Description Manga Tengu 2019-05-04 21:42:00 UTC

As discussed with Wolthera, the following option may need to be hidden on new macbooks:
Color Management > Display > Use system monitor profile.

After switching all the color space options to display P3 and seeing no change, I just unchecked this box and the oversaturation is gone.

Comment 1 wolthera 2019-05-04 21:48:01 UTC

Mangatengu's issue was...

Images made in Krita look desaturated outside of Krita.
Her display is DCI-P3 as all modern mac books, but configuring it as such was difficult because the 'use system monitor profile' actually worked against it, making Krita think it was sRGB.

So what needs to be done is...

1. Figure out whether this option does anything at all on Mac, or is it only there for colord linux integration?
2. Is it having similar problems on windows?
3. Should we then hide it? Or should we clarify it?

I think this is definitely a usability speed bump.

I will check how it work on macOS, but we will need someone to check no Windows

Disable System Monitor Profile on non KisColorManager enabled platforms

On macOS having this checkbox "on" creates color differences between krita and the OS
