When I open CDPaint RGB White appears yellowish. However, when I open CDDraw RGB White is white and when I then select Edit Bitmap from Draw and CDPaint opens, now RGB White is true white.
I've selected RGB profiles for the default and document profiles. I've also selected the North American Prepress presets. I running Windows Vista with a high quality Samsung flat screen.
How can CDPaint White look yellowish when Paint is opened from the desktop but display as true white when opened from CDDraw? When the two instances of Paint are open side by side on the desktop and displaying the same image, the same colors display differently.
Hi Vic,
If you have CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X5, try to see if there are any differences in the Colour Management settings. If you open both programs side by side, try look in both programs Colour Management Default as well as document settings. Its located under Tools | Color Management >See if there are any odd color profiles being used for the screen.
I dont say this will solve it, but worth a first try in troubleshooting.Here is a link to screen shots of the settings on my blog (english language) http://stefanlindblad-english.blogspot.com/2010/11/coreldraw-graphics-suite.html
I have definately identified the Samsung monitor ICC color profile as the cause of the yellow tinted whites. I fixed the problem by deleting it from the system color management profile. Vista kept reloading it even though I had set the generic RGB profile as the default.
The interesting thing is that Paint displayed tinted whites but when Paint was launched from Draw, White was snow-white. This is true even when al three applications are side by side on the desktop. I have a good screen shot of this.
Thanks
