Windows question

[figmo]

When I print my screen in Windows and then copy the result into Photoshop, for reasons unknown to me the result comes out a bit pinkish.

Is there some kind of adjustment I need to make to my Windows software to make this work without having to adjust the RGB levels on the result in Photoshop every time?

I'm not a Windows or Photoshop user, but I do work for an imaging company. Sounds like you need to adjust Photoshop's default white point.

Basic idea is likely correct. In Photoshop this is under "Edit" -> "Color Settings"

I use the "North America General Purpose Defaults" settings and don't have problems.

IN addition to the previous comments, look on the monitor manufacturer's web page for an ICC Monitor profile file.

Then, as adobe help says:

Choose File > Save As.
Do one of the following:
To toggle the embedding of the document's current color profile, select or deselect ICC Profile (Windows) or Embed Color Profile (Mac OS). This option is available only for the native Photoshop format (.psd) and PDF, JPEG, TIFF, EPS, DCS, and PICT formats.
To toggle the embedding of the document's current proof profile, select or deselect Use Proof Setup (available for PDF, EPS, DCS 1.0, and DCS 2.0 formats only). Selecting this option converts the document's colors to the proof profile space and is useful for creating an output file for print. For information on setting up a proof profile, see Soft-proofing colors.
Name the document, choose other save options, and click Save.
