Windows Photo Gallery Problem

It has been working fine, but now when ever you open a photo it is not right it is all dull. Anyone know why this is?

Re: Windows Photo Gallery Problem

Have you changed any settings in the Photo Gallery? It looks to me like the Gamma settings has been adjusted down....

No, but my little brother goes on the computer maby he has changed some. But I don't think he has. I have had quite a few monitors. Could it be something in the colour management settings? How do you get to the Windows Photo Gallery settings, I could not find them.

Re: Windows Photo Gallery Problem

I doubt it would be in the color mgmt settings - both the background and the WLPG are showing on the same monitor, right? so if it looks good in one it should look good in the other as well if it were *monitor* related.

I just checked mine and the images are showing identically in WLPG as well as on my desktop:

wlpg-example.jpg

However, after clicking on some buttons, I clicked on the fix button and saw

Name:  WLPG Example 2.PNG

Perhaps the file has been changed a bit, or this is a duplicate that is changed?

They are on the same monitor, it is with all the photos when you open them up with WLPG. If you open them up in pain, IE7 or something they will be fine.

Re: Windows Photo Gallery Problem

When I clicked on that just a help guide came up. And yours says 'Windows Live Photo Gallery' mine just says 'Windows Photo Gallery'.

"Windows Photo Gallery" is what is included "in-the-box" with Windows Vista. "Windows Live Photo Gallery" is a seperate, free download. There are some improvements over the standard Vista version, and your own problem may be resolved too.

Download it here: Windows Live
