In an idle moment, I compared the simultaneous display of an image with an embedded profile by both PS and Windows Explorer (XP). They were not the same. I also compared it to a print made from the same file on a Durst Lambda for which I have the profile. The print and the PS display matched.
Windows is doing colour management - I proved it by removing the profile from the image, and Windows displayed it differently - as I would have expected. Since the Windows (XP) colour management tab states that it is using the same monitor profile as PS, does anyone know why Windows comes out with a different result from PS. I could make the PS display almost the same as the Windows display by using hue/saturation, shifting the hue slider by -7 and the lightness slider by -3. Other than the colour management tab (accessed via settings>control panel>display>settings>advanced>colour management) I have not found any other way to control what Windows is doing re colour management, such as what engine it is using or the rendering method. A lot of people use Windows Explorer to view images, and it would be nice to think they were seeing the images correctly. Any thoughts?
