Hello Everyone,
I need a little advice. I have a slight issue: My scanned slides look too dark when viewed as Windows thumbnails or with Windows Picture Preview/Slide Show (I’m using Windows XP).
I scan the slides with a Minolta Scan Dual II using the AdobeRGB color space then save the image with the profile embedded. Could that be the issue? None of my other thumbnails have this problem except for the ones scanned and saved through Photoshop (I used to use Paint Shop Pro 8). In Photoshop I use "US PrePress Defaults" as my color space (this uses AdobeRGB1998) and when I do a save I check the box to embed the color space.
In Windows, I right-click the desktop and go to Properties–> Settings–> Advanced–> Color Management Tab and have the Monitor’s Color Profile in there as the default.
The interesting thing is that my laptop doesn’t have this problem, and the only difference is that I *don’t* have a monitor profile in the Windows’ properties.
Often times it’s easier to use the Windows built-in thumbnail viewer to show the pictures or setup a simple slide show, but I want my pictures to look right as well.
Can anyone offer me any tips/advice/solutions? Thanks!
