Windows 10: Windows 11 welcome screen photos are over-saturated

The welcome screen photos are surely meant to be attractive, but at least on my Dell XPS 15 they are horribly over-saturated, like a cheap post-card. Over-saturation is not a problem in apps like Photoshop. Is there anything I can do about this? Thanks.

Windows 10 default photo app, saturates photos additionally when displaying.

Your reply seems to have disappeared; here's what I got:

Thanks for your reply. Personally I've noticed that with all the photos, compared to other apps, the default Windows photo app saturates them extra.

But my point is basically, however it "enhances" photos to make them look "best", is what shouldn't be happening, when the "enhancing" option is switched off. It should then adhere to only the colour space (sRGB). It's there for
a reason, devices adhering to it, iphones and apps, browsers.

The big question is whether Photos' Edit function produces an image that's the same on other people's machines. As far as I can tell, we're safe there - the output looks the same on both Photos and FastStone.

That wouldn't make sense if saturation was consistently overdone so I suggest this experiment - using an alternate editor, increase saturation on an image until it matches what Photos shows. Then open it with Photos. When I do this the image is identical.

 

Screen Randomly Saturating

Thanks for the help Carlo, I tried all of the things you suggested but it the saturation is still occurring, did you have any other ideas on how to fix this issue?

Hi there,

Anyone else notices the Windows 10 default photo app additionally saturates photos when displaying, compared to other photo software, and browsers? Even when the option to "enhance photos" is switched off?

It's a bit annoying as a photographer. If I end up sending photos to clients, and they view it on their Windows 10 PC, I don't want it to be extra saturated, since I work (calibrated) and specifically for proper viewing within the sRGB profile.

Regards,
