) Unfortunately, very few applications support this format,
so if you need to routinely view these files (with the .hdp
filename extension), you may want to keep Windows Photo
Gallery intact for this purpose. Of course, you could always
manually edit the .hdp file type and add the
ShellImagePreview key to its ContextMenuHandlers key, allowing
you to freely disable Windows Photo Gallery for all other
formats. See Chapter 3 for details on the structure of file
types.

Ever notice that the colors in digital photos you view on your PC don??™t quite
match the real thing, or even the colors on the little screen on the back of
your digital camera? Or, have you noticed that the colors your printer
reproduces don??™t match those on your monitor?

This is a common problem, and one, unfortunately, without a clear-cut,
foolproof solution. The problem is that your monitor, printer, scanner, and
digital camera all handle color a little differently. It??™s up to you to calibrate
Windows so that all of these devices know what subtle adjustments they
need to make to preserve your colors without botching your photos too
badly.
Before you do anything, make sure your display adapter
(video card) is set to the highest color depth it supports.
Right-click an empty portion of the desktop, select Personalize,
and then click Display Settings. From the Colors dropdown
list, select Highest (32 bit).
