It does appear that something is not working correctly with the OP's system and this is not a inherit Win 10 problem. Like TonyW, I also do believe that with properly calibrated monitors and everything working correctly exported jpegs should display correctly in the Win 10 'Photos' app. I should point out that I do not use Lightroom and export using ACDsee Ultimate from PSD files created with Photoshop CS6. For grins, I also just exported one of the PSD files I had previously exported with sRGB color space keeping the ProPhoto color space and it also displayed correctly in the Win 10 'Photos' app. The jpegs view identical, expect for the normal wide to small color space changes you would expect, to the ProPhoto PSD files the jpegs were exported from. I see no issues when viewing exported sRGB jpegs in the Win 10 'Photos' app on either monitor. I have both a sRGB monitor calibrated with a Spyder 5 and a NEC wide-gamut monitor calibrated with the X-Rite sensor and Spectraview.

If you display them with a non colour-managed program (such as the Windows 10 Photos App), even if the monitor is calibrated and profiled, the Adobe RGB version will look undersaturated compared to the sRGB version.Īfter reading all the information posted so far, I will chime in with what I see on my Win 10 system. If you display them using a colour-managed program to a calibrated/profiled monitor then they will look the same, as one would expect (and want). Only colour-managed programs use the colour space information in the profile.įor example, suppose you save an image in two copies (with embedded profiles): one in sRGB and one converted to in Adobe RGB. This information - a measurement of the monitor - is also written into the profile.Īll programs are affected by the calibration, including Word and Excel, and benefit from the calibrated white point and TRC. Then, profiling: it measures the resulting white point, TRC and colour space of the monitor, after calibration.This information is written into the vcgt field of the profile, although technically it isn't profile information. This adjustment is done by Look Up Tables that are, as you say, loaded into the Video Card Gamma Tables at boot time. First, calibration: it attempts to adjust the white point and Tone Response Curve (TRC) of the monitor to the required state (e.g.

When one runs the calibration/profiling software, it does two things: This is not really about colour management. The other part is calibration information, which as you say is loaded into the video card at boot time. This is used by colour-managed programs (and only by colour-managed programs) to map colours from the image colour space (typically sRGB, Adobe RGB etc) to the unique colour space of the monitor, measured when the monitor is calibrated and profiled by Spyder, xrite, Agyll etc software. The main part, used by colour-management, is merely a measurement of the monitor characteristics. There are two parts to the information in a monitor profile. You will need to enable colour management as I do not think that it is enabled by defaultĬhanging back to V2 from V4 will not IMO solve the issue here, however it may be a good idea to do this anyway as there does appear to be odd issues associated with V4

Also there is FastStone Image Viewer another free option to home users.

Copying so much code manually is fraught however but you do not need to as the necessary files have been zipped and once downloaded and unzipped a simple click of the mouse and choose Merge will copy the necessary information into the registry.ģ. Editing the registry is not all that daunting and of course you will make a backup first and store it in a place where you will find it. Simon's mention of getting the previous version of Windows Photo viewer back. Downloading from a known source as Bart's link should virtually guarantee a clean file and of course you will be running at least one malware catcher and anti virus and can scan the file firstĢ. Bart's mention of IrfanView a well known and respected application with the added bonus of being free. Seems to me that you have several options:ġ.
