color calibration problems

Hello,

Sorry for my english but i'm a frenchy. I use version 2.10.14 and I have difficulties with the calibration under gimp. I use EIZO monitor and Epson SC-P800 calibrated with Istudio. I try to use the Soft Proof Mode but i don't find it in french version. After reading the chapter 5.8, which speak about the display filter, i don't find this on my version.

In the doc (https://docs.gimp.org/2.6/fr/gimp-display-filter-dialog.html) we have a filter < Calibration des couleurs > but on my screen, i haven't this filter . What's wrong ?

Other question : Preference options don't seem to work. When I apply an ICC profile printer, nothing happens on the screen. Why ? When I print, the colors are not exact and the contrast is weakened.

What can I do ?

Thanks for your help

I think what you want is Edit/Preferences/Color Management

This is an old (version 2.6) manual; things have changed a lot since then. See:
https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-pimping.html#gimp-prefs-color-management

Other question : Preference options don't seem to work. When I apply an ICC profile printer, nothing happens on the screen. Why ? When I print, the colors are not exact and the contrast is weakened.

Try this:
1. Open an image you want to proof 2. View / New View (The new view will be the proof view 3. In the new (proof) view:
3a. View / Color Management / Proof Colors (make sure it's checked) 3b. View / Color Management / Soft Proofing Profile Select the profile you want from the drop-down; If it is not there, choose "Select color profile from disk..." 4. Compare the two images; they should be different.
