However, I thought I ought to ask here whether there is any danger in Qimage picking up this ProPhoto profile and as to what it does when it finds it. I'm probably OK, but always keen to avoid wasting time and paper.
Hi Tony,
Basically, Qimage can do whatever you wish with regard to opening an image in the color space of your choice.
In answer to your question, Qimage checks for an embedded profile (which it denotes by applying an asterisk before and after the color space it shows you in the hotbar, and uses that first.
No embedded profile, then it honors the tag (if there is one applied to the image, and Honor Tag is activated in Qimage).
If neither of those, then Qimage will apply whatever you set in Color Management Preferences as apply to unknown images. This is usually defaulted to sRGB
Lastly, you can use CONVERT image and check Profile to Profile conversion to embed any color space you want; or in the batch screen, you can use Override ICC and it will apply as a filter and not embed.
Many options!!
Say Hi to the Queen.
