Gamma 2.2 profile cannot be previewed in Photoshop #7

Open j7nj7n opened 5 months ago

j7nj7n commented 5 months ago

A notice to users of sRGB gamma 2.2 profile. Its effects cannot be previewed in real-time in Photoshop (at least older versions) while the true sRGB profile is active for the output because they are considered the same by the system. Committing with "Convert to Profile" results in the expected brightness change. The peculiarity happens with gammas approximately in range of 2.1 .. 2.29. There is also no warning when opening a file with an embedded ICC if this kind. Perhaps this is a workaround for alternate sRGB profiles like Epson and such.

They refused to acknowledge the behavior.

I've managed to find a workaround for this bug:

When creating the sRGB 2.2 Gamma profile for Embedding, adjust one of the primaries a miniscule amount that is not noticable.
