Created attachment 127306 [details] You can see that the general settings are set to grayscale but the image is still displayed in the colorspace defined in the image properties. SUMMARY I wanted to set up a workflow to check my values during the painting process and found a neat trick on the internet. By setting up softproofing to display the image in grayscale one can easily switch between a grayscale version of the image and the normal version. At first I thought it wasn't possible since I didn't get it to work but I think I found the reason for that. The file related softproofing setting overwrites the general softproofing settings. It's not a huge problem but it is quite annoying to set this up everytime I start a new painting. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. change the softproofing colorspace to grayscale in the general settings (settings>configure krita>color management>softproofing). 2. save settings. 3. press ctrl+Y for softproofing. OBSERVED RESULT softproofing displays the standard colorspace defined in the image related settings (image>properties>softproofing). EXPECTED RESULT softproofing should display the colorspace defined in the general settings unless I specifically change it in the image related settings.

Maybe I got you wrong, but this is pretty much supposed to be like that, image settings would be pointless if they don't override global settings. The general settings even say "Note: these are the default settings for new images". Changing this won't change your current document, and it would definitely be wrong if it did while you have "store softproofing configuration in image" enabled (which is enabled in your screenshot, it's the default I think). The global settings are working just fine for new documents for me.
Yes, this works as expected. You can get the values workflow in Krita by adding a grayscale filter layer on top of your layer stack and toggle that.
