Color Temperature in Photo Gallery Bigman32 7/4/2007 12:18:01 PM I recently installed Windows Vista Business on my PC. Before the upgrade, I was using Roxio Easy Media Creator for my photos, videos, etc. Seeing ho Microsoft has included a decent photo tool in Windows Vista (Photo Gallery) I figured I'd give it a try before reinstallig Roxio. However, when I open any of my pictures, the color temperature is all messued up. There is a brownish haze on all of them that I can only fix by adjusting the color temperature slider. Has anyone else run into this before? If so, how do you fix it? I never had this problem with Roxio. The pictures always displayed the correct colors from the start. Thanks for the help!

Re: Color Temperature in Photo Gallery "babaloo" <fac187[ at ]hotmail.com> 7/4/2007 3:13:04 PM Vista has a reported problem with color management. Every time you get one of those idiot warning boxes, e.g. do you really want to do the simple thing you have already clicked three boxes to affirm you want to do it, Vista reportedly unloads monitor profile information from the video driver. What is listed as the profile may not be the active profile. If you calibrate your monitor for color managed digital photography you have to remember to reload this profile every frigging time. Presumably you do not calibrate your laptop but do need to make sure that the color profile is the generic one for your computer screen (its in there, you just have to find it).
