Colormanagement CMS not working as expected

Post by marjue »

Hello

I've switched from Windows to Mac. On Windows I have used XnView MP too.
Now on MacOS I want to use XnView MP again but the colormanagement does not work as I expect and as known from the windows version.

I have three different colormanaged displays with three different activated profiled (BenQ SW271, BenQ P2700 and the internal Retina Display).
I thought XnView knows on which display it is running and is using the correct profile. But this does not happen. My testpictures (one in sRGB and one in aRGB) are equal in saturation. This is the case with CMS off or CMS on (userdefined profile left empty)

When I choose one of the three profiles and put it in the "userdefined" section of the CMS-Settings than the colormanagement is working but the colors will only be correct on of my three displays.

When I use the internal MacOS viewer or ApolloOne the pictures are displayed correctly.
Is this a bug or is XnViwe MP not able to autodetect the correct ICC-Profile?

XnView: 0.99.4
MacOS Monterey 12.01 on M1 MacBook Pro

Bye
