My observations lead me to believe that Pano2VR is not color managed. Is that correct?

I have also noticed that the Default.png that P2VR creates for iBooks widgets has the color profile removed. Is there a reason for that? It makes a big difference with my images.

Hi Lionel,
All input images images should have an sRGB profile.
Pano2VR 5 converts output images to sRGB in the input images have a different profile like Adobe RGB.
This setting is selected by default and is found under Settings/Preferences => Advanced then under output: Convert color profile to sRGB.

Dear ggn team,

I have another color profile problem:
When creating "skin-pictures" in the output, the col-profile is not written in the jpg files.
This causes different colors in 3D dist. hotspots.

See example:
scr_01.jpg
scr_01.jpg (104.01 KiB) Viewed 2597 times
on the last picture (lowest in the row), I input the colorprofile (sRGB) manually in the jpg-file that is in the output-folder ("img"):
scr_02.jpg
scr_02.jpg (56.19 KiB) Viewed 2597 times
I hope Thomas can improove and integrate the col-profile also in the outputed jpgs, as it is working correctly already with the tiles and the nodeimages.

Here is the test-project online:

And of course this is the basic-tutorial that inspired my to do that:

EDIT:
Sorry, I forgot to mention, that that is visible only, when I activate color-profile handling in FireFox.
The problem is not visible, when FF is set without color management, but of course it should work fine with both ;-)
