Interesting color issue..

[Stephen Marshall]

So I have found an odd color issue on my monitor. This thing isn't calibrated, but I did my best on my own with the manual adjustments and its fairly close. However here's the problem.. When I look at my photos in Lightroom 2 they have a very defined warm color to them. However, when I export the photo with no adjustments it looks just fine, both as a desktop background, and online. Anyone have any idea whats going on?

In the attached photo you can see the color difference. My BG image was exported from LR with the color setting sRGB. Could LR be using Adobe RGB and my monitor be on sRGB?

LR is "color managed" while your Windoze desktop and image viewer are not.

Technically speaking, LR is "correct" while any Microsoft apps are "guesstimates."
