Monitor profiles in XnView

Post by beiti »

In "Tools > Options > General > ICC" there is a field under the "Use ICC Embedded Profile.." line. This is the place where the ICC monitor profile needs to be entered to make the monitor color management of XnView work. It took me many Google searches and experiments to find this out.

I propose to label this field correctly as "Monitor ICC profile" in future versions of XnView.
This would make it much easier to set up XnViews color management.

Maybe there could even be the option for XnView to get the current monitor ICC profile automatically from the operating system, like Photoshop and other professional applications do?

Use ICC Embedded Profile (JPEG/TIFF) - Very slow


Why does the file dialog only has "ICM" file type listed in its dropdown menu? Why not "ICC" too? NEC SpectraView gives me ICC files.


Also the current ICC dialog is not idiotproof enough IMO. Where do I need to put my monitor profile into? First or second entry field?
