XnView Software

XnView: MP 1.8.8 - 64 bit
OS: Windows 11

Opening the attached image, the JXL image colors are incorrectly rendered.
This only happens with XnView in windows and does not happen with Krita or IrfanView.

Interestingly, it also doesn't happen with XnView Linux (1.8.8) installed from Flatpak.

Effect: The image has wrong colours. In this case the image looks a look darker.

To reproduce:
1. Open the attached image in Xnview windows
Actual behaviour (bug): colours are wrong

Expected behaviour: Correctly rendered image.

In the link:
- The original jpg image: IMG_20210811_144353.jpg
- The image in jxl format, converted using XnConvert: IMG_20210811_144353.jxl
- A screenshot side by side: Irfanview, XnView and the Original JPG


Since maximum attachment is 2MiB and it doesn't support jxl, here are the samples: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing

On checking, the Flatpak download at the moment is still 1.8.6...

As Pierre doesn't prepare that version, there is normally especially with the rate that new versions have been released recently at least some delay before a new Flathub version is available.

I've asked repeatably for that to be indicated on the XnView MP download page to avoid confusion, sadly to no avail so far...

Funny enough the flatpak states it is version 1.8.6 but in Help->About it states 1.8.8.

Still, in linux I don't have this "problem"
