XnView Software

I would like to add that the issue is not limited to images that have ICC embedded.

When color management is enabled and forced, meaning:
- Settings - General - ICC - Use ICC profile for monitor (slower) is checked
- RGB profile used when embedded profile doesn't exist - sRGB is selected ...

Hello bodayw,
I have not noticed anything until now, when working on non-ICC equipped images (e.g. from smartphone), with the settings you mention enabled. In fact, I only use XnView as photo editor for quick changes on those kind of photos, not to have embedded the monitor profile on output!

Which ...

Ok good to know, thanks. Let's hope for a quick correction, it should not be a deep change...

Good, thanks... as workaround, we may disable using the monitor profile temporarily, just before performing the Save operation (?) so to keep viewing the file with the correct colours!
But it is tedious to do this each time...

Yes I love XnView for its fullscreen view with customizable informations shown in the corner!
It also handles quite well the colour profiles of both files and monitors for loading the images (except for some out-of-camera JPEGs as reported in my other post).
I really hope that a correction for the ...

Currently, one has to switch to Navigator mode.

Hello

I noticed that when a photo which is ICC-tagged (meaning it has an "ICC profile" data structure in the metadata, for example Adobe RGB 1998) is edited in XNV and then exported with File > Save As, when in the Options window the option "Preserve ICC profile" is checked, something really ...

I suggest some other improvements concerning the color management (see first my previous post):


In Settings > General > ICC, the option "Use ICC profile for monitor" actually - as I found - does not only do what it tells: this uses the monitor profile for color compensation, AND reads any file ...

Hello to all

I really appreciate XnView, but I would like to point out one of its few weaknesses in my opinion of photographer, concerning the color management.

All the out-of-camera JPEG files (at least for my Olympus, Canon, Nikon models) don't include in the file an explicit "ICC profile" tag ...
