Colour difference? [Solved]

[steel_life_photos]

Hi, apologies - i tried running a search but couldnt find the answer (probably me).

I’m using a Macbook and photoshop (latest version) for editing - when i create a Tif and then open that file in XnView, some colors are noticeably different. For example I have a bird with a blue background in photoshop, but in XnView it’s more purple (see attached example - photoshop on left, XnView on right)

I’ve tried changing some of the read settings, but nothing seems to make a difference.

I should add that the Tif file looks fine in Mac Preview, it just seems to be XnView.

Any advice much appreciated.

Settings > General > Color management -- Use ICC profile for monitor ?

Thanks! that seems to have done the trick for full screen, which is really what I need. I notice though it doesnt seem to have affected the thumbnails - it doesnt reallymmatter as long as the main photo is correct, which it now is.

Thank you again, very much appreciated.

Ah - managed to fix the thumbnails too by rebuilding the thumbnails.
