Yes, everything seems to be working fine.  Thank you.

I contacted Microsoft and asked them if anyone else has been having an issue with their Windows Viewer to view photos.  Microsoft remotely checked my computer and now I don't seem to be having an issue with dark colors. Not sure what he did but I think the problem is fixed because I am not having the same issue anymore.  Thanks for all your help.  I really appreciate it.  This is a wonderful forum!

Here is a screen shot.  Sorry about the big purple flower.  That is my dual monitor.

I haven't changed any settings in my camera.  I just change it in ACR.  For some reason I can't attach a screen shot.  It is set to sRGB for the color profile.  Thanks for your help.  I will read the troubleshooter to try and find out what is going on.

My color profile was sRGB. I also have it set to sRGB in camera raw so my pic will open in that color space.  When my pic came out looking dark I changed it to Adobe RGB to see if there would be any difference.  How do you convert the profile and not assign it? I didn't see that info on the troubleshooter.  Not sure if I am looking in the correct place.

That was an awesome article. Thank you so much it was very helpful. I tried using both sRGB and ADOBE RGB and the pic looked the same with a darker color.  Should the depth be 8 bits or 16?  I currently use 8 bits. Maybe I am not saving it correctly for output.   I currently use the following when saving as a jpeg:

Color:  ICC Profile - sRGB IEC61966-2.1

Image Options: 12 Maximum

Format Options: Baseline (Standard)

I recently started having a weird issue in Photoshop.  I will edit my photo in Photoshop and then after I save the Raw file to a jpeg the color seems to be darker when I view it on my PC.  Any suggestions?  I thought it might be a Windows Viewer issue but today I added a few photos to my website and the color was darker also. So now I am really confused.  Not sure if I accidentally changed something in my color space.
