Bug 416918

SUMMARY

In Colour Management -> General, there's a setting to select the default colour model for new images. The standard Krita default appears to be "RGB/Alpha (8-bit integer/channel)". If you set this to, for example, "RGB/Alpha (16-bit float/channel)", this should be the new default for all new images. However, the setting appears to be ignored.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set the default colour model to anything other than "RGB/Alpha (8-bit integer/channel)"
2. Save settings
3. Create a new image
4. Observe that the colour model is still set to "RGB/Alpha (8-bit integer/channel)"

OBSERVED RESULT

Here's a video that shows me selecting a 16-bit floating point colour model, and a linear display profile. Note that the display profile *is* respected, but the colour model isn't:

EXPECTED RESULT

New images should have the correct colour model.
