Can anyone tell me why images look different in Photoshop compared to Windows Picture and Fax Viewer? Every time I work up a picture in PS, save, and look at in WP&FV, it's different. It seems to me that WP&FV cranks up the color saturation.

Which one is correct?

PS is a profile aware application. WP&FV isn't. It assumes everything is in the sRGb colorspace. Are you viewing the picture in PS with Adobe1998 profile or something other than sRGB? Is your monitor calibrated?
