It seems to be standard advice, when setting up colour management, to set the monitor to high contrast. When I do this, much of the text on my monitor is fuzzier and harder to read. Is this normal? (This is with the X Window System on an older LCD model, an NEC MultiSync LCD 1850E.)
Another thing I've never understood is why, with colour management turned off, graphics have been looking quite different in Gimp 2.2 as compared with Scribus 1.3. For example, I have some TIFF files with a red that shows very bright in Gimp but considerably darker in Scribus. I'm *guessing* that Gimp and Scribus have been implicitly defaulting to quite different colour profiles, but I don't even know whether that's a sensible way of phrasing it. I've got the vague idea that most software assumes the monitor profile would be some flavour of sRGB, with *which* flavour being application dependent. If I knew what Scribus assumes, then I'd know how to choose a "no-op" monitor profile matching the default assumption. The colour management stuff has got me pretty confused, so maybe I missed something in the Scribus documentation? Best regards, John (MacPhail)
