Hi,

I got exactly the same issue with severe colour clipping in the shadows of images. All the images viewed in Chrome appear very darkened and over saturated. I also attach a photo that compare the colour as screenshot from Firefox and Chrome. 

I tried solving it recalibrating my monitor and created a new ICC profile but to no avail...

Chrome version: 56.0.2924.76
Windows 10 (latest update)

Ive also re calibrated, changed profiles, re installed chrome clean, searched numerous forums etc etc. In the end i dropped back to the last version, which worked fine for me. 

+noel@ who knows a lot about coloring in Chrome.

#1 I got exactly the same issue with severe colour clipping in the shadows of images ...

Ok Kia thanks.  You might have the same problem as Mark (not sure yet).  Let me deal with Marks question first, and then come back to you if that's ok.

Thanks for the report Mark.

#3 Mark mentioned:

>Ive also re calibrated, changed profiles, re installed chrome clean, searched numerous forums etc etc. In the end i dropped back to the last version, which worked fine for me.

Apologies.  The previous version worked fine (Chrome 54) for you, and thank you for that detail.  Based on that, this appears to be a regression in Chrome/55.0.2883.75.  Updating the bug title to reflect that.

Adding folks who have been making code changes in this area.

Mark, a few things needed from you to move this bug along

> Steps to reproduce the problem:
> 1. update to latest chrome
> 2. login to facebook
> 3. or my own site at www.markhaddenphotography.com

1) Take a screen shot of one of the images affected from your facebook site and attach that screen shot here.
2) Attach the affected image from your facebook site here.
3) Attach the color profile you were using when the image was affected.

HI

Please see attached screenshots from my own website and also from facebook page.  I have shown on each image a comparison between the versions so you can see the difference. Also attached is my monitor profile.
thanks
mark

Right, I can sure see the clipping.

On your facebook page, let's choose an image from there so we can test with it.   How about the image of the clown fish?  While on your facebook page, right-click that image and save it to your desktop.  Then attach that image here.

see attached. ive included the original but maybe theres no difference between them.

And BTW, it doesn't matter what version of chrome you view with for this step:  just _right-click save_ the clown fish image from your facebook page and attach it here.  (I want the clown fish image that facebook is serving).

We crossed a litter there, but clownfish + Shrimp facebook.jpg looks to be the test image, thanks.

You can confirm when ready, but here's the test.  Download the image from this chrome bug (see the download link) and drop the image on Chrome 55 with your color profile installed.  You should see the color burn effect in the image, right?

which image am i downloading? 

just re read one of your comments above. the problem i have is with the latest version 56.0.2924.76. Version 55.0.2883.75 is fine for me as were all previous versions. Not sure about 54 but i guess i had it at some point on the past.

#20 > just re read one of your comments above. the problem i have is with the latest version 56.0.2924.76.  Version 55.0.2883.75 is fine for me as were all previous versions.

Gothca, 56.0.2924.76 is the problem, will update the bug title.

#19 > which image am i downloading? 

clownfish + Shrimp facebook.jpg, the first image in #16.

Click it's download link, and then drag-drop the downloaded image into Chrome 56.0.2924.76.  You should see the burn effect.

yes indeed. the burn is there. 

Good, thanks Mark.  We have the right images (you see the burn).

56.0.2924.76 is Chrome Beta.  I installed it on Windows 10.  I then installed your color profile from #10 on my monitors.  I started 56.0.2924.76 Chrome Beta and loaded the test image.  I also installed Chrome Canary 58.0.2998.0 and loaded the image in it also.  Here is the side-by-side image I see ...

The image on the left: Chrome 56 beta, has the burn effect you describe, and that confirms this bug.

The image on the right: seems to be fixed in Chrome 58.  Nonetheless, there is clear regression in Chrome 56 beta which will soon be promoted to Chrome stable.

i downloaded chrome from the https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/desktop/index.html page (not beta) and it gave me that version. I did try also the beta version that i found and indeed had the same build number. I guess thats why there were the same issues with both. 

here:
https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2017/01/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html

it says its already promoted to stable. And for sure thats when my problems started.

Anyway I will stick with 55 for now i gues. 

I was just reinstalling Chrome stable myself from the official page, and I agree, it has just been promoted to 56.0.2924.76 (Official Build) (64-bit).

Alas, this bug has reached Chrome stable, I see the burn effect there.

Just tested Chrome 57.0.2987.19 dev (64-bit), and no bug.  This bug exists in Chrome 56.0.2924.76 only.

@kla_pro_bean #1

Haven't forgotten you, and you mentioned

> Chrome version: 56.0.2924.76
> Windows 10 (latest update)

Yeap, looks to me like you have this bug too.  Bear with us while we get a bisect done, to work out which code change caused this regression.

I suspect the bug is in Skia somewhere.  Matt could you take a look, or reassign please?

Mac Chrome Stable 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit) also has this issue.

Unable to reproduce the issue on windows 7,windows 10 and Mac 10.12.2 using chrome version 56.0.2924.87  and canary 58.0.2997.0 with the below steps

1.Opened the image clownfish + Shrimp facebook.jpg from comment #16
2.Not observed any burn effect

Please find the attached screen shot of chrome 56.0.2924.87 (left) and 58.0.2997.0 (right) 
Please confirm if anything missed here in reproducing the issue.

Yeah, some steps missed.

1) Install the color profile from #10 on your monitor(s)
     DELL U2413_july2016.icm
2) Force Quit / Exit Chrome 56 and Canary 58
3) Restart Chrome 56 and Canary 58
4) Load the test image in Chrome 56 and Canary 58

Expected result: the images should look identical.

Actual result: the image in Chrome 56 is noticeably darker and less detailed compared to the image in Chrome 58.

I'm happy to look into this.  Will not be until Monday though, as I'm out of town.

Ok Matt, thanks.  The reproduction steps are bit fiddly, so I'll do the bisect myself.

Chrome 55.0.2883.79 is revision 423768

 Issue 688644  has been merged into this issue.

Uggh I should have seen this coming...

The ICC profile spec allows for parametric transfer functions to be specified as equations (http://www.color.org/icc_specs2.xalter):
Y = (aX + b)^g + c    (X >= d)
Y = (cX + f)          (X <  d)

With the obvious error that "c" is used twice in those equations and "e" is used zero times.  Skia (meaning myself) assumed the intended interpretation was:
Y = (aX + b)^g + c    (X >= d)
Y = (eX + f)          (X <  d)

This however turned out the be wrong.  On reading the ICC errata, the "corrected" equations are:
Y = (aX + b)^g + e    (X >= d)
Y = (cX + f)          (X <  d)

The profile attached in #10 is one of the rare profiles where the interpretation of "c" and "e" really counts.
a = 0.985, b = 0.015, c = 0.033, d = 0.063, e = 0.000, f = 0.001, g = 2.212

I've already fixed this in https://skia-review.googlesource.com/c/6277/ (thus, this is only a m56 bug).  At the time, I thought this was only a logical bug - I didn't realize that naming the variables incorrectly was also causing me to use them incorrectly.  I can cherry-pick back to m56 (and fix merge conflicts) if that's the right way to handle this.

Do we know who is the correct person to triage this for m56?

just dropping a message here: I have the exact same issue 
Color burn on Image with embedded rgb profile). Images with no profile are displayed correctly.

On a side note, This issue also started on the Steam Browser (the game plateform UI) few days ago. I believe it uses chromium too.

Forgot to say: Windows 7 x64, fully up to date, nvidia driver uptodate, latest regular google chrome 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit)

update: the issue occurs only if a monitor color profile is set in the windows color management.
I tried with no profile, and everything is OK.

Problem: I need the profile for my work.

kavvaru@ do you know who can triage this for m56?

@Noel
I got the same problem, just switched to chrome today, from firefox.
i also got a color calibrated profile for my 2 screens.

Tho my bug do not hit all images, but i guess its up to the type of ing, seems to hit .png more than others.

Having the same issue, noticed primarily through EA's Battlelog on the soldier portraits.

Same here. Chrome messes up colors big time on both regular and adobe RGB displays alike. 

It seems not all images are messed up. For example the previews in photos do appear well. Opening the image produces the color clipping. 

The attachment shows Internet Explorer next to Chrome (right). As you can see chrome is complete mess.

Here is shared link to the image in the attachment on google photos.

In comment #47 I used Chrome 56.0.2924.87

after further exploration (see Comment #47) the issue seems to affect images with embedded color profile. When I export image without profile form photoshop it shows up correctly.

Problem is that RAW programs such as Lightroom and Capture One cannot export JPG files without color profile in them......

I use windows 8 64-bit. The image in the example has been processed using CaptureOne 10. I reproduced using export from photoshop with embedded color profile.

Yes images with a color profile are affected.  We beleive the problem is caused by your screen color profile.

Could you attach your screen color profile to this bug please?

I also see this issue with Chrome 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit) on Windows 10. I'm attaching the color profiles of my two screens, both of which seem to suffer from this (unless Chrome only takes into consideration the profile of the screen it was started on, in which case it'd probably be FS2434.icm).

This issue just "burned" me a couple days ago. System has been running fine for months, and then spontaneously, Chrome decides to start displaying images with the darks severely clipped. I made NO changes to system settings, I installed NO update to Chrome, just one day Chrome decided to break images. Everything worked fine in Firefox and Edge, it was only Chrome that was ruining everything. Removing my monitor ICC profile in Windows 10 Color Management (which had been generated using an x-rite i1Display Pro) "fixed" the issue, although I'd hardly call that a fix.

I'm so sick and tired of Chrome's awful color management. How many years do we have to suffer through this before it gets resolved?

I can confirm image burn on Chrome Version 56.0.2924.87 (64-bit). Just began 2 days ago after upgrading to latest version of Chrome. See screenshot running Chrome and MS Edge sidexside. 

I have a custom calibrated monitor (I'm a pro photographer). 
Running Windows 10 65 bit. 

What is the workaround until a new version of Chrome is released to fix the issue?

Since my livelihood depends on correct colors for presentation (I present to clients using the Chrome browser), what should I do?

Thanks for your help!

Hey @fpzmedia.com - when you removed the icc profile to "fix" the issue, did you run ANOTHER i1 calibration? And did that new calibration also show signs of the image burn?

"What is the workaround until a new version of Chrome is released to fix the issue?"

I'm not sure when m56+fix will be released.  m55 and m57 are fine.  You can also work around by configuring your monitor to use an ICC profile that does not use the full parametric representation for the transfer function (more detail is in #38).

Sorry for the inconvenience, I hope this helps.

#50 Noel,

find the profiles for both of my monitors attached. I am not quite sure how the Dell profile is used. The monitor supports hardware profiles and supposedly the calibration profile should be loaded somehow in the monitor? 

I use i1 Display Pro with i1Profiler software to generate my monitor profiles once in a while (monthly). I last used version 1.6.3.18511 of i1Profiler


Let me know if I can give you any more valuable information. Should I try using default profiles in windows?

Deleted: color.zip 30.4 KB

workaround: use chrome canary

Per comment #59, M57 is fine so no merge is needed, correct?

Yes, the fix had already landed before we branched for m57.  This was a cherry-pick back to m56.

Ok, thank you for confirmation msarett@.

To the users that provided their color profiles, thank you.  They have parametric type-4 gamma curves with low or 0 "e" value (refer to #38) and would therefore hit this bug.

Fix is in, and will be out maybe in a week or so.  

Meanwhile, it's fixed in Chrome 57 already, so you can workaround the bug by installing Chrome Beta (Chrome 57) [1]

Basically, every website looks too much white.
I've been using icc profile more than a year with same monitor and computer.
This issue happened after I format my computer a few days ago.
I guess I was using old version chrome before I format it.
When I use chrome canary, everything is fine with icc profile but with original
chrome, I can't use icc profile because of this issue.

There is new work involving color correction in Chrome 61, and I suspect that it is changed things for your setup.

If you could please open a new bug describing the problem you are having, that would   help us identify the exact problem.  Please add your screen color profile to the bug, if possible, and mention which OS you are using (Windows, Mac-OSX, Linux, etc).

I'm using windows 7 and I attached my icc profile that I downloaded here.
