<title>How do I test if color management is working correctly?</title>
17
The effects of a color profile are sometimes subtle and it may be
18
hard to see if anything much has changed.
21
In GNOME we ship several profiles for testing that make it very
22
clear when the profiles are being applied:
28
<em>Bluish Test</em>: This will turn the screen blue and tests
29
if the calibration curves are being sent to the display
34
<em>ADOBEGAMMA-test</em>: This will turn the screen pink and
35
tests different features of a screen profile
40
<em>FakeBRG</em>: This will not change the screen, but will swap
41
around the RGB channels to become BGR.
42
This will make all the colors gradients look mostly correct, and
43
there won't be much difference on the whole screen, but images
44
will look very different in applications that support color
51
Add one of the test profiles to your display device using the
52
<guiseq><gui>System Settings</gui><gui>Color</gui></guiseq>
57
Using these profiles you can clearly see when an application
58
supports color management.
