Color Management of PictView Plugin

Post by McLion »

Hi

Is the PictView plugin Color Managed? Does it read and respect the icm profile assigned to the display in the OS?

Thanks

While further testing I found that it is not color managed ... unfortunately :(
Are there any plans to change that?

Thanks

I'm missing it too. With wide-gamut LCDs it is very visible problem.

Unfortunately there no plan to support color management in near future, you are probably first user asking for it.

You're talking from my heart :wink:
I am using a wide-gamut monitor too since I am working a lot with pictures in Photoshop Lightroom.
I expect that more and more people are using wide-gamut monitors in the future as prices are dropping.
However, I always liked the PictView viewer to quickly go over some exports ... or what ever ... because it is very fast and handy to operate.
