Thanks. Definitely a better bug report than I could have managed.On Thursday 30 October 2008 10:21:28 Adrian Mariano wrote:In my case I believe that I ran 'dispwin profile.icc' without the -I option. Does this load the profile or does it only load the calibration contained in the profile? I think that you have to restart firefox to get changes in the profile to be recognized. I have the color management extension installed in firefox and there is a box where I can specify the profile filename; when I specified the color swapped profile and then restarted firefox I did observe the swapped colors used in firefox. (In fact, they were used throughout the application, for menus, backgrounds, etc., so the change was very obvious.) But if it's not honoring the properly installed profile perhaps we need to submit a bug report.Done see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462398
Does that mean that if I install a calibration xv will not use it? (In my case the images were clearly changing as I changed calibrations.) I have an NVIDIA graphics card. I suppose I should work harder to find a replacement for xv. (I've partly replaced it with showimg, which appears to be unmaintained, with the last release 3 years ago...and sometimes it crashes....and who knows how it handles color.)I was displaying my images with xv which I'd be willing to bet does not do color management.There was a fairly long thread about this on the xorg list about 8 months ago. For most X11 video drivers xv ignores all of this stuff including the video card LUTs. You should avoid using xv if colors matter to you. The only exception may be the newer Intel drivers.
