Window 7 Photo Viewer shows pictures with orange and yellow tint

Problem: While previewing a picture using the Windows Photo Viewer it has an orange/yellow tint to it and because of this one cannot actually see what the colors of the picture are. The picture is displayed with its normal colors while opening the picture in another program such as Photoshop or Gimp. Any other colors displayed on the screen also looks normal.

Solution:
Method 1.
a. Go to Control Panel then Hardware and Sound then Color Management.
b. Select your display device.
c. Check the box “Use my setting for this device”.
d. Click Add.
e. Choose “sRGB IEC61966-2.1”
f. Set it as default.
If the issue still persists, go to Method  2.


Method 2.
a. Go to your desktop and right-click.
b. Select Personalize.
c. Select Display Settings.
d. Click on the Advanced Settings button.
e. Click on the Color Management Tab.
f. Click on the Color Management button.
g. Select your Display in the Device drop-down list.
