Part 1 of the Colour Management "The Nightmare" series.

Colour Management is a giant pain in the bottom, especially on Windows.
"How do the colours look different?"
"What's a colour profile?"
"What's the difference between between assigning and converting a colour profile?"
"AdobeRGB or sRGB?"
I talk about assigning or embedding a colour profile in Affinity Photo and Photoshop, inspecting images to check their colour profile on Windows and Mac, how to properly tag images that come out of Blender, and rant a bit about the current state of Colour Management.
The question never end, as it's an eternal struggle to tame the beast that is currently still untamed! Come on Microsoft, FIX THIS!
