I note that the slide show does not use color management so is no good on wide gamut monitors.  Perhaps not a bug as it is not implemented on Pro 2.5 either.   Philip hobiedave on "Color Management in ACDSee Pro 3 "Process" editor" http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/color-management-in-acdsee-pro-3-process-editor#post-42060 Tue, 15 Sep 2009 03:02:56 +0000 hobiedave 42060@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ OK, I missed the Color Profile setting in the Process tab.  My current setting are as follows: In the Tools / Options / Color Management dialog I: <ul> <li>Enabled Color Management</li> <li>Set the default input profile to sRGB</li> <li>Set my monitor profile to the custom profile I generated through calibration</li> <li>Set my printer profile to the custom profile I generated through calibration</li> <li>Left rendering set to Perceptual</li> </ul> In the Process tab / Color Profile <ul> <li>I enabled Use working space profile</li> <li>Set the profile to sRGB</li> </ul> Questions: <ul> <li>Do these settings make sense as defaults?  If I set the working profile to anything else then it does not match the image show when I return to the View tab.</li> <li>Can I make this a default for all my photos?  Currently I have to set the color profile for every RAW image in the catalog.</li> <li>Does Quick View support color profiles or is it best to just disable quick view?</li> </ul> Thx Marc Sabatella on "Color Management in ACDSee Pro 3 "Process" editor" http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/color-management-in-acdsee-pro-3-process-editor#post-41872 Thu, 10 Sep 2009 18:58:03 +0000 Marc Sabatella 41872@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ I suppose you could partially automated the process by creating a preset and just applying that preset to everything immediately on import.  But I agree, it would seem to me to make more sense for this to be a global option that "sticks". pwt on "Color Management in ACDSee Pro 3 "Process" editor" http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/color-management-in-acdsee-pro-3-process-editor#post-41820 Wed, 09 Sep 2009 18:32:46 +0000 pwt 41820@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ The color profile option in beta 2 solves the issue - at least for me with my wide gamut monitor.  You do need to set it though - it might be a good idea to have it set to using a profile by default.

If they are aware and fixing the issue, that's fine. pwt on "Color Management in ACDSee Pro 3 "Process" editor" http://community.acdsee.com/forums/topic/color-management-in-acdsee-pro-3-process-editor#post-39976 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 18:08:31 +0000 pwt 39976@http://community.acdsee.com/forums/ yes - me too! This was reported in an earlier thread.  Those of us with wide gamut monitors can't really test this software at the moment.  Hopefully the next version will correct this issue.

I have a wide-gamut screen. I have Color Management configured with "Apply to thumbnails and preview" and that works fine. The issue is: if I click on the new "Process" button, then Color Management is lost, and you cannot adjust the colors of a picture if the colors you see when Developing are not the same as when just watching a picture.
