... and it appears that Changing color profile from a wide one to narrower sRGB typically blocks shadows on the histogram unless special measures are taken. You are right, J.S., that whether it results in a visible problem mostly depends on the variation in the sRGB monitor's brightness and contrast...

Thank you, Jonathan. I think you are correct that the other monitor had skewed brightness or contrast settings, like many computers hooked up to the Web. Hence the title of this thread. It was a shock to read that the SMPTE-240M profile is built at a gamma of 1.8. True, for careful readers the white...

Are you seeing a big visual difference on-screen when you change profiles and transform the image data? On the wide gamut monitor, not much (viewing the Adobe RGB image with the monitor set to display the Adobe color space and viewing the sRGB image with the monitor set to display the sRGB color sp...

When you change the color profile, are you changing both profile and data or just the profile?

Both, per the default of Change Color Profile.

Blocked shadows when dumbing down an image for the Web Looking for a procedure to dumb down an image for display on the Web.This is a situation of too much quality. - The monitor is wide gamut, able to display nearly al AdobeRGB. Display of a 32-step grayscale image shows them all distinctly. - I se...

How this situation came to light: People post small photos for discussion on websites like dPreview.com. The image might have only a few hundred thousand pixels, but with PWP I can often raise shadows and adjust color very well to show what can be done. And then a suggestion to level the horizon ...

Yes, the three toolbar options work as described, and yes, the Level operation may need to crop the original image. Still, at 1:1 preview (which is 1:1 because the original image is small relative to the screen space that PWP has), the entire resulting image is shown. When the user then right-clicks...

Start with a small image, 400 pixels max per side Geometry | Level | move the level line for a small adjustment Preview, which is shown at 1:1 right-click Preview | Zoom In and Resize There is room in the program window on a typical monitor for a full resize at 2:1, but only a very small portion of ...

How about this? Open HSV-S and activate probe. Probe the skin you want to remain constant and probe something you want to saturate. Start vectors around the skin probe and delete the skin probe. Leave these vectors fixed. Start vectors around the saturation target and delete the probe. Raise the hig...
