Hy Gys,

I tried gimp. Showing image properties in gimp it tells me that the color 
profile is Adobe RGB 1998. If I activate Colormanagement and say that gimp 
should use the system profile for my screen, then  colors are shown different. 
Saturation is higher and there is more red in the photo. So this looks better.

So I guess I have to activate colormanagement in digikam as well. I set 
display and working profile to sRGB. But if I open an photo in imageeditor 
which I also use to take a detailed look at photos, it wants to convert the 
photos colorspace (just by loading it), but I just want to look at it but not 
change it, just the way it works in gimp. Any idea how?

Thanks
Rainer
