Thanks! But I have my system set up so that everything is going through the color profile, system-wide. I feel like this is likely user error but I can’t figure out how! The whole reason I use monitor-based correction rather than per-program color management is to avoid this kind of thing, yet here I am again. Are they all inventing their own gamma curves and profiles? What the heck is going on here? I read some years ago about Firefox using a slightly unusual but arguably good alternative sRGB profile… but this dramatic difference among apps is alarming. (Feh window is overlapping the gwenview window.) (Note: you can ignore the halo around the edge of the overlapping window border: that’s obviously just window manager decoration.) Here’s a screenshot of feh vs gwenview to illustrate. Geeqie and gwenview look the same as each other (bad): much brighter image, and with a noticeable color shift. Gimp and feh look the same, and what I’m considering/wanting to be “correct”.įirefox shows the image as brighter, especially in the low ranges. one program using a certain rendering pipeline vs another not, etc.) ?
Gamma control in gimp driver#
So it seems like it isn’t caused by monitor profiles or nvidia driver issues (e.g. But I don’t think that’s it: setting them all to default profiles, or playing with the gamma slider through the nvidia X server settings, whatever I do affects the monitors, of course, but the differences between the image viewers remains the same. Having dealt with this kind of thing before, my first thought was that it was a color calibration thing: I use custom calibration profiles I generated for my monitors.

Gimp has no color management enabled, and the image itself is using no embedded/assigned profiles, etc.
Gamma control in gimp software#
The resulting image looks different depending on the software I use to view it. I finished work on a photo in GIMP, and exported to PNG. I’m on Kubuntu 18.10, with an Nvidia graphics card.
