I've got a multiple monitor setup and one of the monitors is a IPS 27" Dell I use for colour sensitive work. Windows has a colour profile associated with that monitor.
If I open a photo in Photoshop on the Dell monitor the colours look fine. However, if I open the same photo in Windows Photo Viewer all the colours are noticeably incorrect, mainly in the shadows. Some shadows appear completely black while in Photoshop you can clearly see tons of detail.
If I drag the Photoshop window and the Windows Photo Viewer on to one of my other monitors, which don't have a colour profile, then the colours look the same in both Photoshop and Windows Photo Viewer. However, with Photoshop when you drag the Photoshop window between monitors as you release the window on the new monitor you see the colours "snap" to the appropriate colours for that monitor. This does not occur with Windows Photo Viewer.
From my research I read that problems with colours in Windows Photo Viewer could be caused by incorrect profiles assigned to monitors. However, only the Dell has a colour profile associated and I can confirm that that profile is correct.
How can I get Windows Photo Viewer to display the correct colours?
