LibreOffice Colour Management (Images look different in LO than in CM software)

[morsn]

I have a few images, I have taken myself that I want to use in my documents. I use RawTherapee and Digikam to manage and process my photos. Both these tools are colour managed and the images look consistent across them.

However if I add these images into a LO Writer document, they look different than in both RT and DK. Is there some way to get color management into LO, so the results are consistent? I feel like there has to be a simpler way than to edit my photos in a way, that is tuned to look right in LO…

You might be better to use Scribus, it has colour management, especially if you use CMYK
.

For RGB images, I don’t see any significant difference between the image in Photoshop and in LibreOffice. My secondary monitor does have 99% sRGB gamut so that helps and I have adjusted the brightness and contrast in the monitor itself

Is there some way to get color management into LO,

If you are a developer, feel free to contribute …
.
Otherwise: Wich profile do you use? My recommendation is stay with sRGB.

Short answer: no

Long answer: LO uses the colourspace internally, cf:

RGB to CMYK colorspace not available in Libre

@Grantler – pdf24 is meant for Windows. I don’t find any link or mention of it for Linux/Ubuntu. Our files are created in Libre on Ubuntu. When Libre is used in Windows and files are opened there, the text shows some distortion, overlapping etc for Devanagari Script. That goes beyond acceptable limits. Hence, running Libre in Windows is out of question. Thanks for the suggestion.
