Now if you go back and view the image again woha ! You now have a clear image displays all the color correctly. Now make sure you set the new ICC Profiles “ sRGB IEC61966-2.1” to default, by clicking “ Set as Default Profile”
Enable check “ Use my settings for this device”, then go to “ Add…” Within the Color Management, pick the corresponding display (if you have more than one display). Here is a fix if you ever encounter such issue.
So Why Windows Photo Viewer is Displaying any white or transparent color into yellow and orange ?Īpparently, this is due to an incorrect color management display profile. You can determine that by switching to a different photo viewer, and you will see your photo are displaying correctly. The problem is a Windows Photo Viewer specific issue. But I soon realize this is not because of my video card nor display driver out dated nor my physical monitor. Initially, I thought it might be due to some out dated graphic driver, or my monitor settings problem.
It replaces any white or transparent color into those ugly yellow or orange tint color. It’s not over saturating or color imbalance. Recently, my work machine displays any image in Windows Photo Viewer with extra yellow or orange tint.
