GIMP Version: 2.8.14
Operating System: Windows
OS Version: 7
GIMP Experience: New User



Hello,

All my images are using the colour space Adobe RGB 1998.
I work my images with Gimp, I did a fresh reinstall of Windows 7 last week and since then I can't get the same result on Firefox or Chrome of the images I upload. I loose colours or the Adobe RGB 1998 space colours. When I open the jpg image with Gimp colours are fine.

So I would like to know if it's my installation of Windows 7 which prevents me from seeing the Adobe RGB 1998 colours or if Gimp does not save correctly the images.

How to check if Windows 7 and Firefox or Chrome can display Adobe RGB 1998 images ?

I attached a file to the left what I see with Gimp, to the right what I see with the image opened with Firefox or Chrome.

Thanks,
Vincent.

ok, sorry guys, it's not about Gimp it's about Windows 7.

I reinstalled Windows 7 it's because I changed my disk to a SSD one.

I have put back my old hard disk, to see if I can get the right colours and the colours are the same on Firefox and on Gimp. So the problem comes from my new installation of Windows 7 on the SSD disk.

Does anyone know what I should do on this new installation or what I could recover from the last installation ?

When you assign a colour profile in Gimp, Image | Mode | Assign Colour Profile, it will be saved on export.
Are you using, Color Management with GIMP and your new computer setup?

Odinbc,

I am using the Gimp gimp separate+ plugin to convert and to assign to Adobe RGB 1998 colour space. It' my new Windows 7 computer setup which does not open correctly this colour space.

I don't know what to do on Windows 7 to be able to open correctly this colour space. I installed all the drivers, and there were a lot, it's Sony Vaio laptop (SVS1311C5E).

You have to set up color management on your new system.
