Images are over-saturated - how to fix it?

Post by laurent45654 »

I unfortunately don't know much about ICC profiles, pretty much nothing actually, but I can see that the images in XnView MP are over-saturated, and it's the only application that does this. In my browser, Preview app, etc. images are displayed correctly, while in XnView MP they are always oversaturated. Is there any way to get it to display images like other the apps?

I'm on macOS 15.4, on a MacBook Pro retina, using XnView MP 1.9.1

enable 'Use ICC profile for monitor' in Settings > Color management

Thank you, I checked this but what options should I select here? I tried tweaking a few parameters but I'm not seeing the image being changed. What would be the parameters to make it match the operating system?

Well actually it seems selecting "sRGB" and "System profile" fixes it. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
