You should both calibrate and profile your monitor. Photos, Paint, desktop, Edge, IE, etc.) are not colour-managed (they don't pay attention to the monitor profile). It relies on Microsoft ICM, which is not infallible, but is fine in many regular cases. Windows Photo Viewer is fine with reference colour management photos I have tested it with and they include a variety of embedded profiles, both ICC and WCS.Īgain, Windows Photo Viewer gives me correct previews, comparable to a host of other colour-managed programs on my system. What that means in simple terms is it is the LUT table that controls colors, not "Windows" or apps like PS, LR. Outside the color managed environment, you're stuck with Windows default sRGB color space.Īnd for the record, when you calibrate a monitor, the created profile will be used by either the graphic's LUT table, or the monitor's LUT table. If you want to true color management, you need to stay in a color managed environment like Photoshop, Bridge, LR, or ACDsee.
Thus if you're using "ProPhoto" that's the issue. Photo Viewer only use the sRGB color profile and ignores all others. On my wide gamut monitor the same sRGB photos which look good when viewed in the regular mode suddenly become oversaturated in the slideshow mode, and the ProPhoto RGB photos look desaturated. I don't know why they did it this way but when switching on the slideshow mode, WPV stops paying attention to the embedded profile. Yeah, I'm familiar with that hack which was originally posted at - Restore Windows Photo Viewer in Windows 10Īnyway how does Photo Viewer become un-color managed" in slideshow mode? You can get the WPV on Win10 by using a registry hack. To be clear, Windows 10 "Photos" app is not color managed, while the old Windows 7 Photo Viewer is. Yes, Windows Photo Viewer is colour-managed except in the slideshow mode.
