Title: JRVR Color Management
Post by: Paul Coddington on October 29, 2022, 11:39:02 pm

In the JRVR options panel:

"The screen gamut specifies the colors your display expects to receive. Auto (BT.709) is the right choice for most displays, unless your display is specifically in an image mode where it expects a wide gamut"

So, does this mean Auto is hard-coded to always output BT.709 regardless of the "use system-wide ICC profile (if available)" setting?

The way these two settings are presented seems contradictory and unclear, as they seem to be mutually incompatible settings that can both be set at the same time.

"Auto" should always be using the system ICC profile for the monitor, not defaulting to BT.709.

I would recommend to actually give it a go. :)

The options are written to encoruage people to actually put in valid information. A ICC profile might not be available, so a user of a wide-gamut screen telling us so is always beneficial.

If you do have a valid ICC profile, and have it loaded into the OS, then it will be analyzed and any relevant values determined from the profile instead.
