Description DrSlony 2015-05-04 12:17:11 UTC 
There appears to be now way to adjust the monitor color profile's rendering intent when using Plasma 5. Oyranos and kolor-manager don't work in Plasma 5. colord when applied via command-line seems to have no effect. colord-kde doesn't appear anywhere after installation. I'm unaware of any other options.
This is a very serious issue for photographers, graphics editors and people for whom color accuracy and the need to change rendering intent is very important.

Reproducible: Always

As a workaround

 org.kde.kded /kded   org.kde.kded.loadModule kolorserver


then 

kcmshell4 kminfo

will open it.
Comment 2 DrSlony 2015-05-04 20:18:41 UTC 
Ah, thanks man!
Which program should I have installed to use that? colord, oyranos, kolor-manager, or other?

I confirm the bug.

I have been using for years kolor-manager package in opensuse kde 4 and it worked perfectly. I have calibrated my monitor with specific ICC profile created with X-Rite i1Pro 2 and kolor-manager load it at start of the system, apply corrections and it works without any incompatibility.

DispcalGUI does not work fine and has incompatibilities like whit redshift.

The colord-kde package is useless, in KDE 4 and KDE 5. Does not apply the icc color profile to calibrate monitor, when applied icc with corlod-kde does nothing and kolor-manager yes. The colord-kde package is useless.

I would like to have calibrated my monitor. If you are a photography professional you need it..

Thanks!

> The colord-kde package is useless

That should be reported separately to colord-kde developers. This ticket (and the workaround from comment #1) is for kolor-manager (Oyranos KDE addon).

Workaround: You can get Gwenview to use your monitor profile if you let Argyll's dispwin install it by setting the _ICC_PROFILE X11 atom, but it will use the perceptual rendering intent - bug 359909.

KolorManager 1.1.0 with KF5 support was released
Comment 9 DrSlony 2016-12-23 09:12:52 UTC 
For reference, not easy to find: https://github.com/KDE/kolor-manager/releases/tag/1.1.0
Seems Oyranos has also moved to from SourceForge to GitHub https://github.com/oyranos-cms/oyranos/releases
