Does XnView have any limitation to preview images with color spaces ProPhoto or Adobe RGB?

Post by cadu »

Hi,

I'm using XnView 0.86.
All images saved through Adobe Camera Raw (ACR/Photoshop) having color spaces ProPhoto or Adobe RGB aren't preview with fidelity by Xnview.
When I save image with color space sRGB, XnView preview presents fidelity.
I recorded my screen showing the issue: https://goo.gl/2WWymL
Then I'm wondering if XnView can handle just sRGB color space, and if XnView has any limitation to preview images with color spaces ProPhoto or Adobe RGB.
Does anyone know anything on this matter?

Thanks for info!

I just hit this issue about ProPhoto today. There are a source jpg file and a ProPhoto one in the attachment.

Thanks.

p.s., Photoshop reads both jpg files okay.

Okay. It ends up like I have to tick the following setting (which is non-default)

Settings > General > Apply ICC profile to the monitor (or something like this)

Now, it looks well :D
