Windows Photo Gallery shows tinted background when previewing images
When previewing an image using Windows Photo Gallery, the image is displayed with a Yellow background and appeared dark and off colored. This issue was widely reported in various Windows Vista forums last year. But this problem surfaced in my system only after installing the Windows Vista Service Pack 1.
This is what I had to do to resolve the problem.
1. Click Start, type Color Management, and then press ENTER
2. Select the monitor from the list of devices (For example, Display: SyncMaster 940BW).
3. Click Use my settings for this device to enable the option.
4. Under Profiles associated with this device, remove all the profiles that are listed, by selecting each profile and clicking the Remove button.
Windows Photo Gallery can display images correctly!
