Hi,
if I set my workspace profile to AdobeRGB do I have to enable or disable the
color managed view in the editor then? I'm completely confused. I think what I
want is: encode the image in AdobeRGB and view it as sRGB, or? How do I get
this?
Before I spent a whole lot of money in poster size development I would like to
understand what I do ;)
Cheers

I got the image here as a Canon RAW (*.cr2) file and I try to get the

Is there somewhere a nice howto for a professional workflow using
digiKam?
AFAIK has the RAW image no color space so I think the first step would
involve to convert it to AdobeRGB, or? Do I do this during the RAW import
selecting the "work color space"?

<pre wrap="">If you want to work in AdobeRGB, set this as the workspace profile in
digikam's settings. The color management settings for RAW import are
somewhat separate, easiest is that you set the output profile to Adobe RGB
as well. If you specify "no" input profile, libraw will do its best to get
the colors. For the perfect result, you'd need an input profile specific
to your camera.

<pre wrap="">Yes. In the editor, you can switch it on and off and see that the colors
will be slightly desaturated without it. It's much more obvious with
wide-gamut profiles. The output is simply wrong.
Isn't color-managed view enabled by default?
(again, for the perfect result, you'd need an output profile specific for
your screen. If you dont have the necessary hardware device, or a cheap
notebook LCD, then sRGB should be good enough. I'm using sRGB here as
well)

As an experiment I copied 3 image (png) files out of a folder to the desktop.
File a.) had been raw processed in DK and the EXIF data was already
showing.
Files b.) and c.) were raw processed outside of DK, both had valid EXIF data
attached but DK would not display the data.
I then tried to 'import' the renamed test files back into a DK folder in the
hope that the EXIF data would now show. Unfortunately this did not work.
