![]() In your case I certainly would recommend another viewer. True, different coverage of sRGB colour space(gamut) but it's closest then any other colour space. You woudn't have that problem with a sRGB monitor. Some of them might approximate sRGB but there's always the need for a PCS conversion. It would be true if everybody's monitor covered sRGB 100%, but there's no such monitor. I had been unaware before that its CMS was half-baked so now I try to educate others not to fall into the same trap as I did. I've got a wide-gamut, profiled Eizo (98% Adobe RGB), and the moment I bought it I had to abandon FastStone. If he can't properly profile, it's best to use sRGB because it's your best bet for consistancy. ![]() If any, we better ask OP what monitor he's using. With sRGB you don't need a conversion only if you need RGB or Prophoto RGB, then you need icc profiles converting from and to diferent colour spaces. If the OP doesn't calibrate his screen you could say it's moot, because he's not going to get proper colour conversion anyway but since this is a photography forum I thought it necessary to point out a basic shortcoming in this, otherwise nice, program. That's not proper colour-management, I'm afraid, since it doesn't take into account your monitor profile. If the OP doesn't calibrate his screen you could say it's moot, because he's not going to get proper colour anyway but since this is a photography forum I thought it necessary to point out a basic shortcoming in this, otherwise nice, program. Go to "settings", go to the "CMS" tab and check CMS then click ok. ![]() FastStone Image Viewer shows oversaturated sRGB files with its CMS on, on my monitor.īy the way, you can turn on CMS in FastStone Image Viewer, this way jpeg and TIFF are colour managed. OP, or anybody searching this topic who might read this thread, should be aware of this, the more so because photographers nowadays frequently buy wide-gamut monitors and calibrate/profile them if they care about colour at all. It only will be a problem using RGB or ProPhoto RGB. So, any of these will do and it was not a request of the OP to have a fully colour managed viewer.
