Does picasa photo viewer accept tiff6/21/2023 ![]() ![]() If the display's actual response is close to sRGB, you might get pleasing (albeit not accurate) results, but on displays which behave differently, for example wide-color-gamut displays, even mundane colors can get a strong tendency towards neon. Regrettably there are several image viewing and editing applications that only implement half-baked color management by not using the system's display profile (or any display profile at all), but an internal and often unchangeable “default” color space like sRGB, and sending output unaltered to the display after converting to that default colorspace. To quote from the dispcalGUI page I've just referred to: ![]() Have a look here to read more on how CMS should work. The point of colour management is to make the variation minimal, and if your image viewer doesn't take into account the monitor profile calling it colour-managed is disingenuous and misleading. We certainly found that an earlier version than 4.8 (that could well go back to 4.6 though) was not fully managed and was not using the calibration/profile for our projector correctly. ![]() ![]() All I recall is is that it is definitely color-aware and supports image profiles, but I have always seen questions on whether it is truly correctly color-managed in the ways that it supports the output/display profile through all its views. I just tested and FastStone can properly display TIFF with No Compression or LZW compression but not ones with Zip compression.įastStone is color managed but color management is different from program to program so the final colors you view may vary.Īs I say I do not use FastStone (though I have trialled it last fall for my camera club, that would be V4.8 I think), so I am speaking of perhaps earlier versions than absolute latest. Mark K W, I you have the right answer to the OPs question. That should cure your washed out image problem, which I'm guessing is due to your TIFF files being in 16-bit Pro Photo color space.ĭenis de Gannes, FastStond doesn't have a problem with 16-bit TIFF files if CMS is turned on. Teseg, go to FastStone Settings>Settings>CMS and check the box for Enable Color Management System (CMS), i.e. To the other poster with washed out colours, that will be because FastStone (I think even most recent version) is not color-managed (as in driving the monitor through the monitor profile). In LR preferences for Edit In and when you Export, set the TIFF compression to none (or try changing it to another form of TIFF compression). I do not use FastStone, but I think your issue will be the TIFF compression you are selecting, and your version of FastStone not understanding the compression. It's only if CS2 creates the TIF file "in response to an edit request by LR" that Fastsone cannot display the TIF image correctly.Īnyone else having the same problem with Faststone? The strange thing is that if I open a jpg image in CS2 and then save it as a TIF file, Faststone will display the thumbnail fine. If I click on the black thumbnail, the full screen display is also black with noise bars. If I open the TIF image using Windows Photo Viewer, I can view the image fine.īut if I use Faststone, the TIF thumbnails are all black with different types of noise bars in them. If I'm using Win7's Explorer, I can view the TIF thumbnail fine. When editing is done in CS2 I save the image in the TIF format and return to LR. When I'm in LR, I press ctrl-E to edit an image in CS2. I'm using Lightroom 5.3, Photoshop CS2 and Faststone on a Win7 PC. ![]()
