Bug ID: 436526
Summary: Potential Serious Error in Colour management settings
Product: digikam
Version: 7.2.0
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: ColorManagement
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: ipdouglas2...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
The Colour (color) Management settings in Digikam correctly allow the editor to
permit a number of 'standard' settings. e.g. sRGB or AdobeRGB or ProPhotoRGB.
This is correct. However the monitor profile should be set to whatever the
Windows System is using (which for keen photographers is likely to be a custom
profile set following profiling with a device). The setting for the monitor
appears to only allow similar settings to the editor but this is incorrect.
The monitor should be set the the Windows system profile whatever that is.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Go to Digikam 7.2.0 settings 'colour management' to view.
OBSERVED RESULT
Unlikely that immediately observed results would be obvious but this prevents
keen photographers from adopting Digikam as a serious editor and likley would
lead to it being 'hammered' in any technical review online or in a magazine if
I am correct in my affirmation.
EXPECTED RESULT
The fix would be industry standard consistent colour management and accurate
colours between profiled and managed devices.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: Pro 64 latest version as of day reported
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It is not impossible that I am wrong but I think I am correct here and hope I
am as I feel Digikam is a fabulous piece of software with (unusually for Linux
developers lol) has a great UI. Apologies if I am incorrect and I have wasted
time.
