What version of darktable did you use? Windows 7 has some known issues with the type of ICC profiles that darktable used to generate. That was the case till some two weeks ago or so. With a darktable version from current git master the problem should be gone, as we take extra care to make our internal profiles more compatible with Windows 7.
If you work with darktable 1.0.5 or earlier, here is a work-around: Find an external sRGB.icc or sRGB.icm from some other program on your system and copy this file into directory "$HOME/.config/darktable/color/out". When doing exports, select output profile "sRGB" instead of "sRGB (web-safe)". Ulrich Am 28.10.2012 17:24, schrieb Colin Burton: > Hi all, I recently edited and sent my family some photos.
