I'm now certain this is the problem. Finder is using my calibrated profile while photoshop is using the embedded sRGB profile. I took a look at the image in iPhoto again and it looked about the same as it did on the desktop. I like the look of the photo in Photoshop better but I guess I can deal with how it has come out.

I did try this and the background looked the same. Thanks for your input though.
