#Im image viewer for windows windows#

I do not know Windows Photo Viewer so I can't comment on your experience directly. I liked the windows program because it is fast and small. I guess for now I'm just going to use Lightroom for displaying photos onscreen.

Photoshop, Capture NX2, and the web browsers all know how to honor color space, but Windows Picture Viewer does not? Lightroom 2.6 also displays them correctly.everything but Windows Picture Viewer.

#Im image viewer for windows windows 7#

I'm wondering if something is wrong within my Windows 7 (and formerly Vista) settings. I have gone into my nVidia control panel and turned off its color management, selecting 'allow applications to set color space'. You noted that it seems there is something wrong with my color management - were you referring to the 'uncalibrated' color space, or something else? I'd love to figure this out. What is certain is that Windows Photo Viewer is still displaying it significantly darker. I pulled it into PSCS4 and converted it to sRGB IEC61966-2.1. Hey, you're right, it was in Nikon Adobe RGB. all are sRGB.I just can't figure this out. I've posted the actual files used for the comparison below the comparison screengrab. In all cases I am using the file actually stored on my site at SmugMug (downloaded and displayed in PSCS4 and Windows Photo Viewer along side the website in order to create this screengrab). But on the right we have one of my new images, and you can see that it displays 'normally' in Firefox and PSCS4, but (in the middle) Windows Photo Viewer displays it much darker. On the left is one of my old images - displays uniformly in (left to right) PSCS4, Windows Photo Viewer, and Firefox. So my question is.how am I botching these files so that they are acting differently than my old files? I've always converted to sRGB, and that has made them display uniformly across all platforms and applications, but now.well, here's an example.

As an aside, a friend of mine with an older XP machine says that windows doesn't recognize my jpgs (the newer ones) when I send them to him in an e-mail, and he has to bring them up in photoshop.

This is a bummer because I really the program for its quick, simple performance. Repeat - older images work just fine! But all the images I've worked on the new machine in Capture NX2 under Vista or Win7, display just fine in Capture NX2, PSCS4, IE, Firefox, but

#Im image viewer for windows software#

Ok, so here's the issue - all the images I did on the old computer, Win XP, Capture 4, PSCS2 behave just as I'd expect - they display identically in all software (PSCS4, Capture NX2, Windows Photo Viewer, IE, Firefox), on my new machine as well. Most of the Afghan images I've posted recently were processed entirely in NX2, no PSCS4, but when you see a frame, it's been through PSCS. Since then I've gotten a new laptop, and am using Windows Vista, and now Windows 7, along with Capture NX2 and PSCS4. Most of the images on my site, at least up through mid-2008, were processed on my old WinXP machine, Nikon Capture 4 to TIF, TIF processed in PSCS2, converted to sRGB, and saved as JPG. I'll cross post in retouching, but I usually get zero response over there. So, the obvious answer is to disable these features.Hoping you guys may be able to help. To вЂњspeed things upвЂќ, they have also enabled hardware acceleration for you, whether your computer is suited for this set up or not (how convenient!). Photo Viewer is trying to bring your photos into your connected life-style by connecting it up to your OneDrive account as well as enabling sharing for friends and family.

#Im image viewer for windows free#

As most free apps in 2019, вЂњfreeвЂќ is not always вЂњfreeвЂќ. It turns out that the default settings are less than ideal for performance. This behavior led me to suspect that the problem was that the program was waiting for something to connect or time out. Once loaded, it seems more or less fine and will load quickly again the next time. If you want to skip to the good stuff, just look for the list in the next section.Д«asically, I think the issue is the result of several problems mixed together causing Photo Viewer to take up to 10 seconds to load. This was driving me crazy on multiple machines and, after playing around with a few options, I think I got to the root of the issue.
