Hi @steven.lutz,
Is the comparison image (the one in the middle) being viewed in Photoshop or another editing application?
Gigapixel is designed to display the color information of your image based on your monitor’s capabilities.
If your image uses a color profile that exceeds your monitor’s color gamut, the preview may show inaccurate colors. However, this does not affect the actual colors in your exported file from Gigapixel.
Thanks for the response!
I’ve been using Gigapixel for just over two years, and this has never happened before with any image/color profile. Just started 2 days ago after update.
That photo is a screenshot with the center image added in Photoshop from an earlier scan for comparison.
BTW I use 2 Dell U2722DE (DP)
You bet!
The main reason colors can sometimes look different between PS and Gigapixel can roughly be explained as follows:
- The image has more colors than the monitor can actually display.
- In some of these situations, Photoshop tries to adjust the colors to make them look more accurate on the screen, without changing the actual color info in the file.
- Gigapixel, on the other hand, crams the color information through your monitor as-is. So, you get to see whatever fits, without any special tweaks. The color information is retained as it should be, it just doesn’t look that way through the preview in some situations.
It sounds like that’s what has happened in your case. It’s a pretty common thing to trip over. If you have additional questions or concerns, feel free to reach us at help@topazlabs.com.
P.S. Photoshop isn’t the only application that does this.

I’m sorry, I failed to mention that I have worked with that same image before as well without issue - but I am doing some investigating myself, I’ll get back to you 
I had turned off enable sRGB preview fallback!
Which makes me wonder how the MONITORS color space got screwed.
Well, at least we know now.
