Windows Photo Gallery COLOR DEPTH ISSUE

Hi,
I read mostly the posts that could suit to this issue, but still not solved.
ONLY In WPG the color depth seems to be poor. Not truecolor (24bit), max
highcolor (16bit) or less. I read that for some people has icm issue
(yellowish, sepia, etc) resolved by changing the profile. My colors are -lets
say- right, but it looks like being posterized in Photoshop. It is a fresh
Vista Home Premium, with ATI 2400 Pro and Dell WFP2407. I put yesterday the
SP1, but nothing has changed. OK, I am not in love with WPG - I use picasa,
photoshop - but really uncomfortable feeling. If someone has the same problem
or know any solution, please help me!

Re: Windows Photo Gallery COLOR DEPTH ISSUE

AFAIK Photo Gallery only uses the system color settings so it couldn't
change the colour depth of the display. Neither should an ICM profile,
though that would affect colour quality if the wrong profile is used. Have
you tried installing the latest video card drivers from AMD/ATI?

In Windows you should be using the ICM profile provided for your monitor or
perhaps none at all if you are using a profile in Photoshop. Be careful that
you aren't double correcting the color in Photoshop by using an ICM profile
within that software on top of the correction Windows is already doing.
