is it possible to have embedded profile in screen shot data?


Recommended Posts

I wasn't sure where to put this question.

Do you know if it's possible to have a color profile embedded in screen shot data?

I communicate with a couple of design clients via whatsapp, and I like to use the snipper for quickly showing changes and getting feedback.  I am assuming that color profile data is not included in this case.  Either that or the wrong profile, but I assume the former.  Do you know if it's possible for a color profile to be embedded in a screenshot?  And if so, are are aware of a similar tool that does this?  Saving out a file, emailing it, them checking their email to see it are steps I'm trying to avoid.

When using Windows, screenshots are captured with your monitor profile embedded, rather than the correct image profile.  And you're right, this is definitely a problem.

However, I've never explored third-party screenshot apps.  Maybe there's one that captures colours correctly?
