• Windows 10 Photos Color Profile

I created a custom color profile using color calibration equipment from X-Rite. All my programs on my Windows 7 PC are displaying colors.

Step-2.: Color Management Window will appear on the screen directing to Devices tab. Step-3.: After selecting this option, Add and Remove.
2. Dec 06, 2015  does anyone else have problems with colors being displayed differently in different programs on Windows 10? Here is a screenshot I just took. Left is my photo in Lightroom, right is the same, exported jpeg photo in IrfanView. It looks the same (as in IrfanView) in the Win10 built in photo viewer. What's going on here?

Recently bought new monitor. And connected it with HDMI. No new monitor extends my laptops in-built monitor. There is 1 problem with white color (all other colors are awesome)

This is how Windows 7 Picture viewer and Windows Live Photo Viewer shows picture. (As you see not only picture but background of viewer is another tone).

This is how Photoshop shows it

Both monitors are showing color like that. How to fix that problem?

1. Go into Control Panel > Color Management.

2. Disable the color profile for your monitor (or set it to sRGB).

It seems it is a common - problem. To fix this problem, you have to remove the incorrect color profile. To do this, follow these steps:

• Click Start, type Color Management in the Start Search box, and thenpress ENTER. In the Color Management dialog box, click to select theUse my settings for this device check box.
• In the Profiles associated with this device list, click the colorprofile that you want to remove, and then click Remove.
• Note If you receive a warning message, click Yes. Close the ColorManagement dialog box and then restart the computer to apply thesetting.

Update:

• If there is no color profile present, then Click Add, and add sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color profile and make it default. Then restart.

I was looking for something different but had to chime in since the chosen answer is very inaccurate.

Yes it fixes the problem the user is having because the problem was most likely to do with a corrupt monitor profile.

But if you happen to be someone who photoshops your photos then you'll want the most accurate representation of colour and the only way to do that is with custom ICC profiles.

Assuming he deletes the corrupt profiles, everything will revert to looking the same but that means that he is also without a custom profile.

I don't think I've managed to explain it as well as some of the other people here..

TL;DR: You want to delete the profile if it is corrupted but no you shouldn't just leave it at that.
