I'm using Windows 11 with a hardware-calibrated EIZO CG2730 monitor.
I have enabled in the (Windows-) Settings > Display > Advanced Display menu the option "Automatically manage color for apps".
This feature enables non-color managed apps to show the correct colors, such as the Desktop Icons, even when I set the monitor
to a color space like AdobeRGB.
A detailed description of this feature can be found here
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/auto-color-managementWhen the "Automatically manage color for apps" feature is enabled, the colors in the Qimage UI are wrong. Looks like every
file is treated as a sRGB file (see the MS blog).
To get Qimage working with correct Colors, I need to enable the Compatibility Mode "Use legacy Display ICC Color Management" for Qimage.exe as
described here
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/wcs/advanced-color-icc-profilesIn this case, for the Monitor Profile, you must select the "Emulated Color Profile" (which is marked as the Windows Monitor Profile).
It seems to me that Qimage is not fully supporting Windows Auto Color Management as introduced by Windows in 2022. Is that correct?
Is there any plan to update Qimage to work with this “Automatically manage color for apps” (for displays) feature without this work-around?
