Just in case someone has a good hint, will try new GPU driver etc,
Everything is fine on desktop at home, but on the road now with my laptop with a fresh DT 3.8.1 install at all default config. (wiped appdata and program files folders and reinstalled)
The Darkroom view is much darker than both export and Lightable view. Input and output profiles are at default (Rec2020 linear working, sRGB output). And everything else default. But whatever i do export gets much much brighter. The histogram vs ho wit looks in Darkroom looks correct. But a finnished edit will be exported overexposed. The exported image matches Lightable view.
Lightable view does change when i process in Darkroom, but albeit much brighter
Only remote thing i can thing of now is leftovers somewhere from when i ran dev builds? Or GPU driver?
No styles whatsoever. I dont really use styles. Here is another image for good measure. I do suspect however its not reproducible on other installs. I dont have access to it now, but i do not have this issue on my desktop at home. Also it was working fine last year when i was on a roadtrip on dt 3.6 on this laptop. Very weird. I’ll probably do a format/win resinstall when i get home 2022_norway_1.zip (35.2 MB)
I’m not at home at the moment and only on the cellphone. It is Easter. I doubt i will have time to sit in front of the PC today. I will try to look at it later.
I was going to suggest that your preview might be on an integrated GPU and your full preview on your 3080 or the reverse but I’m not sure if you have that hardware combo??
Ok, if i enable soft-proofing then the views match. I see the laptop has X-rite preinstalled with some profiles. But weirdly all set to SRGB also created a matching view. But without softproofing on, it gets dark.
This shot was taken with very bright sky, and now ive only added exposure to bring the histogram in check, But highlights are overexposed and shadows very lifted.
How can I “Sync” this to also make the histogram usable?
After i set the Display Profile in Soft-proofing to sRGB instead of “System Display Profile”. The views and exports match regardless if soft-proofing is enabled or not??
Now if i set Display Profile back to “System Display Profile”, and turn off soft-proofing the problem is back.
I would set the histogram profile to rec2020…this is all you care about violating and it will feed values to the color pickers…the output profile will map things to srgb or whatever you need…Keep softproofing off so it is not part of the equations. Now specify your display profile…create a folder in your config directory called /color/in and copy any potential display profiles there. Now you can try each one and find out which one is the culprit…It sounds like you have some issue with the profiles…I suspect its the xrite ones…I tried to use them with DT and they are always way too dark…
(although using Linux).
