I clearly don't master color management... I hope some of you can enlighten
me.
I have an ICC profile for my monitor, created with a Pantone Huey Pro.
Actually I have one for each monitor, and darktable picks the correct one
depending on which monitor it's on.
Main screen:
[color profile] we got a new screen profile from the _ICC_PROFILE (size:
18660)
Secondary screen:
[color profile] colord gave us a new screen profile:
'/home/julian/.local/share/icc/GCM - Hewlett Packard - HP 2311x -
3CQ21701N9 (2013-04-04) [15-31-56].icc' (size: 18648)
So far so good. I know my monitors are kind of crappy ones, and that the
calibrator is not a spectrophotometer. Anyway, both monitors have a
diferent tint when no ICC profile is applied (gnome colord), and darktable
look the same on both when they are applied.
I've sent some pictures to print (3 different online shops), and they
resulted quite darker than what I see on screen. A lot of dark zones detail
is lost. All 3 with very similar results. Also, the exported jpgs are
darker that what I see on darktable, when I see them in the the browser
(Google Chrome). The profile I use when exporting is sRGB perceptual.
Now, playing with the Output Color Profile module... I see that the screen
profile is set to "system profile". If I change it to sRGB, the image I see
(darkroom) looks exactly the same as the exported JPGs. I'm not sure what
I'm changing here... Is the monitor ICC profile ignored if I change this?
I'm just confused on what's the good output... what profiles should I use
in the color output profile... how to make my prints look more similar to
how I see them.
Julian.
