Hi, Two more things you can do to verify everything is OK: - run darktable-cmstest; if it reports "Your system seems to be correctly configured" on the last line, you should be OK (it'll also output the path of the profile in use, check that, too, so you don't end up using some generic profile); if it reports "Better check your system setup - some monitors reported different profiles You may experience inconsistent color rendition between color managed applications", it's time to investigate further
- you can also use the command dispwin -V path/to/your/profile.icc to check if it's loaded; I previously had some cases where the colour management settings did not work for some reason. If it outputs "Verify: 'path/to/your/profile.icc' IS loaded (discrepancy 0.0%)", everything is OK. If not, you can force loading of the profile with dispwin -V path/to/your/profile.icc. To switch between profiled and non-profiled mode, you can use dispwin -U (unload) Kofa On 22 April 2017 at 16:02, Koos Pol <darkta...@pohw.nl> wrote: > Excellent.
