I cannot find any color management settings for export......or display, for that matter.

Any guidance/info would be appreciated.

Thanks

How does PD know what color space to use for display? conversion?

Thanks.

I thought I would try to elaborate.

The first 3 are the identical jpg file converted with PD2011. All software using Adobe RGB colorspace.

The last is the RAW file that was converted. I am assuming it is using the colorspace from the camera (adobe rgb, in my case), but it is different.

I need help. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Unfortunately, I don't think that PhotoDirector is colour managed at all. Photos do not show correctly on my monitor and I found no way to set my monitor profile. So although there are interestingadjustments possible, the program cannot be used properly by anyone needing accurate colour or using a profiled system. This is a really major shortcoming that I pointed out in the beta phase - I hope they fix it at some point.

I too mentioned it in the beta phase.

The canon SDK feature is what is keeping me here. Even DPP has color management!

We can give them time to add it. It is pretty good for version 1.

Hi Johnny_X,

PhotoDirector 2011 doesn't support color space on export.
"SRGB" is the default setting.
Thank you.
