Incorrect Colours & ICC Profiles

Post by HarvsPhotos »

XnView Classic V2.51.5

I apologise if this is covered elsewhere on the forum but I have searched and cannot find an answer.

I find that images viewed in XnView are over saturated and have a red hue. I am working in a colour managed environment and have a reasonable understanding of ICC profiles & colour management but am unable to configure XnView Classic to render JPGs correctly.

An image exported as a JPG from Lightroom with an embedded profile, either sRGB or AdobeRGB produces the same incorrect result.
The same image viewed in Photoshop, Affinity Photo or even the Windows Photos app render the image correctly and match the Lightroom original.

I can confirm that the images have an embedded profile as (reported by Photoshop) and that I have configued the ICC setttings in XnView to use the embedded profiles if present.

Viewing the sRGB & AdobeRGB versions of the image in XnView shows identical colours for both, thus proving XnView is using the embedded colour profile, but the final result is wrong.

I attach a screenshot showing the same JPG viewed in 4 applications, the bottom left is the incorrect XnView
I also attach my ICC settings in XnView.

Any help would be appreciated.

Has nobody else seen the same issue or have a solution to what I'm seeing? :(

I wonder of XnViewMP behaves the same way.

Had a go with XnView MP and that is working correctly so will switch to that.
