An interesting observation:
If I process a photograph to use as desktop wallpaper in Photoshop CS3, with
full color management, when I display that image on the desktop as wallpaper
in Vista the image is washed out and does not retain the characteristics of
the finished image when viewed in Photoshop.
In fact, if you manually size the Photoshop desktop and compare it to the
the underlying Vista wallpaper image the differences are startling.
That same image viewed as desktop wallpaper under XP retains all the
characteristics of the image the same as when viewed in Photoshop.
That this is a problem in Vista is, to me, confirmed by the fact that the
image was processed in Photoshop CS3 running under Vista.
This indicates very serious problems with either the way Vista, the NVidia
video driver, or both address image attributes outside of a program like
Photoshop which on its own strictly controls these issues.
So Vista, despite the promise of Direct X 10 so far is useless for high end
gaming, useless for high end graphics work and unstable with many high end
multimedia applications.
I really want to like Vista but what is it good for?
