Created attachment 168022 [details] Image comparing what gwenview shows to what it should be showing like rawtherapee
(In reply to Adolfo Rodrigues from comment #1) > Created attachment 168022 [details] > Image comparing what gwenview shows to what it should be showing like > rawtherapee I did some checks and the correct view seems to be that of GwenView: The PNG file contains only the gAMA chunk set to 2.2. In this case, according to the specifications (https://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-PNG-20031110/#11gAMA), you must use sRGB primaries with a gamma curve of 2.2. However, if you ignore curve and color management and set an sRGB color profile (if you open with GIMP it says in the title that it uses an sRGB profile for that image) or use a program that does not use color information, the displayed image will be more clear.

Created attachment 168464 [details] Another comparison
Comment on attachment 168464 [details] Another comparison gwenview is not showing the image correctly ! It is crushing blacks and i've seen it completely blow out whites.
Created attachment 168465 [details] gimp vs gwenview This is gimp correctly showing the image. and gwenview crushing the blacks.
I have my monitor calibrated via internal lut, no ICC, qwenview is definately crushing blacks.

(In reply to Adolfo Rodrigues from comment #7) > I have my monitor calibrated via internal lut, no ICC, qwenview is > definately crushing blacks. In latest image I added an sRGB profile to your PNG. Now all software (GIMP and GwenView) shows similar blacks. I wrote similar because in gimp it is necessary to set the color profile of the monitor, the rendering intent (perceptual) and the black point compensation (off). By doing this I got 1/255 difference on some blacks compared to GwenView (which I have no idea how and if it uses the monitor's color profile). That said, I can't tell you who is right about the accuracy of the scale: the problem seems to be in how the software treat the original PNG with the gamma info only. GIMP seems ignoring the gamma info and uses an sRGB profile. All this to say that, with that PNG, it still doesn't seem like a GwenView problem to me.
Created attachment 168501 [details] attachment-3025568-0.html Gwenview not showing the image correctly as one would expect could lead to erroneous monitor corrections. Gwenview should show the image exactly like any other image viewer , even a browser shows it correctly!! I just reported the situation that WILL at some point cause someone issues unnecessarily. Give a option , a disabled option, that makes Gwenview act like the others.

Created attachment 168502 [details] attachment-3027739-0.html Your image indeed fixed the disparity but like I said, this will lead to issues ! My mom would have never guessed.. so I still argue gwenview should act like the other software for sake of not having surprises. Like I said, make it a disabled option.
