<title>How do I test if color management is working correctly?</title>
23
The effects of a color profile are sometimes subtle and it may be
24
hard to see if anything much has changed.
27
In GNOME we ship several profiles for testing that make it very
28
clear when the profiles are being applied:
34
<em>Bluish Test</em>: This will turn the screen blue and tests
35
if the calibration curves are being sent to the display
40
<em>ADOBEGAMMA-test</em>: This will turn the screen pink and
41
tests different features of a screen profile
46
<em>FakeBRG</em>: This will not change the screen, but will swap
47
around the RGB channels to become BGR.
48
This will make all the colors gradients look mostly correct, and
49
there won't be much difference on the whole screen, but images
50
will look very different in applications that support color
57
Add one of the test profiles to your display device using the
58
<guiseq><gui>System Settings</gui><gui>Color</gui></guiseq>
63
Using these profiles you can clearly see when an application
64
supports color management.
