Color Profile in sRGB jpg output

Michael Heller
I'm struggling with getting a decent output for my jpg images. The colors are off compared to what I see in Capture One.

I'm editing a D810 NEF and when I export to a sRGB jpg it looks far more saturated in any color managed app.

I'm using an AdobeRGB capable monitor (BenQ SW2700), which has been profiled with a ColorMunki and DisplayCal

Here is the exported jpg: https://www.dropbox.com/s/84th0avfpp3bp ... w.jpg?dl=0

It doesn't match what I see in C1 though, here is a screen cap with both images showing.

Here is my recipe: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1a5d5n3wqn3ca ... e.jpg?dl=0

When I proof an image in C1 it looks fine on my screen. When I open the jpg, it doesn't. Confused.

    are you willing to share the RAW?

    I see the same with my BenQ SW271 Adobe RGB monitor. But the images are fine when I view them in a color managed viewer on the SW271 or when viewed on an sRGB monitor.

    The OP has the probable answer here, viewing sRGB images on his wide gammut monitor requires a colour managed application if garish inaccurate colours are to be avoided. Many Windows picture viewers and browsers lack colour management he is probably using one of these.

    I know it's a color management issue but I can't figure out if it can be fixed or not. I have determined that it is not a Capture One issue, as images exported from Lightroom or Photoshop are also affected.

    As far as I know, Chrome is color managed as is Irfanview. I also use Picasa, which has a very easy way to toggle color management on and off. If off, it looks saturated, if on it looks like Lightroom.

    So, can I just assume that Chrome and Irfan, despite claims that they are color managed, are in fact not? Or is there something wrong with my profiles? I'm just worried that I'm exporting files incorrectly and they won't look right on other systems.

    Here are 4 apps showing the same file. Lr and Picasa show it the same, Chrome and Irfan look more saturated.

    I suspect your profiles are OK. My Capture One jpegs display correctly in Adobe Bridge and Fast RawViewer, both color managed. Nothing else on my PC displays them correctly including Chrome. When I publish a web gallery I go to my wife's PC with an sRGB monitor to verify correct colors.

    That could be possible, though I'm trying to see if I can confirm that in any way.
