They will appear avoersaturated with Windows photo or Windows viewer. Windows Photo Viewer - wrong colors It is quite a lightweight application and provides good features to view photos. This is very visible if you display sRGB photo on a wide gamut monitor. Image = Image.FromStream(memory_stream, false, false) įIBITMAP picture = FreeImage.LoadEx(path) // washed out colorsīitmap bitmap = FreeImage. Unfortunately, Windows Phot and Windows viewer are not color managed so thy do not take in account the monitor profile, resulting to incorrect colors displayed. MemoryStream memory_stream = new MemoryStream() Using (FileStream file_stream = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read)) // washed out colors image = Studio\pictures\pokemon.jpg") // washed out colors I tried loading the image in 3 different ways, but same result: Image image = GetImage(OPEN)
Most images displays correctly but some few images gets washed out. For generic image viewing I use ACDSee Pro, but IrfanView is a good free alternative.When I show a specific image in a PictureBox (or Cyotek's ImageBox in my case, doesn't matter), the color gets a little washed out. For surfing the internet I use Mozilla Firefox, and then follow How to configure Firefox color management this process here to enable it to play along with your monitor profile You can't trust your colour unless you can trust your program to handle the monitor profile correctly. Without an application that will seek out and load the colour profile of your from the Windows Colour System (WCS), like Photoshop does, the only thing you can be sure about is that your greyscale values are correct. It then measures the primaries to generate a colour space and palms the rest off to the system. Your calibrator, the Spyder 2, only calibrates the relative difference in colours and the white point to keep them consistent. It's the curse of the wide gamut monitors and why I don't recommend them to anyone without first giving them a big speil about how they work and what to expect. If Windows Explorer is producing an image that appears more saturated than Photoshop Elements, and you have a wide gamut monitor than it would fit that Photoshop has correctly loaded the (wider gamut) monitor profile, and done the appropriate maths to make the image look correct (duller to compensate for the wider gamut). I don't know how to verify the loaded monitor profile in Photoshop Elements, but it sounds like it's fitting scenario b) quite well.
