I have been using Vista for about 9 months now and everything has been peachy until last night. Vista installed the latest Windows updates and now I am having color problems. The two programs that are effected are the Windows Previewer and PhotomatixPro, both have a very yellow and dark tinge to them. If I open the same photo in PSE5, all is well. I run a very similar Vista machine at home and I installed the same updates there with no ill effects. I tried playing with the color management but it does nothing.
Anyone had a similar issue? Any other ideas? |

| The only suggestion that I would have would be to try and go back though and remove the update that installed. Being as it seems to be program specific I don't think there are many color adjustments you can make. |

| I had a very hard time with Vista and trying to set anything to get it right, finally added a pantone Huey. Keep it calibrated once a week or so and have it on monitoring room brightness all the time. |

When you say you fussed with color management, did you insure that the icc profile Vista is using is the same as your editor... If your editor is correct and vista colors are not than vista is using a different profile.
Right Click on the desktop choose Personalize...
Display Settings > Advanced Settings... click color management tab
Insure you have the proper device pick (your monitor + video card)
Choose the same ICC profile that your editor is using in the list.
Click the Set as Default button.
ED: Note PhotoCal is my calibrated profile... if you are not calibrating then you won't have that...
If everything is default for you, you should probably use the sRGB one if you created a profile in Adobe you will probably have an Adobe sRGB.1998 or something like that and that would be the choice.

I have never played with the color management before yesterday and I did change the default several times but nothing changed. I pretty much adjusted any setting I could find with no change, ever. I am wondering if something is actually broken.

It was the NVidia GeForce driver from Microsoft. It was one of the updates that it did 2 nights ago. I downloaded the driver from NVidia and all is back to normal.

Yup always use the Forceware Drivers for nVidia GPUs.
Note: be care when using the nVidia Control panel because that is beyond your color profiles... You can adjust gamma and everything there but what you see might not be what we see when looking at your shot across the net. |
