Your modified image will appear correctly, as it did
previously with a gamma 2.2 rendering, by changing
your image while working in the Dot Gain 20% profile.

To correct your image you might try the following:

I am assuming that your current file has gamma 2.2
when you view the image on the screen...

I would retrieve the original gamma 2.2 file, whether it
has an assigned gamma 2.2 or an embedded gamma 2.2
in the file, then make a copy of this original image, and
save it with a different name, then close the original
image file.

Reopen the original image file with the gamma 2.2
profile, then open the copy of this image file, and when
it is opened, reassign the current profile of the copied
file to Dot Gain 20% from gamma 2.2 using the
Edit/Assign Profile/ command in your menu bar.

This change of profile from gamma 2.2 to Dot Gain 20%
will make the copied file be lighter in appearance.

You must make the image with the reassigned value of
Dot Gain 20% look like the image on the screen with the
assigned value of gamma 2.2, by changing this file
accordingly with adjustment layers, curves and, or
whatever it might take to completely alter the copied
image, where the copied image mimics the original
image file with the assigned profile of gamma 2.2 on
your screen.  The latest version of CS2 allows you to
work with two different assigned profiles at the same
time.

When you think you accomplished that properly, save
the copied file containing the Dot Gain 20%. You can
imbed the profile and save the file, or simply save the
file with the newly assigned profile.

You should make certain that your Colour Settings Profile
Mismatches are obviously checked in the check box for
Ask When Opening, Ask When Pasting and your Missing
Profiles should also be checked for Ask When Opening.

If you have these boxes checked, you will be alerted
in the future to the fact that a file you are about to
open has a profile assigned to it, and it will become
your choice whether to keep the profile active or turn
it off.

Try that and see if it helps you...
