Hello everybody, I am a photography enthusiast and a software developer who happened to use use linux. I got a wide gamut display Dell U2410, which I've calibrated using Colormunki Photo spectrometer. Now here is my question. Last weekend I've spent a few hours at the London Depot Museum and took a few photos, those photos were taken using Canon 40D camera with AdobeRBG selected as a colour space. I brought those photos home, picked a random jpg photo I've noticed something weird. I've opened a GIMP, with the following settings on the colour management tab: [image: Inline images 1] I would expect my image to show natural colours with this settings, as picture was taken in AdobeRGB colour space, though colours where not-natural looking (nothing in shadows, over saturated highlights). When I chose none or sRGB as RBG profile, I still get non-natural looking colours, but just darker, less saturated (expected). The fun part starts, when I select my monitor profile as RGB Profile. Suddenly image looks exactly as I expected it to look! No over saturated highlights and all details in shadows visible). This is a kind of surprise to me. I thought RBG Profile (as working profile) should be selected as AdobeRGB/sRGB depending on how image was taken. Then GIMP would convert those to the right monitor profile to display. The second interesting notice is - when I assign an AdobeRGB profile, I should see correct colours, but I don't. I see right colours only if I open the file with monitor's profile as a working space and then convert it to AdobeRGB / sRGB. I am sorry for a lengthy (and maybe a bit chaotic) description of my problem -- I want to find out what I am doing wrong and / or where my understanding is wrong. Many thanks in advance for any constructive feedback! Marek -- http://marek.matulka.net/
