Windows 7 colour problem.

Efour · 9 Jun 2012 at 16:28

I seem to have a very strange and probably basic problem that has manifested itself without my knowledge.

The below picture is the same jpeg opened in MSpaint(TOP) and Photoviewer(BOTTOM) one of the default programs to view.

Everything looks washed out grey/green. I cant find any way to change colours or any settings.

Does anyone have any ideas?? Ive opened pictures in multiple formats in multiple programs and its only this one that has the annoying colour issue.

HELP

Go into the color management tool in control panel. Change default device profile for the device to sRGB IEC6blah.

It's probably been saved with an embedded colour profile. The Windows Photo Viewer is recognising the profile thus applying the colour correction while MS Paint is probably not.

You'll need to open it in Photoshop or other good photo editor and change the colour profile to a standard sRGB one.

it was a new colour profile that must have installed itself with an AMD or monitor driver update!?!

THanks !
