Hello,
How is JRiver color-managed on macOS (15.2) when in Standard View, viewing album covers?
I ask since, switching back and forth from my study (where JRiver is running under Windows) and a rec room (with JRiver on a mac mini), I kept thinking that the albums covers all seemed less "punchy" on the mac. I took a screenshot, with Preview showing the cover for the recent Vivaldi x2^2 on the left (directly from the image file that was used to set the cover art) and JRiver 33.0.61 showing the same cover on the right. The reds are indeed slightly different (using a color picker in Adobe to sample a point on the same car in both views). (My impression, perhaps incorrect, is that everything on macOS these days gets color managed, so a starting assumption is that Preview's presentation is "correct".)
I was going to note that the JRiver installation on the mac is connecting as a client to the Windows box. Repeating that same setup on a Windows laptop, though, I noticed that the same phenomenon seems to be occurring -- a color-managed image viewer is showing album art files with more saturation of colors than JRiver is.
So, perhaps the library-client configuration somehow ends up affecting album art presentation (for both mac and windows clients)? Has anyone else noticed something similar?
Thanks!
