Hi all,

I hope this is the right section for this, if not could it please be moved to where it would belong.


I've had this problem for quite a while, but I've been able to use my university's computers for image work until now.

Basically I'm a photography student, so I need my computer to be able to work on images without worrying whether the images will come out a completely different colour than I edited them as. I had the screen calibrated almost immediately after purchase, but to no avail. I personally am not fully computer crazy, so I'm not entirely sure what I can do to fix this, but I did give it to the computer tech people at Uni and again with no results.

This link shows the current problem, the top left image shows the image as I believe the colour should - roughly - be, the bottom left image is exactly the same with the exception of sharpening and posted on the internet, and the right image is the top left image print screened and opened straight away in photoshop.

I finish first year of photography at Uni in 2 weeks, which means computer access privileges will be revoked until next year, and I will require my laptop to be properly colour correct in order to simply be able to edit my images.

Any possible help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Daan.

color managed vs. non color managed program.
You will always see a difference.

Very likely, PS is correct, the browser is wrong.

To minimise this difference, use sRGB.

Have a read in the link from my sig.

Those notebook are known to fail due to NVIDIA faulty chip ,nvidia defective chips (http://xtreview.com/addcomment-id-6635-view-more-and-more-defective-nvidia-chips.html) , i suggest u to RMA it , BAD picture rendering and poor image are the first sign or faulty chip

But that would affect all applications equally, right?

No this a defect due to NVIDIA wrong chip packing , it appear with corrupted graphic , But this is not usually the case .
