  Did u accidentally revert the images to CMYK?
  
  Or that, you might have accidentally change your monitor calibration?

  I think you need to calibrate your screen... forgot which programme I used but you could run a quick search on google.
  
  The calibration is so that your screen is of so called correct brightness and color from your actual thingie.

  Hmm if it is my monitor calibration problem... how come i can see the saved picture is darker on my comp?

  Its probably saved with CMYK colours.
  
  did u check that?
  
  However, if you are designing for print, then expect that the CMYK colours would be the type of colours seen on print, NOT RGB (even if your inkjet can print RGB tones)

  IF u see that ya images are really in CMYK mode...
  
  Go, Under menu > Image > Mode > RGB

  Depends.
  
  YOu could go to edit and check your colour settings. See what is your default colour modes.
  
  You could start when you click 'new' and select RGB under mode
  
  You could go to image and click RGB before you start working
  
  And when you save, see if you have clicked which ICC profile

  Maybe u can crop that image and upload the image to a free host and we see what may be wrong with it.

  NP.
  Is the image as GIF or Jpeg? The former carries lesser range of colours than Jpegs resulting in dull colours if the colours used are not withing the range.
