Windows photo viewer - wrong gamma in normal mode, OK in fullscreen
Hi there
I'm completely mystified by this: when I use photo viewer in FULLSCREEN mode, the photos look exactly as I expect. When I use photo viewer in the mode it normally starts up in, the same photos are very dark, like there's a major gamma shift and anything darker than mid-grey in the image is black, and the colours are much more saturated.
Incidentally when I preview the files in windows explorer the images are fine too, just not in the initial view of Photo Viewer.
Anyone come across this? I have an Nvidia graphic card but it doesn't seem to matter what I do, I get this strange shift between normal and fullscreen view.
Hope someone can offer some pointers. I can't see how one single windows program can change gamma between its own view modes!
