artofmtl Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Hi everyone, I install Affinity Photo for Windows and it went like a charm. With both of my cameras I shoot with Adobe RGB and my monitor is sRGB. I was looking at the Preferences and for the Color Profiles for RGB I have by default RGB Color Profile sRGB IEC61966-2.1 and for 32bit RGB Color Profile I have sRGB IEC61966-2.1 (linear). In the list box I can choose Adobe RGB (1998) and Adobe RGB (1998) (Linear). I can also choose the Profiles that I created when I calibrated my monitor which are U2415_D65_100_8-Oct-2016.icm and U2415_D65_100_8-Oct-2016.icm (Linear). With your experience should I choose the Adobe or should I use the profiles from the calibration. Thank you Jacques Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I you shoot Adobe RGB JPEGs choose Adobe RGB for working profile. Your monitor has calibrated/profiled Dell profile which works in system level and there is no need to assign it in app level. (Or so I suppose this goes in windows side too.) sRGB when talking about your monitor means just the colour gamut your monitor is capable of, not actual profile. artofmtl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say choose Adobe RGB do you mean in the Preferences and in the Output profil when I work in the Develop Persona for my Raw files.

Fixx Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 In the Preferences. Output profile in Develop should follow the same general working profile settings, but you can override it there if you have specific need to some other profile. artofmtl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
