would say,  But, before that, I went onto Adobe's support page and found somewhere that told me to move color files out of a certain place, and one by one, figure out which color file was corrupt by moving them back.  I went through each color file one by one and none of them were corrupt, but since doing that, I haven't had a single issue again, so I don't really know what fixed the problem. 

Alright, so I have run a cleenup and was able to make it be 40.2 GB of 223 free...I know it's not perfect but it's a start.  What would be the next course of action you would take in fixing this PS issue? 

k thanks.  will do that first thing

Ok good to know...I will work on that one...not sure where to even start or what's safe to remove, but I will figure that one out.

Well, I tried to do some backup of RAW files to Dropbox yesterday, but didn't realize it was storing them on my hard drive.  I thought Dropbox kept them off site...guess not the way I thought...anyway, maybe I just start there?  Do you think if I cleared space this would help my problems?

I have a PC desktop running Windows 10 and Photoshop CC. It is over 2 years old, and has 8GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 21GB free out of 223GB. The last time I shut down was just before posting this thread. I rarely run a cleanup program.

No no no.  It hasn't fixed the issue, it's just a clue about the issue.  And again, it points to a problem with the calibrator, rather than with your computer or Photoshop.

Next question, can you fill this out for me?

yep, I will work on that now.

however, it does it again for the next picture I open up.  Is there a way to save it so it stops doing this automatically?

well lookie there...it appears to have fixed the issue!

I knew you would be the only one on the internet who could help me!  Seriously you saved the day.  Thank you so much!

it looks normal to me...am I looking for something in particular?

Ok I just followed all of the steps in that link and restarted PS with the same result

I am on Firefox

ok good to know

does it make a difference if the opening screen of PS is perfectly normal in color?

Which Spyder do you have, and how old is it?

Spyder 3 Pro and it's probably like 4 years or so....best guess

Hi Becky, this happens to everyone from time to time.

How about Bridge?  Is it ok, or displaying weirdly too?

Not just your workspace.  The problem is worse than that.  Follow this to its conclusion to fix the colour space problem.

I made sure my color space is correct, but nothing has changed.  I have restarted my computer and it still shows this wonky green

Ok, phew.  Then that probably just means it was a glitch in calibration.  How many times have you calibrated just now?

twice.  But I am wondering if I am screwing it up...

yep, same problem in bridge as well.

Oh and it changed around my workspace too.  It was really weird and completely messed up.  Not sure what happened to make this all take place.

Some random notification popped up when I opened PS/CC stating I needed to update my calibration or something.  I went ahead and hit to the button to ignore it, but went ahead and closed PS and calibrated my monitor.  Well, after the calibration, I pulled in several pictures to edit, and they all had this crazy green tone to them.  I never changed any of my settings and they look normal everywhere else.  What settings do I need to fix to get this back to the way it's supposed to be?
