On my PC computer, XP with P4 2.6Ghz with 1G RAM and 64M video RAM, a same 24bit color tiff image looks more warm (richer color) in Photoshop than it looks in Acdsee Viewer. Why? Which one is to trust to be the true color?

It also looks a bit grainier in Acdsee. I edit the image in Photoshop to my like. It looks smooth. I Save it to tiff. When it’s viewed in Acdsee, it looks a bit too grainy.

Both you and N8 provide links to color management. But what I find there mostly have to do with color matching between different devices, monitor, printer and scanner. My question is why different viewers render the same tiff file slightly different on the same monitor. I guess that has to do with color management too, but the links didn’t help my particular issue.

Since yesterday, I tried a few more viewers on my monitor. Acdsee and XnView has the same cool color tone, while Photoshop and MS Image/Fax Viewer produce a warmer tone. I also tried Jpeg images, same result. Any idea or a more direct link to the issue is appreciated.

Yes, it does have to do with colour management. It depends whether the software you use is capable of colour management, whether you have colour management turned on, what profiles you are using within each software app and so forth. Remember – you'[re viewing on one of those devices mentioned in colour management and whether you use colour management or not, and how you have the software set up to use it, or not, will make all the difference to what you see within a particular app.
