DxO Photolab color management on Windows

[John-M (Melbourne, Australia - Win10)]

The heading of the article referred to by the OP is: Why is the “ICC profile used for display” option missing from the “Preferences/Common” options? (Windows only)

Followed by;

• With the introduction of the new Wide Gamut color space in DxO PhotoLab 6, this option has been dropped.

That is; prior to PLv6 there was a Preferences option to allow the user to specify the ICC profile used (by PL) to display the image being worked on - with the following choices;

• 

Now, with PLv6 +, the first option (“Current profile of the display device”) is the default … and any other choice of ICC Profile is handled by the Soft Proofing tool.

The key question being asked by the OP is;

@mjdl

The user [-] has no way of determining which ICC display profile is being used by the main window, is it the profile used by the primary screen where the little start-up window appeared, or the one used by the screen on which the main application window appeared?

I’m not definitely sure about the answer, but I’m pretty sure that PL adapts to whichever display is being used by the main window … as the default option states.
