+ <title>How do I test if color management is working correctly?</title>
+ <p>
+ The effects of a color profile are sometimes subtle and it may be
+ hard to see if anything much has changed.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ In GNOME we ship several profiles for testing that make it very
+ clear when the profiles are being applied:
+ </p>
+
+ <list>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ <em>Bluish Test</em>: This will turn the screen blue and tests
+ if the calibration curves are being sent to the display
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ <em>ADOBEGAMMA-test</em>: This will turn the screen pink and
+ tests different features of a screen profile
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ <em>FakeBRG</em>: This will not change the screen, but will swap
+ around the RGB channels to become BGR.
+ This will make all the colors gradients look mostly correct, and
+ there won't be much difference on the whole screen, but images
+ will look very different in applications that support color
+ management.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ </list>
+
+ <p>
+ Add one of the test profiles to your display device using the
+ <guiseq><gui>System Settings</gui><gui>Color</gui></guiseq>
+ preferences.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Using these profiles you can clearly see when an application
+ supports color management.
+ </p>
