| 1434082 | 2017-04-11 22:36:00 | I have used Irfanview for many, many years. Although I also have Lightroom and Photoshop Elements, I find that simply to view my photos taken on a shoot that it is the quickest, can then delete before using a more sophisticated program. However, I notice that the colours are quite a bit less vibrant on Irfanview. Why would this be please ? | Misty (368) | ||

I saw this on another forum, not sure if still true "Irfanview converts all stuff to sRGB and do not honor display profile." Have you calibrated the colors on your monitor/software ? |

| 1434084 | 2017-04-12 02:28:00 | Yes, 1101, I calibrate my monitor every three months with Spyder. Many thanks for the info! | Misty (368) | ||
| 1434085 | 2017-04-12 21:15:00 | I assume you've got the "Color Management" options enabled in IrfanView? Options -> Properties/Settings -> Zoom / Color Management. |
