iPhone photos appear desaturated

Post by Thane5 »

Photos taken with an iPhone XS and SE 2022 appear desaturated in XnView. This applies to both JPEG and HEIC files.
Tested in XnView MP 1.8.3 under Windows 11.

Thanks, that fixed it.

But shouldn't this be active by default? I think most users would expect colors to look right, even at a minor performance cost (Not to mention that XnView is the only image viewer that had this issue out of all viewers that i tested for comparison).
