Mine doesn't. It shows 50% in the color picker, as well as the histogram.

oops so strange, does anyother one see this problem?:eek:

maybe the format your saving as?

hey, check your color management... if the grey channel is handled as black in print-CMYK, it could be that your photoshop simulates the black color for printing and therefor increases the values...

hope this helps
