Please add the ability to Export from Fresco with a colour managed file i.e. a file with an embedded ICC colour profile.
At present exported files use the RGB colour model but are not tagged with any specific ICC colour profile. When such files are opened in another application the colour is almost guaranteed to change as, as without that ICC profile reference, the pixel values could represent almost anything. The same values look completely different in sRGB, Adobe RGB and ProPhoto which are all RGB working spaces.
On opening and untagged file, other applications either treat untagged images as sRGB (common in browsers) or apply the currently application working space which could be sRGB, Adobe RGB, ProPhoto etc (this happens in Photoshop).
The way to get back the colour as seen in Fresco is, in Photoshop, assign the monitor profile for the device in which the image was made, then convert to a standard RGB working space (e.g. sRGB). All this could be avoided if on Export, Fresco carried out the conversion to a standard RGB colour space (e.g. sRGB or Adobe RGB) then embedded the profile in the exported file. This is standard practice when exporting from Photoshop etc.
I am impressed by the simplicity of using Fresco and the ability to mix Vector and Pixel painting. A colour managed Export process would mean that others could see the output in the same way.
