If I viewed the pictures through Irfan View or XnView or Nikon View NX2 , etc. they are all fine.

So why does Window's own native picture viewer gives a yellow cast?


I think you are beating yourself up over nothing. Stick with the advice from the previous thread and stop worrying.

Simply use the software which does work and ignore the software which doesn't.

I would put it down to a typical PC glitch, but what would I know as a Mac user.

If you get the full range of tones from test strips like the one on Philip's website:

Then that's the most important thing. (While you are there take a look at his wonderful wildlife images...)

You have to remember that very few people who view your images on screen will be using a calibrated monitor, so you can go to the nth degree to get it right on your screen but nobody else will see it like you do. So if it's somewhere near, stop worrying about it and enjoy your photography.

That's my view on this, fwiw.
