Wrong colors after export

Post by VChris »

I am new to AfterShotPro (3), I am trying it in Linux OS.
I like it very much, but I have a little problem.
When I'm customize a RAW photo in AfterShot, it looks good, as I would like to look.
But when I export to jpg file, colors are a little bit different on the same monitor. It looks like a little bit more red/magenta, and it doesn't looks good for example on a portrait.
How can I resolve this issue? Could somebody explain it to me?

You will find (in File, Preferences, Color Management) a menu item for your Monitor Profile. If you have calibrated your monitor (you have, haven't you?) against something like the Spyder 2, and installed the profile for every ksh session you run, you can select the resultant profile here. That way you should see the same colours in ASP as in Gwenview etc. At least, I think so. If you are still seeing problems, perhaps you need to select your generated profile for the File, Preferences, Soft Proofing choice.
HTH (and AFX will put me right if I got this wrong)

Huhh, I haven't calibrated my monitor, because I don't know how to do that... Don't be angry with me, but I am not an expert :)
Could you help me how can I calibrate my monitor, and how can I get a monitor profile??? I don't understand this method at all. Sorry for my poor knowledge.
Important note: I am using Fedora 24 Linux distro

Dutchmm, thank you for your help! I've found the solution :)
In Gnome Control Center there's a menu item, Color management. And inside this there is my monitor, and clicking on the Details button, it shows me my monitor's icc profile files path. I've found this file, copy to ASP profiles folder, and select it inside ASP's Color management. And that's it, it works! :)
Thank you very much for your help!
