Screen Problems

[Nic Kuiper]

This is a difficult problem to explain but ill give it a go anyway because its frustrating the hell out of me.

The color and brightness changes substantially between lightroom and picasa which is my photo viewer. Picasa seems to display the same as how it appears on every computer other computer i look at my pics on.

So bassically on my laptop my desktop and picasa display pictures one way and lightroom, my browsers and every other program display them another.

I have tried changing the settings in color management back to default and trying to change them to other settings but nothing seems to work.

Any help would be hugely appreciated.

If you shoot in raw, that would be the reason why. Picasa has its own image interpreter and automatically processes your raw images into a viewable format. Lightroom lets you do the processing. Lightroom is showing the default data while Picasa is adjusting exposure, contrast, colors, and such.

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks
