Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I checked and did not find my issue in the already reported ones
Describe the bug
Darktable docs for negadoctor mention this:
The working profile parameter in darktable’s input color profile module should be set to either linear Rec2020 RGB, or to an ICC profile representing the actual color space of your film emulsion. Some examples of such ICC profiles may be found in the following forum posts:
https://discuss.pixls.us/t/any-interest-in-a-film-negative-feature-in-rt/12569/177 https://discuss.pixls.us/t/input-color-profile-to-use-for-negatives/20271/13
Going to the second link, I've found an .icm profile for a frontier printer, Fuji_Frontier5-sRGB_CA-DPII_v3a.icm
The docs clearly state that these profiles can be set as a working profile, but this doesnt seem to work, I've downloaded the profile, put it in the /share/darktable/color/out folder (i also tried the /in folder) , but darktable does not let me pick them. Am I doing something wrong, or are the docs outdated?
Steps to reproduce
- Go to https://discuss.pixls.us/t/input-color-profile-to-use-for-negatives/20271/13
- Download the frontier icm profile (Fuji_Frontier5-sRGB_CA-DPII_v3a.icm)
- Copy it into the /share/darktable/color/out folder
- Restart darktable
- Open darkroom tab
- Select "input color profile" module and select a working profile
- Notice that the frontier icm profile doesnt show up
Expected behavior
Darktable should let me select the frontier icm profile as a working profile in the input color profile module

Research direction
Start with darktable’s input color profile module and reproduce the issue on Windows 11 using Fuji_Frontier5-sRGB_CA-DPII_v3a.icm in share/darktable/color/out, as described. Compare the documented working-profile behavior with the profiles the module displays; the issue is done when the Frontier profile can be selected or the documentation accurately explains the limitation.
