Yellow background in new images in Photoshop & Lightroom [Windows 11]

[Lobo1725]

I have just re-installed the Adobe Suite on a new PC and all new or imported images in Photoshop or downloaded camera images opened in Lightroom, have a yellow tint in the background. In the settings for creating a new image, it is set to transparent or white. I have been into the Windows Color Management utility and tried changing the color profile to no avail.

Videos opened in Premiere Pro, also recently reinstalled, are fine.

Any suggestions welcome!!!!

This is apparently a bug in Windows 11. It's been reported a number of times.

Some people solved it by turning off HDR in Windows color management, for others that didn't help.

There is apparently a real issue here, the Eizo website says there's a problem with loading the monitor profile correctly in Win 11, and they recommend staying on Windows 10 until this has been resolved.

Many thanks. Yes, I opted for Win 11 on the new PC….bugger! I’ll try your
suggestions and if no success, wait!

@D Fosse    Your reply made me go and take a look at the Eizo site. Thanks - that's another reason for me to hold off on Windows 11 for a while.

It was @jazz-y who pointed me to the Eizo site in another thread.

Eizo usually stay on top of things. They also reported the banding issue we saw in 10 bit displays in the first Windows 10 releases, and their information was very accurate. That issue was fixed by Microsoft pretty quickly.

But yes - I intend to stay on 10 for the foreseeable future.

I remember Windows Me, Windows Vista, Windows 8 and now we have Windows 11, thankfully Windows 10 will be supported until 2025

Thankyou everyone taking the trouble to comment. I slipped into this one
(buying Win 11) early after it’s release. I used to have a
hardware/software business and knew full well that MS gets us to debug
their beta versions! So usually I don’t buy till things have settled…I
guess I’ll have to sit this one out and find workarounds!!
Thanks all

The yellow tint is more likely due to a mismatch between the white point in the file's color profile and monitor color profie. There is currently a workaround to force the color profile of the monitor:

(I have a local version of windows, but I think everything is clear from the screenshots)

For reference:

Microsoft Windows 11 and EIZO Software Compatibility

"Due to a bug in the OS, it is not possible to get the ICC profile information even though the ICC profile has been correctly applied to the OS.
There is currently no solution within the software settings.
We highly recommend not using a PC installed with Microsoft Windows 11 for the time being."

After updating to win 11 color profiles seem to work strange

I also have this issue, unfortunately, I don't have the "turn off HDR" feature.

Sadly you'll either need to await a fix from Microsoft* or perhaps you can revert to W10 for now?

Microsoft confirms another Windows 11 issue, promises fix in a future release

hi I have found the fix that might work for you. https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/fix-for-white-color-in-yellow-photosh...

[D Fosse]

That's actually a different issue. That's a broken/defective monitor profile (in this case from Viewsonic), and deleting it substitutes the Windows default, which is sRGB IEC61966-2.1. The proper fix in this case is to use a calibrator to make a new custom profile (but using sRGB can work as a temporary solution).

What's discussed in this thread is a bug in Windows 11 that prevents applications from reading any monitor profile. Microsoft is aware of it and a fix is in the pipeline.

[Lobo1725]

Thank you to the Forum for all your advice. Nothing has worked so far so I'm going to contact MS and see if there's an ETA on the correction to W11. I'll keep you posted.
