I have a problem. I use vista (Some of you now saying that is the problem ^^)
When I open a picture in the picture viewer, the warm red colors are more purple than red. If I use GIMP or even paint the colors are correct.
Do you know anything to do about it?
I can post SS if you want.

I got XP ><

nah, all you can do it adjust your monitor settings, or ur graphics settings.

but just open the pictures in digital photo professional to view them, you dont really need to view the perfect colours when ur just having a glance through in windows viewer. that's really all it is, just having a quick look at ur pics. I just open them in dpp or ps if i wanna real good look at them.


Hope that helped

Well. It have nothing to do with my screen.

For a long time I have done the thing you say. It is just annoying.

XP sp3 + Photoshop CS2 or 3 > Vista + Gimp

seriously though that's the weirdest thing I have ever heard
are you using some kind of color profile for your monitor or something?

I'd suggest posting a screen shot, this is interesting!

i think your using different color space overally and on gimp

i have the exact same thing.

its some default on the picture viewer that is quite annoying

I think it would be something to do with the color settings of the monitor or graphics card.
What -bit are you using to display your monitor with?

You guys are getting it all wrong.




Yup. Here you go:
