White is Yellow?

Hi,

When I preview a image on Windows Photo Gallery, the background should be white but it is yellow?
Also when I open Photoshop it says that my Colour (something) is incorrect?

I have the Samsung 245b 24" Monitor

Thanks
Danny

You need to set up an ICC profile for the monitor, its a common issue with the Photo Gallery and Samsung TFT's.

Start > Control Panel > Color Management

I have messed around and the yellow is still there though?

If you go to the "advanced" tab in "Color Management", what "Device Profile" do you have set?

The samsung one broke my Picture Gallery (as did a few of the others). I had to change to "System default (sRGB IEC61966-2.1)".

I had the Samsung Natural Pro Colour one, just changed to System default (sRGB IEC61966-2.1, do I need to restart to see any changes?

Yes, restart the machine
