[RESOLVED] Brownish tint when viewing picture using Vista's Windows Photo Gallery

I've recently encountered a problem when trying to preview my pictures using Vista's Windows Photo Gallery program which is my default picture viewing program...until the problem started.

It seems like a brownish tint over my images and it looked awful and annoying...

Before the fix

To fix this just follow the steps below....(finally!..).

First of all, go to your control panel and double click on "Colour Management". Tick the "Use my setting for this device" box and remove the existing ICC profile.

Next, click on "Add..." and scroll down and locate a profile named sRGB IEC61966-2.1 and click OK.

Once it has been added, click on "Set as Default Profile". You can now close it.


Reboot your PC.

Now it should return to normal like above.

Please take note that this fix may OR may not work for everyone. Have a try..at least it worked for me.
