quick viewer color shift

[Joe Austin]

Whenever I click-hold on an image in the QV, the word 'processing...' displays and after a couple seconds there is a slight color shift and increase in contrast.    I have color management turned off in viewer preferences.  Sharpening is also set to '0'.   Where else could this processing be coming from?

Which version of IMatch are you using? This sounds like 5.4, where the quick view panel did load a fit-to-window version of the file. And when you click it loads the full size file, while displaying the "Loading..." overlay. The "color shift" is probably caused because the panel displays the 100% file as soon as it is loaded, and performs color management in the background. As soon as the color management has been completed, the preliminary image is updated in the panel.

Version 5.5 always loads the file at 100% and performs color management before the file is displayed.

I am using 5.4,  should it be doing color management if I have color management set to 'no' in viewer preferences?

It still loads the image in the background in full-res, performs sharpen etc.
Please upgrade to IMatch 5.5.
