Colour converted

A photograph carries a colour profile that isn’t sRGB, such as Display P3 or Adobe RGB, as cameras and phones often write. Statac converted its colours to sRGB when it made the copies it publishes.

What you’ll see

note  Colour converted: the copies of `content/photo-1.jpg` are in sRGB, converted from `Display P3`

In the terminal the message also names the file and line where there is one, and marks the exact text.

Why Statac says so

The copies carry no colour profile, and a browser shows a picture without one as sRGB. Left unconverted, the photograph’s colours would come out duller or shifted, so Statac converts them and the copies look as the photograph does.

Colours the wider space holds and sRGB doesn’t are brought to the nearest sRGB has. On most photographs the difference can’t be seen; on one with very strong colours it sometimes can. Statac says so, once for each such photograph a page shows, so the change is never a surprise. Your own file is never altered.

How to fix it

Nothing is wrong. Once you have understood it, quieten it by name.

To publish a photograph as the file it is, its profile kept, write optimise: false in a file beside it named after it, such as photo-1.jpg.yaml for photo-1.jpg. Statac then makes no copies of it.

Example

In statac.yaml, to stop it being shown:

quiet: [colour-converted]

Its name

Name	colour-converted
In the terminal	statac explain colour-converted
To stop showing it	quiet: [colour-converted] in statac.yaml, once you have understood it. Statac still counts it.
