SL making photoshop items lighter?

[ayeying]

Here's two screenshots of my Desktop.

1) Leopard
2) Snow Leopard

Is it just me, or is some of the icons such as Aperture, Nikon, Tweet, and Phone View in the Snow Leopard lighter vs the other icons in the Snow Leopard and all the icons in the Leopard screenshot?

I edited these in Snow Leopard and Leopard and it seems the icons done in SL are lighter than the ones in Leopard.

Am I seeing stuff or is it really lighter vs the others?

Could be this.

That's an interesting looking dock you have there. Quite a few UI tweaks...

Well, I kinda figured the gamma would have something to do with it, but I'm using the same PSD file from Leopard in Snow Leopard and it seems that the brightness is darker by -20 and contrast is stronger by 20 just to match the other icons.

Does photoshop have some sort of own color management system that could be causing this? I don't think it's effecting any other items like personal photos, etc.
