Photo Viewer Restore worked but now color washed out


Hi,

I just restored Windows Photo Viewer successfully. I had done this last July too, when I went from Windows 7 to 10. It worked just fine, but this time, the colors were all washed out in Photo Viewer.

I solved this by adjusting my color profile in Windows 10, and the Photo Viewer colors went back to normal.

Lumia 1020 adds yellow tint to photos

Thanks to @canonrock . Its definetly work for me. I have Lumia 1020 with latest Cyan update and i was also facing a yellowish tint on pictures i capture from any camera app on most of the indoor pictures and got frustered of it as i try to show pics to someone
about the clarity of my phone, they also feel what a terrible camera not capturing the real colors and there cheap phone are better than this. One day i just copied all the pics to my pc and what i noticed is all the pics are shown correctly on my pc with
no yellow tint over them but again i check on my phone they are yellow, i tried to send a pic from whats app to iphone 4 and there also the pic was outstanding. Then it clicked to my mind that there is no problem in camera but there is some problem with the
viewer of photos which is showing me the yellow images. I had also tried different viewer like HD photo viewer but it also don't help me.



Then thanks to canonrock tried his mentioned trick that is Go to settings > display > adjust color > then set color temperature to cool and
color saturation to Natural or adjust accordingly..Woola the yellowish tint is gone and its fixed now. Thanks once again. Hope it will help others.
