Routing to skia team - is this color space conversion issue?

Sounds like this may be related/dup of another known issue with certain color profiles- cc Matt & Chris

re #1:

It doesn't look like color space conversion issue. I downloaded a few of the images which display correctly and a few which don't - some have sRGB profile assigned, others have no profile. It's a mix of both in each category. That's why as I said in the bug report I couldn't find a pattern. Might that be something related to other metadata specifics?

The fact that this is flaky (and that the images are untagged or sRGB) makes me think that it's unrelated to the known issue referenced in #2.

Chris, I think I remember you mentioning that you had seen something similar to this?  Do you remember anything about that (or did the flakes just go away)?

Guys, just to clarify something:

In previous versions of chromium on openSUSE I have never seen the colors display correctly, even with the flag. They always look more saturated regardless of profile (or the lack of it). I am testing on Plasma 5 in case that matters, using an EIZO CG class with correct profile assigned in systemsettings (I have oyranos-0.9.5-51.2.x86_64 installed). This makes Firefox display colors correctly, but it has no effect in chromium and not Google Chrome.

So in this version it is the first time I see the flag doing anything - when enabled, the images (those which show) are displayed with correct colors in chromium (i.e. respecting the ICC profile).

I think this definitely Linux specific in some way because Google Chrome on Windows has always shown colors correctly even without using that flag and doesn't hide any images.

I hope that helps in finding the cause.

IIRC the flakes just went away. I'm working on a fix for this. --enable-color-correction isn't a safe flag to use just yet, but hopefully it will be in the next few weeks.

So hopefully you can change the status from Unconfirmed to something suitable? :)

Updated to chromium-55.0.2883.75-99.2.x86_64 today.

Even without the flag, images now seem to show correct colors!

Are images still not appearing sometimes?

In other words, has the bug been fixed for you in M55?

1. When NOT using the flag "--enable-color-correct-rendering" - all images appear with correct colors.

2. When using the flag - images still disappear.

Considering 1, for me personally 2 is not so important any more but perhaps you may want to fix it anyway.

This feature is still under active development and isn't ready for external testing yet. I'll add this to about:flags when it's ready.

Good. Please also make chrome://flags to show what "Default" values are. Currently many of the dropdowns show it but to know what the actual value is, one has to search for docs.
