I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lb Cake Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 Thank you for the assistance folks. I figured it was something simple I was missing. I'm a bit embarrassed to say that I completely forgot about the "hamburger" menu. It's not all bad though, the embarrassment will keep me from forgetting again.

No need to be embarassed for their bad and inconsistent UI design! In some instances, you'll find the wheel in the menu: So why would anyone want to search for it in a sandwic… er, hamburger menu?!

Instead I focused exclusively on the thought that the options would be found within the Preferences. In hindsight it seems quite obvious that the user would change the behavior of the color panel via the color panel's hamburger menu. So while I do have my own issues (gimme undo and redo buttons please) with the UI, I don't consider this situation worthy of criticism. Quite the opposite actually.
