about WYSIWYG
with wide gamut picture – sRGB screen – export for sRGB IEC61996-2.1 (matrix-based profile)
SP OFF = screen’s rendition
Working on a sRGB screen, colour wise one only sees a ‘fraction’ of the wide gamut pic,
which is also no WYSIWYG, when exporting for
-
sRGB / no saturation protection (checkbox OFF = default)
→ a slight difference on a sRGB screen [ and much bigger difference on a wide gamut screen ] -
sRGB / saturation protection (checkbox ON = non default)
→ already a big difference on a sRGB screen
As tested here in full length (see posts ## 18, 20, 35, 45)
for now*) we can achieve WYSIWYG with
-
SP ON → at 0 (= non default)
for export to sRGB / no saturation protection (checkbox OFF = default) -
SP ON → at 50 (= default)
for export to sRGB / saturation protection (checkbox ON = non default) -
SP ON → at any setting
for export (to sRGB) with the option “Same as Soft Proofing”
*)
at the moment, the softproof with other settings is faulty / misleading
a side note
When exporting to a wider colour space than sRGB, the differences get smaller
( more saturation fits into and the PSC (SP) slider has less effect ).
Yes right, the activation state of SP does matter.
- If the Soft Proofing subpalette is not activated, but the export ICC profile is “Same as Soft Proofing,” then the amount of PSC (SP) applied on export is 0 (regardless of the slider setting)
.
and the resulting export looks (almost) identical to the one
with sRGB / no saturation protection (checkbox OFF = default) on sRGB screen,
– but there is quite a difference, when checking on AdobeRGB screen.
.
What happened … ?
The export with the option “Same as Soft Proofing” but SP OFF was not saved as sRGB.
.
SP OFF is not connected to a colour profile and so the export kept the original profile
“uncalibrated” from @John-M’s “Saturated-Reds” raw-file.
.
That can easily happen.
By mistake one chooses the non-SP-file version to then export with “Same as Soft Proofing”.
[ edited for clarity ]
Yes right, with matrix-based profiles like sRGB IEC61996-2.1 one can use the PSC (SP) slider,
while the rendering intents are not visibly greyed out / deactivated, but in fact → not active.
