Photoshop :: CS6 (64-bit) Pictures Turn Brown

I'm trying to make a display picture (An avatar of sorts) to use, but whenever I try to, any picture I place using "File > Place" gains like a seipatone color instead of its normal colors. Here is what I do, step-by-step:
 
1. Open Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64-bit)
2. Start a New Project.
-Width: 160, Height: 220, Resolution: 72 (Width and Height are in Pixels)
-Color Mode: RGB 16-bit (I've tried all bits of RGB mode)
3. File>Place and browse for the image. It is not at all brown-scaled right now.
4. It turns brown.
 
Here is the example I'm showing:
 
Normal Picture: [URL].......

In Photoshop: [URL]............
 
I've used this same version, same steps, and created all kinds of artwork. But all of a sudden, everything turns up brown.
