Bug ID: 511092
Summary: System display color profile is not used correctly
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version First 8.8.0
Reported In:
Platform: Manjaro
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: ColorManagement-Profiles
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
In version 8.8.0 digiKam don't actually use my system color profile (I use
X11). In settings is tells that system profile is used (it's grayed out so I
can't choose another one manually). However, it looks like sRGB profile is used
instead. Colors are a bit different from other applications such as gwenview or
darktable (but are the same if I set sRGB as display profile in darktable). In
digiKam 8.7.0 color profile was applied as intended.
I conducted some research and have found that reverting commit 'af6f0afe' from
2025-10-11 seems to fix the problem for me.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch digiKam and check colors of the images (thumbnails or original
images).
2. Compare with other color-corrected applications (darktable, gwenview, GIMP).
OBSERVED RESULT
Colors in digiKam are different from other apps.
EXPECTED RESULT
Colors are the same as in other color-corrected apps.
