I'm asking because last year, about same time [1], you wrote: > Well, choosing a working profile other than sRGB is totally unsupported > and will definitely lead to bad results. I would call it useful partial support of color management if i can open an AdobeRGB file and apply, say, curves and gaussian blur and save the file with the color profile. In any case, the displayed image is correct and matches the saved image. In contrast, the color selectors might be displaying wrong colors and pasting might auto-assign a wrong profile to new bitmaps. The layer modes and color tools like Hue-Saturation change their characteristics slightly according to the working space, but that's unavoidable with 8-bit processing anyway. This is my understanding of the current state of color management. If something qualitatively different is happening, can you please give an example of how results might get deteriorated? regards, yahvuu [1] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/lists/gimp-developer/2009-February/021598.html _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
