Your monitor isn't calibrated, that's why that happens.
Photoshop allows you to use any number of color profiles, so if you go
to "Edit....Color Settings...." you will see a window that has a box
under the heading "Working Spaces". Now if you have a calibrated
monitor, then you would have created a profile that your monitor is
now using and that profile woul dhave a name that can be found under
that heading. You would just choose that profile.
If you don't have a calibrated monitor, then it's a crap shoot.
You can try using a working space of Adobe RGB 1998 and see how that
looks, but the thing is, if your monitor isn't calibrated, then what
you see on your screen might not be what others see on their's. They
only way to insure that you're seeing what most others are seeing is
to calibrate your monitor.
Just this week I bought the Spyder Pro 3 to calibrate my monitor
and it works very well. I'm happy with the results.
