Color management settings for software
After monitor calibration, color management for software that displays the images must be set.
Relaying the current environment to the software enables correct use of color management.
Preferences Setting for Picture Style Editor
Picture : Preferences Setting for Picture Style Editor Specifies the color space to be used for correction. The color space for JPEG images for cameras and the workspace to be used for DPP should basically match up. Editing is possible across a wider color spectrum using Adobe RGB than sRGB.

If the monitor on the PC used has been calibrated, when "Monitor profile" is selected, the profile name is automatically displayed. If a different name is displayed, click the reference button to select the profile for the correct monitor.
The above color management screen is only required for Picture Style Editor preferences setting. Even advanced users who are particular about minute differences in color tones can get pleasing results after ensuring the correct settings. The working color space can be selected from two types, namely sRGB or Adobe RGB, but unless sRGB is specifically required because of the final output circumstances, Adobe RGB is recommended since it offers a broader spectrum. Please note that if sRGB only is available as the color reproduction range on the monitor, even through Adobe RGB is selected as the work color space, the range of colors to be displayed will be restricted to that of sRGB.

Select "Monitor profile" if the monitor is already calibrated in the same way as Picture Style Editor when setting the color space to be displayed. If not yet calibrated, "sRGB" can also be specified if such mode is available for the monitor. In that case, note that the accuracy of colors displayed will be degraded in the same way as Picture Style Editor.
DPP is the main application that uses the new Picture Style files created by Picture Style Editor. The DPP color management settings are also important in terms of accurate color reproduction. Replicating the settings between Picture Style Editor and DPP ensures error-free color observation.
