[AP] exporting images - colour profile problem

[RosomakPL]

I do not know if it's a bug or I'm doing something wrong. In the program settings I have selected "RGB Color profiles". However, when I try to export images with the "use document profiles" setting, I get a completely different result than I see in the AP.

My settings:

first export settings:

second export settings:

Results:

 

the second version with the selected profile is close to what you can see on the screen in the AP

Hi @RosomakPL,

Can you attach the .afphoto file so we can have a look?

Thanks,

Gabe.

Here's the file. It is possible that I am doing something wrong, but I can not find the reason for this behaviour :-)

Hi Rosomak, the reason you're seeing a difference when you export with "Use document profile" is because your document's colour profile is Display P3—I'm guessing you shot this image with an iPhone or something similar that has a "wide colour gamut" feature?

When you look at an image with software that isn't colour managed, it will look incorrect. The reason your second image looks fine (where you've selected sRGB as the output profile) is because Photo has converted from Display P3 to sRGB upon export—sRGB is at least assumable and relatively "safe", even if the software has no concept of colour management.

The solution here is to simply convert to sRGB on export like you did with the second image. The colour settings in the Preferences menu you've shown won't apply if the image you're importing into Photo already has a colour profile (either tagged or embedded), hence why it's still Display P3.

Out of interest, what are you viewing the images in? If you bring the Display P3 exported image back into Photo, does it display correctly? (I hope so!)

I apologize for the long response time. I had a vacation and I was far from my desk :-). Thank you very much for help. I did not know what the problem is. I have not noticed that this option is set differently than it should. when I load the image into the AP everything is fine. Thank you again and best regards, affinity team !
