Hi,
I am having a HARD time to get GIMP work with color management. My GIMP receives the output from RAW images processed by RawTherapee and Darktable. I actually have two problems mixed: monitor color management and output ICC_Profile in exif. (Everything I use is set to relative colorimetric).
They reduce to the following: each different program that I use to view my images (GIMP, RawTherapee, Darktable, gqview, firefox and chrome) on the same monitor renders the GIMP saved images differently from the others (I see this clearly). The ONLY way that I see a consistent output is when I tell GIMP to NOT to use monitor profile and NOT to save color profile to the images (i.e., no ICC_Profile in EXIF). In this situation, everything looks the same. In this case, all programs choose sRGB that seems to be consistent.
I even have problems in GIMP itself: The image that I see in GIMP right before saving is not the same shown in firefox after saving (unless I go with the double NOT above).
A bit of my settings:
Monitor profile: I use an old DELL 2209WA monitor that works pretty well. According to darktable-cmstest, the system has the correct monitor profile configured. If I set "Color-managed display" in Preferences > Color Management, GIMP shows me the DELL 2209WA profile.
Color space: I have GIMP configured to Convert Images to Built-in sRGB in Preferences > Image import/export.
What am I doing wrong? Which is the correct way of setting GIMP (and RawTherapee) to have a consistent output in firefox/chrome/gqview/other viewers?
I'm new to the forum, sorry if this is not the correct place for my question.
Thanks!
