Photoshop to Flexi Funky Colors?

Hey guys

Lately I've been having some problems with colors. I design a lot of stuff in Photoshop and then when I go to export from Photoshop to Flexisign the colors go way off.

IE, I design something red in photoshop and then I export the PDF, JPG, Tiff or whatever file it may be and open it in Flexi and it's more of a purpleish. Anyone have this problem or know of a solution?

And as far as I know it's not a display error. The JPG from Photoshop is actually red when I view it with a normal viewer and the JPG from Flexi that is the same image I exported from photoshop and into Flexi then from Flexi to a JPG is the purple hue.

Complex, I know but I hope it gets the question across.

Is it possible to design using CMYK Colors in Photoshop? I'm hoping this will fix my problem. The funny thing is I haven't noticed it until recently.

Edit.

Alright, I found out the problem. It turns out I WAS designing is CMYK mode in Photoshop. So in Photoshop CS4 I went to Image>Mode>And selected RGB Color rather than CMYK mode. Then I exported a new image and low and behold the colors were right.
