For performance reasons, the zoomed-out preview is not generated from the full-resolution image, but rather from a scaled one. We have seen cases when comparing a full-resolution export with the preview, or with a scaled-down export without ‘high-quality processing’ turned on, contrast (and perceived colour) differs strongly.
If it looks yet again different on pixls, then there is probably a colour management problem.
Thread mods - if this shouldn’t be here - let me know and I’ll move it to Darktable.
I have tested my browser (Firefox on Linux) here and it seems to work as intended. So too if saved to local drive and viewed via Gwenview which is my default image viewer.
Actual screenshot from Firefox:
So it seems ICC profiles honored.
However, to demonstrate the issue of image being different between being viewed via Gwenview locally and via Browser after uploading to Pixls.
Exported from Darktable - displayed in Gwenview. Detailed but subtle.
Uploaded to Pixls - displayed in Firefox. Darker and more intense.
Try two exported versions. One with and without high quality reprocessing. Setting no usually gives a result that looks more like a scaled screen preview and setting yes will have things more like what it looks like at 100 percent… This has also been discussed at length a few times on the forum… As for those color edits I sometimes use the CLUT module. The green blue and skin patches can be used or custom matched to a color selected in the image and then tweaked using the color saturation and Luma sliders…
Are they both set to use the same ICC for display. It’s one thing to support ICC but are they using the same one ie the viewer and browser
I would (assume) so… but will have to google & dig to see if I can find any confirmation.
Is that the “high quality resampling” in the export module or the “prefer performance over quality” setting in “processing” within preferences?
Thanks for the pointer - will have to have a play.
I’ll move this into the darktable forum so as not to further hijack this Play_Raw thread.
