I am running Corel Draw 9 and the reds look like orange. Basically there seems to be no red when setting a fill color to full red it still looks orange and have browsed through all color libraries and no red.
Other reds anywhere else show fine on my monitor so I know it isn't the monitor or settings.
Have read through the help files quite extensively and have yet to come across any cures.
Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciatted.

Kev: Have you tried using a different color palette? Use the Window menu (I think). [sig]<p> <br><a href=mailto:techsupportgirl@home.com>techsupportgirl@home.com</a><br><a href= </a><br> [/sig]

Kept fooling around and the answer seemed to lay in color management and then profiles under the tools menu.
I loaded the profile from the monitor driver disk and it didn't help then every different model of my brand of monitor (ViewSonic) and always red would look orange.
Finally I started loading some of the other profiles and after much trial and error found the Multisync G22 profile worked best.
My reds are now red (or at least a close facsimile)
Too bad there wasn't (maybe there is) some adjustment for this rather than trial and error picking of monitors. I have the exact same problem on another totally different computer and I bet it is the same thing, wrong profile.
Thanks for the reply and suggestion.
