Default Windows Photo Viewer Discolouration? - 05-12-2012, 06:58 | posts: 18,943 | Location: Toronto, Canada

Hey guys,

I'm experiencing a weird issue with the Windows Photo Viewer, it seems that all the photos on the photo viewer has this bright tan tint to it.

Here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing:


It's a screenshot of a screenshot of CPU-Z shown in Paint and shown in Windows Photo Viewer.

Does anyone know how to fix this discolouration?

Thanks,

It's a colour profile issue, it happens with one of my old monitors when I install the drivers. Easy fix, though, just follow this link (similar to the first one above but a bit clearer. Says Vista but should work in windows 7 as well.

Had the same issue as well a while ago. Posted a thread about it here as well. Look up the color profiles as "dcx" suggested
