Title: Two sRGB profiles showing up only in Qimage?
Post by: Mack on December 06, 2010, 09:52:30 PM
I'm seeing two sRGB profiles in the Preview Pane > Embedded Image Information part of Qimage Ultimate.  Thumbnail colors are definitely different too.

In Qimage's pop-up "Embedded Image Information" window, I see either of these two ICC Profiles: One is *sRGB* and the second is *sRGB IEC61966-2.1*  The *sRGB IEC61966-2.1* appears to be the correct one while the *sRGB* photo appears very red and grainy as a large preview thumbnail.

I do get the warning pop-up in Qimage when starting asking about using the either the Windows profile or the Qimage one.  If I say "YES" to the question (or "the recommended" one), then I see different color thumbnail images between the two sRGB profiles.

How am I seeing two different sRGB profiles even though the editing program (Paint Shop Pro X3) is the same editor?  The files are dumped from Nikon RAW (NEF) files through Adobe Lightroom 3 into TIFF files which I edit further with PSP X3.  In PSP X3, the images all appear normal sRGB 8-bit images and no color differences are seen, only in Qimage do I get these two different sRGB profiles and different color images too?

Thanks.
