True - we don’t know if it’s also applied when converting from the Legacy/Classic WCS - but I’m guessing not, because;
- I’ve seen no evidence to suggest that it is … whereas, when converting from the Wide Gamut WCS - it’s easy to find such examples … See here, for example.
- And, more importantly, I reckon that DxO would have been keen to retain behaviour for the Legacy/Classic WCS to be the same as it was for PLv5 (and prior).
During the Beta testing stage, we were advised the PSCA is applied when the destination is one of the RGB profiles; sRGB / AdobeRGB / DisplayP3 … (but only when SP=ON, or when Exporting-to-Disk)
Yes - that’s absolutely the take-out for me too … Such that, counter-intuitively;
- Even a PLv6 user with an sRGB monitor - exporting-to-disk via the sRGB profile - and consuming the result on that same sRGB monitor - and/or sharing with other common/typical users with sRGB monitors - and/or posting to the interwebs, etc ; where the expected color space is sRGB
– that is, the most common/typical user configuration …
– should have Soft Proofing activated if they expect WYS-is-always-WYG behaviour.
(WYSIWYG = What you see is what you get)
For more on this, George; note the “4 distinct scenarios for soft-proofing”, as described here.
