Color Management

Post by jlis » Mon May 09, 2016 10:15 pm

I love this program and how it can work with .psd files but it would be nice if there was support for managing color profiles.

It seems that Paintstorm defaults to using the monitor profile? When I open a file created in Paintstorm over in PS I have to assign my monitor profile to the image in order to get the correct colors to display.

It is a minor workaround but it would be nice if Paintstorm handled this explicitly or gave us an option to choose the color profile to use.

Do you want to draw in Adobe RGB? Color profiles requires for RAW photos witch includes more colors that sRGB monitor can show but can be visible at printed photo.

Yes, Adobe or Prophoto RGB would be nice to use while painting. CMYK profiles are also useful for print proofing as well.

Understood, IS there a way to save files with profile? Or I must do with another application?

if you open a file created in photoshop with special color profile - it will be saved by Paintstorm, but Paintstorm shows it in an OS profile.

I would like to be able to set document color profile when it is created, it's way too much of a pain to create the file first.

The display color profile and document color profile aren't always the same for various reasons.
