When you open an image in a color managed application, the colors are converted from the document profile to the monitor profile, which ensures that correct colors are displayed.Īpplications without color management (like Windows Photos) do not do this conversion, send uncorrected colors to the monitor, and display wrong colors. – The monitor profile must be correct and sound. – The image must have an embedded profile (known as the document profile), Included in your Creative Cloud subscription.ĭo not use Monitor RGB for proofing, that only sweeps the problem under the carpet.Ĭolor management is quite simple, and relies on two things: Color management must be enabled under Options > Properties/Settings. Color management must be enabled under Settings > CMS, and both boxes must be checked, Windows doesn't come with a color managed image viewer, so you have to use third party software. The only solution is to only use color managed applications to view your work. When viewing images in applications without color management on a wide gamut monitor (which you seem to have), colors will inevitably display over saturated. The Photos app and Paint are not color managed, and will not display correct colors. This means that colors are converted from the document profile to the monitor profile. Photoshop is color managed, and uses the monitor profile to display correct colors. I would be deeply appreciative if someone would help out! Proof setup was the only way and it now doesn't work again. Tried the solutions from this post with no result. The only way I managed to get it working is by changing the Proof Setup to Monitor RGB, but I don't have any idea why, after a short period of time(a few hours) this fix was not working anymore. I also tried swithing to other profiles and exporting as sRGB, without any effect.ĥ. I also tried to reinstall & delete the settings file of photoshop.Ĥ. I did NOT change any of the settings that the photoshop comes with. I tried using Paint & Paint 3d for opening up the image & potential editing, same colour issue was present.ģ.

I bought the Windows 10 Colour Managed version and exactly the same result.Ģ. Some of the things that I've already tried & observed:ġ. After switching to a new laptop, (Dell XPS 15), using my same old monitor (Dell as well), I spotted some really bad colour differences between Photoshop and Windows 10 Photo Viewer.
