colour management issues

I’m having a problem with colour management. The screen shot below shows the same file in three different programs:

Left to right is digikam, rawtherapee, gimp. I processed the original raw in rawtherapee, exported to GIMP for touch-ups, and exported to the jpg shown.

The digikam view (left) is how I remember the image when I finished the edit in GIMP. But now the GIMP version, both the exported jpg and the native gcf file, have a very ugly colour cast to them. This is also reflected when I open the image in Rawtherapee.

For comparison, the actual image is on Flickr:

Imgur

On my browser, it looks close to the desired version, like the digikam view in the screenshot. (although on my phone the skin tone is a bit brassy).

Complicating things, this is a new monitor, and I haven’t figured out how to calibrate it yet. But regardless of the monitor calibration, the colour profiles of the three programs should at least match each other? What have I done wrong here?

Thanks!

EDIT: I checked, and the image EXIF confirms the icc is set to RTv4_sRGB, which should degrade to standard sRGB on apps that don’t recognize it according to the Rawtherapee docs.

I’m in my office now and I can’t recall when I calibrated this monitor last …its not my editing machine but to me in Chrome…on Windows …your Flickr image looks warmer light the RT or Gimp image and not the Digicam one…so that’s not likely helpful but that is what I see I will check my editing machine later…

I have made some progress.

Two separate issues. I had somehow set up some of my programs to use a color-managed display, but not all of them. This caused havoc when passing images among them, as you can imagine. Also, the fact that this made a difference at all suggests I haven’t properly installed my monitor profile.

Second, my monitor profile was not accurate. As this is my first attempt, I’m aiming for images posted to Flickr and viewed on Firefox ought to be somewhat close to my local versions. This was not the case - viewing with a web browser revealed harsh colour casts.

My current work around is to set all my programs to not use color-managed display settings. My new ProArt monitor is calibrated well enough that this will suffice for now, until I get a handle on how to properly a) create a color profile for the monitor and b) install that profile system-wide and for each program that recognizes them.
