Colors don't look right when opened in OS X 10.5 Preview

v0rtex99
I am saving images as sRGB jpg files and when I open them up in Preview they look a little more saturated and definitely have a green cast to them. However, when I open them up in Photo Shop CS3 they look jut fine. Anyone have any idea why or what I might be doing wrong? This is really driving me crazy!

See my post down the thread for a photo example of the problem.

Thanks for your help!

P.S.
It happens with tiff files in sRGB as well. Also, when I open them up in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer on my PC they look fine. The problem seems to only be with Preview on OS X.

    Preview does have colour preferences, found in Preferences; could it be that it's set wrongly/differently?

    Same here (more saturated or better: higher contrast and a slight green cast) of images in Preview 10.5.1. Tried it with sRGB and AdobeRGB and both JPEG and TIFF. Look all the same. Sorry, no solution yet. Let's see what 10.5.2 brings (next week?).

    Paul, are you sure? No color preferences in Preview 10.5.x, yes in 10.4.

    Forgive me, I know not of what I speak :-)
    I don't have Leopard, and just assumed that Preview would have even *more* preferences than the last one ...

    I installed 10.5.2 and I am still having the same problem. And as it turns out safari has the same issue with the over saturated/contrast green cast images. I guess it is a 10.5 issue with how it displays the images. I hope Apple gets a fix soon!

    Any one else have any ideas as to why?

    Here is a screen capture to show the problem:

    Not sure if this is the problem or not - but is your display set to Gamma 1.8? It should be set at 2.2; if you profiled your monitor at 1.8 it will lead to incorrect rendering in some programs. If you haven't calibrated, Macs (at least last I checked) shipped with a display profile with Gamma 1.8 (even though Apple itself recommends 2.2...go figure). In which case, you'll need to do a calibration with it set to 2.2.

    Like I say, not sure this is the problem...a number of people have posted this same issue on the forums and are using 10.5.2 - so it could be something strange Apple changed. But I thought it was worth suggesting.

    I seem to recall reading somewhere that Preview does not use color correction from ICC profiles. I get this all the time that images previewed look pants with preview, but with PS3 or iPhoto they are perfect.

    Its a shame that Apple didn't implement full color support in Preview, when everything else seems to get it right.
