Ubuntu 21.10 The issue still remain. In colour setting window, the "remove" button is now disabled. There is what fixed the issue for me: Deny any access to any user to the folder contains the ICC files. $ sudo chmod 000 ~/.local/share/icc $ reboot Here is how a track down the ICC folder in use: 1. Install gnome-color-manager 2. Open colour settings. 3. Click the colour profile in use and click the "View profile" button. 4. Find the path to the ICC file. 5.

[Bug 938751] Re: Images are washed out or colors are skewed in some apps (particularly Image Viewer and Chrome)
Same here. Installed the Ubuntu-based Pop OS, used for a few days beside Windows 11 on the same dual-boot PC. It was OK, but a subjective feeling started to grow that the colours are not so nice as with Windows: a bit washed-out under Linux on my HP U32, otherwise fine display. Especially the human skin was lifeless, lacking red. The contrast also seemed to be worse, shadows a bit too gray. Then I noticed in Settings / Colour there is a profile called "Automatic - HP U32 4K HDR" is installed and selected. Clicked on "Add profile" added a plain "Standard Space - sRGB" - and display quality is fine now! Quite similar, perhaps the same as in Windows. Now it is easy to quickly compare the difference: switch between these colour profiles, open a photo in Image Viewer, and don't have to rely on memory of the same photo under Windows. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/938751 Title: Images are washed out or colors are skewed in some apps (particularly Image Viewer and Chrome) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/938751/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 938751] Re: Images are washed out or colors are skewed in some apps (particularly Image Viewer and Chrome)
same happened to me. I've never got to experience Linux in my whole life. my post is here if anyone interested- https://askubuntu.com/a/1301856/1162787 I install Linux/Ubuntu, looked at the colour, not satisfied, think I can accept and use, after a few days- I move to Windows again. Totally unacceptable colour of display. I just wanted a peaceful OS, not garbage like Windows but Samsung gave Proprietary motherboard software for display colours on laptop pcs. The only way is Intel HD Graphics Control Panel, I found after I change display colour profiles from "Samsung Settings" software, the HD Graphics Control Panel- Display values got changed. Thats good news, I can use those values and change in Linux. But the problem is I can't choose contrast, saturation in xrandr! I can't choose the exact value of "Brightness : -11(minus)", in linux xrandr (0.99? 0.991?) neither can increase contrast in xcalib. What can I do? I got no option. Summery: Some motherboard software changes HD Graphics Control Panel Display values, you can exactly use that info. But you can't convert them nor use them correctly in linux. there is no way! So low priority. Not a single software made to fix this. Nobody cares? Just buy a colourimeter hardware? If UI, Display experience is worse, no one comes to Linux just to have Privacy stuff. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/938751 Title: Images are washed out or colors are skewed in some apps (particularly Image Viewer and Chrome) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/938751/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 938751] Re: Images are washed out or colors are skewed in some apps (particularly Image Viewer and Chrome)
I remember having run firefox and chromium side-by-side once on the same website and noticed the colors were off. The colors on firefox's images matched eog and other local image viewers, while chromium's were skewed. I googled it once and found that setting chrome://flags/#force-color-profile (setting srgb) fixed the issues. This was in like 2019, the flag is not available anymore. Does that have anything to do with it? I believe the chromium change that removed this flag was on the basis of chromium now "properly" handling color profiles from the OS, so I wanted to bring it up. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/938751 Title: Images are washed out or colors are skewed in some apps (particularly Image Viewer and Chrome) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/eog/+bug/938751/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 938751] Re: Images are washed out or colors are skewed in some apps
Indeed, I have suspected for a long time that the color correction is being applied twice. So the final result looks wrong in such apps. If that's true then we would probably want either to: (a) Not tell apps about the color profile at all, because it's already applied full screen; or (b) Tell apps what (if any) profile is already applied full screen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/938751 Title: Images are washed out or colors are skewed in some apps To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/eog/+bug/938751/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 938751] Re: Images are washed out or colors are skewed in some apps
EOG also applies fullscreen profiles to image! Notice most of preinstalled color profiles in Settings->Devices->Color does not support whole screen correction (they are marked with bulb icon). So this is normal application behavior to apply system-wide color profile to image. But when fullscreen profile selected, it used firstly in EOG for certain image and secondly by the system for final correction. In my case screen has noticeable bluish cast, so ICC does significant color shift to compensate it. But when applied twice, it makes images yellowish in EOG. While Gimp and Shotwell display colors correctly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/938751 Title: Images are washed out or colors are skewed in some apps To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/eog/+bug/938751/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 938751] Re: Images are washed out or colors are skewed in some apps
In reply to comment #43: > For those saying that removing the ICC profile will fix the issue, what does this actually do? What am I losing by removing the ICC profile from my device? A colour profile tells the system (in great detail) how to modify all colours in an effort to make them appear more physically accurate, in theory. This is to compensate for measured inaccuracies in your monitor. If you generated the profile yourself using colourimeter equipment then by removing the profile you would lose colour accuracy across the rest of the desktop (but fix a small number of apps like Chrome and Image Viewer). If you didn't make the profile yourself and are just using the built-in one then you lose nothing by removing it. You will get the raw original colours from apps instead, and that avoids this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/938751 Title: Images are washed out or colors are skewed in some apps To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/eog/+bug/938751/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
