Just tested with beta 4, and happy to report everything seems working well. Thank you!

It's like that in 1.5.0 beta 1, the saved image keep original image data. you are on Windows? How to reproduce?


I had a more careful look and now I can confirm that it does keep the original image data, however, seems like there is a caching bug which confused me into thinking the issue is ...

Here's a screenshot of that dialog on my wife's Mac. There's no option "System" that could be selected. To turn on proper color management, users must know the full path of their monitor's ICC file, navigate to it, and select it, which is cumbersome, error-prone, and not user-friendly. I had ...

Even quickly cropping and re-saving a picture from Google, if I check "use monitor profile" in the ...

Which kind of "color shift" do you refer to? The internal conversion of the colors to the monitor profile (used as working color space), as described by pat56?


Yes, by "color shift" I just meant the conversion from source image color space -> monitor color space, which depends on the monitor ...

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:
