Color calibration mismatch
Viewsonic led monitor on an nVidea 750Ti card with Win 10
Try as I might I can not get a decent desktop color adjustment that also work well with my photo software. The images below show this. The differences here don't seem that big but the screen capture is responsible for that. In real life the lighter one is clearly too contrasty and the Lightroom image and indeed the program itself is clearly too dark.
.
I have used Color Munki Smile to calibrate the monitor which is fine for Lightroom but hopeless for the desktop. I have fiddled with the nVidea control panel settings too.
Lightroom and Photoshop need to show accurate gamma and color for my work of course but then the desktop apps like Explorer and browsers look awful. The software is always set to ProPhoto RGB and in the past was no problem. Something has changed and I don't know what.
There doesn't appear to be a ProPhoto RGB profile available in my Win 10 Color Management settings, is this the problem? Where can I find it?
