Color Management

Post by recobb »

Situation:
XP host with color managed monitor (i.e., monitor calibrated and .icc profile generated)
Fedora13 guest, which has color management option installed.

Question:
In order to have color managed colors in the guest, how do I set that up? Because the host is already color managed, do I simply turn off color management in the guest? Or should I apply the same profile in the Fedora color management settings?

Thanks for any info.

Guest Additions are installed in Fedora?

Yes they are. Would that make a difference in how the color tables are mapped?

Dont know exact. But i think the guest is only a window on the host, so normally there is nothing to install, if host and guest have same settings for color (16, 24 bit etc.).
