Okay. I really need help with vista color management. Can someone please tell me how to get the right colors?

And mods, this is photography related.

get spyder and u get right colors, there are some calibration charts in internet, but theyr not that accurate

It is not calibration. It is color profiles, maybe I should have said that.

Btw, I made your Raw editing guide a sticky.

Spyder, although it's quite expensive.

When I use windows picture viewer it looks normal (Although when I make a slideshow it looks like picture 2), but when I open with paint it looks like this. When I send it to my friends it looks like the one in paint.

I use ProPhoto-RBG from Lightroom.

If you find out I need to know too! my windows picture viewer makes the image look horrible! the shadows are all messed up and there is a lack of contrast and more

Stop looking at images in the windows picture viewer?

This isn't really a colour management question by the way.

Even though I send the pictures to my friends they will get the same result which I find sad, since I want to show people what I do. And when I opload the pictures to flickr I got the same problem.

Are you sure about that?

Also, why are you working in the prophoto colourspace instead of Adobe RGB?

Yup here you go:



I do not know. But I think I got the same problem when using Adobe RGB.
