Color Management , what I have done wrong
I am new to this forum but I have been using C1 for over 1 year from V4 to V5.
One question that puzzles me is the Color Management. I am running on XP SP3.
I have my monitor calibrated by Huey so I have a custom display profile,say Huey.
My main output is for web display so I have both the output ICC profile and proof profile set to sRGB. But I find the colors of jpegs generated by C1 are always off than the color they look in C1.
Only in one occasion when I opened the jpeg in GIMP did I realize that the jpeg generated by C1 has Huey profile (the Windows Display profile) embedded. GIMP prompted me whether I want a conversion from profile Huey to sRGB. After I take that conversion, then color of the jpeg looks the same as those in C1. The jpeg is then truly in sRGB and looks the way I want in other people's computer display.
Now my workflow always involves output to GIMP, has the conversion in GIMP and then save it.
Is it the way how C1 was designed or did I set something wrong in my workflow?

Three tips:
1. Set your proof profile in CO5 to "Selected Output Profile (Default)"
2. View your output (your JPEG file) with a proper color managed program
3. Check that your output does use the sRGB color space
Regarding the second and third tip, consider using Capture One as your image viewer. In the Meta Data tool you can check the color space as well.0
