Hello every One,

Is there a reason for Color Editor tool, not to work when I use for exemple SRGb or Adobe RGB 98 as base characteristic ICC profile?
The tool work with all the profile that are not in "other".

Thanks in advance for the help.

  Base characteristic ICC profile is the input profile, and has to be a profile that defines the (very large) color space of your camera.
  Adobe rgb or Srgb are working/output color spaces, meant to match and standardize the range of colors that e.g. printers and monitors can display (although a proper profile for an individual printer with paper or monitor will only be achieved by profiling).
  Choosing Adobe rgb or Srgb as input profile in the base characteristics will only make sense, when the file is not a raw file, but a tiff or jpeg, in which case the color editor will not work of course.

  Thanks Chris for the answer.
  I know about color space size, I was just wondering why color editor doesn't allow you to edit the picture in those profiles...
  Still Thanks for your time.

  Hmm... When I'm use Adobe RGB or sRGB as base characteristic ICC profile, Color Editor works fine. By the way it makes sense when you want to make the curves work like in Photoshop, because ICC profile obviously has an effect on the last stage of correction as well as the color editor, and this is pretty strange. For example, if you create your own ICC profile (color editor can do it), which removes the yellow color from the image, then no other tool can add it back. Even if you completely put down the blue curve, the image will become almost desaturated or red-green, but yellow will not appear. It's very strange, I think
