--- Comment #14 from Tyson Tan <tyson...@mail.com> --- Hi Elle, MS and Adobe both supplies a sRGB V2 profile with their software. Adobe also provides a color profile download that includes sRGB and AdobeRGB profiles. Last time I checked, the said sRGB profiles was produced by ICC in the meta information. Ubuntu also has a similar sRGB profile to generate default ICC for everything. If you cannot find them, I can extract them later for you. I agree with your idea to make a new option that reads like “Workaround broken color management of some OS”, which is checked by default, does whatever necessary to make sure the exported picture shows correct color everywhere. As for the technical stuff... look at all those parties you’ve mentioned. Because of the horrible foundation they laid, everybody now has developed their own ways to coupe with the problem. You change one thing upstream, you break everybody downstream. I bet they’d rather remain the current state. Although I can understand everything in this conversation so far, I’m just a desperate artist who was forced to learn stuff that’s not in my legit territory. I’ll do whatever I can to help the research, but our research will take time. I understand the ideal solution indeed SHOULD be done by the upstreams, but in reality it probably won’t be there in a few years. Meanwhile, the artists use Krita probably have deadlines to beat and cannot wait that long. The cheapest workaround is simple: change the default value of “Embed sRGB profile” to UNCHECKED, and ideally add some explanation text below so people don’t try to be smart by checking it. We are already doing that for JPG, why not PNG too? I understand that as a developer, you want things to work according to the standard with a correct process. But in reality, people just want to see right color. It’s so frustrating seeing my own pictures displayed and printed with wrong color, probably losing potential clients as well. Although I know how to avoid it now, it still breaks my heart seeing fellow Krita artists unknowingly suffering the same. Please help them!
