Colour management or user issue?

Post by DuncanL »

I'm probably being dense and have tweaked a setting somewhere I shouldn't; but XNView is doing strange things to the colours of some images:
Left is XnViewMP, right is the Windows PowerTools Peek viewer

Image

Is this me or XnView?

Thanks.

Settings > General > ICC tab? "Use ICC profile for monitor"

Has no visible effect if it's on or off.

Yes; setting the default to sRGB make those images display correctly. Thanks..
