Recently screen shots I take are covered in pink. Not all of them, just when I use the shift-cmd-4 to capture a portion of the screen. It will print pink also.
There may be something else going on too. Sometimes when I view pictures on FaceBook, they flash pink and then correct themselves. Any ideas?

Back up all data.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
defaults delete -g CGContextHighlight2xScaledImages
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal. Log out or restart the computer. Test.

I'm not sure what that was, but it seems to have worked. From the terminal response, I wasn't so sure.
You ran the command twice. The second time it threw an error, because it worked the first time.
