Problem with renders

[raziel]

Hi guys! Im making some test renders for a new scene using max2010 and mental ray. When i render in max the image looks fine, but when i save it and open it with Windows photo viewer, the image as a yellowish tint. But, if i reopen it with max or Paint.net again it looks fine. Does this problem as something to do with the color calibration of my monitor? Ive attatched my test renders.

 

Thanks in advance!

dont use windows image viewers for image proofing as they're generally crap.

go to Control Panel / Color management, and change ur ICC to a sRGB. Well thats how i fixed it, maybe is not the correct way but it worked.

maybe you are using "Youmonitor_warm.icm" as icc profile

I did change the profiles in the color management, but i didnt try that one. It does look better with that profile, thanks Enrique! My default profile was the one with my monitors name (LGw2252). I still notice a yellowish hue in evetything that is white, so probably my monitor is badly cofigured aswell. What gamma and color temperature you normaly use with your monitor?

i know what u mean, before i fixed it all my Black and White photos was more like Purple and black , very awful.

i have it Autoadjust for graphics. and used a program from Acer to calibrate brightness and contrast, also in my experience try to don´t mess with the monitor try to solve it via software but im not expert in that.

Care to share something you use with the same snappyness and easy arrow key navigation between images in a folder?

 

I've tried a couple others, but always go back to fax/picture viewer cause I hate waiting more than a second when double clicking on a jpg to launch a program.

Hey Mike

 

i've been using ACDSee software for viewing images - it has a quick launch viewer that opens in a few seconds and if i want to browse other images - i double click on the window and then it takes a little while to open the full viewer

I also like ACDSee because its quick and handles colour quite well

Please try XnView. Google for XnView

XnView is good for a lot of things, I use it too but not for viewing HDRi's, but good for converting them to jpegs for easy viewing in windows explorer. Yet to find a programe that will let me preview HDRi's directly in Windows.

You can also try Irfan View. Google for it, it works nice for me, have not tried HDRI maps with it though.
