I tested this with the WhackedRGB test images. The monitor profile is recognized in Photoshopīoth ImageGlass and QuickLook are color-managed and load embedded color profiles. I'm letting the Displa圜al app load the profile automatically.

Here are the Color Management settings in Windows. I've been playing around with different Working Spaces and RGB Policies. Here are my Color Settings for the most part. I created a standard rainbow gradient on a new 1000x1000px RGB file, compared the preview to a reference, and compared the exported PNG to the preview. I've conducted a few practical tests and listed the results below. I can't seem to find a combination that keeps the colors correct and consistent. Other times the preview is perfect, but the exported file doesn't represent the preview in PS at all. Sometimes opening images or PS documents yields a document preview that looks awful and doesn't represent the original file at all. I've been having various issues with color in PS for a while now, but now I've identified that it's not because of the way I'm viewing the images or the way my monitor is calibrated. QuickLook 3.6.4 (Another Color-Managed Image Viewer) ImageGlass 6.0.12.29 (Color-Managed Image Viewer) I don't want the situation where an image imported into Photoshop doesn't look anywhere remotely near the original or an image exported from Photoshop doesn't look anywhere remotely near the preview.Īlas, these are the issues I've been having.

This includes a calibrated monitor using an i1 Display Pro + Displa圜al, correct color management in Photoshop, and all images should appear with correct colors across Windows, browsers, and Photoshop.

My ultimate goal is to have calibrated and consistent colors across all hardware and software on my Windows 10 machine. My Dell XPS 15 laptop had some utility that kept trashing the calibration, and until I fund it and expunged it, I had to keep re-running the LUT loader.I've been researching this for tens of hours, but something is severely wrong. Now you mention it, I remember coming across that issue before: some full-screen programs flush the LUTs in the video card (but well behaved ones reload the LUTs from the profile when they exit!).

In fact, Florian’s post about disabling the profile loader was in response to someone asking how to do that because a couple of their game titles didn’t look good with the Displa圜al profile loader active.

Florian mentioned it’s not uncommon for apps that run in full screen mode, usually games, to push their own LUT to the video card. I found a post from Florian (the developer) about the scheduled task entries shortly before I retired for the evening.Ĭoincidentally, the post from Florian explained the same thing you mentioned about Displa圜al’s profile loader pushing the LUTs to the video card and potentially doing so more often than just once at startup or login. I was more or less trying to find the answer to this question before I committed to installing Displa圜al. Some programs have the irritating habit of watching for anyone disabling their wonderful start-up, and re-anabling it, when it actually doesn't need to run all the time, but could run perhaps only once a day and then exit. A startup program (Task Manager -> Start-up tab, and disable the start-up program as necessary).

A service (Win key + X -> Computer Management -> Services and Applications, and disable the service if necessary).

The task scheduler (Win key + X -> Computer Management -> Task Scheduler, and disable the task if necessary).

I know you've found an anser to your question, but a general answer to the issue of how to stop things being run at boot-up, they are generally started one of three ways: It's the Video Card Gamma Tables - the calibration LUTs normally contained within the profile - that are loaded into the video card at each boot. The profile is set as the Windows default profile once and for all, until some time that the profile is changed. By the way: it's not the profile that is loaded at boot-up. I use Displa圜al, but currently only to measure profiles. I didn't answer as I don't know about its VCGT loader. If you need to suspend use of the profile loader, it appears you can do so by going into the task scheduler, disabling those tasks, and rebooting. On the remote chance anybody else ever needs this info, Displa圜al's profile loader is activated via two Windows scheduled task entries.
