Why, Windows?

[flibberdipper]

Whenever I go to use the Windows Photo Viewer, it makes the picture have a kinda brown tint to it. It's really distracting, and I want to know if there's a way to fix it so that it's normal. I attatched a picture of what I'm talking about. Here are the specs of the machine that I'm having this problem on: Pegatron 2ACF - AMD A6-3650 - AMD Radeon HD 6530D - Hitatchi HDS721010CLA630 1TB - Samsung M378B5273CH0-CH9 x2 (2x4GB DDR3 1333MHz) - Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit

Google Picasa is what I have been using since 2008. The best photo viewer imo.

Happens in Windows Live Photo Viewer and granny doesn't want me installing anything else that could possibly change file defaults.

I personally hate it. Personal preference.

Windows photo viewer has some "add effects" BS to it that I've activated somehow, by accident, myself.

 

Saved the resolve in notepad.

 

• In the control panel, make sure you are viewing them in large or small icons, not "category". There is a "View by:" dropdown menu for changing this setting in the upper-right area of the control panel window. Look for the control panel named "Color Management". 
• After completing Step E in the Method 1 instructions above, you'll see a new item listed in the ICC profiles list. It has the same name as the color palette you chose (sRGB IEC61966-2.1). Make sure it is highlighted then click the "Set as Default Profile" button.

Method "e" and others, I had to google what I said to find this;

 

a. Go to Control Panel then Hardware and Sound then Color Management.

b. Select your display device.

c. Check the box “Use my setting for this device”.

d. Click Add.

e. Choose “sRGB IEC61966-2.1” 

f. Set it as default.
