I started this thread some time ago. After no response Jinny suggested I write to Mr Champagne. Which I did.

Some correspondence seemed to indicate that the problem was that Painter always opens with colour management OFF. Rick acknowledge that was a problem and said he'd look into it.

Now finally the patch has been released but the colour management problem has not been fixed. So one has to remember to turn it on every time.

To say I am underwhelmed is an understatement.
