A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Display calibration between apple devices (alien.top)

Hello

I want to start posting edited photos of my photographs on instagram. For that i would use my iphone, but i edit them on a macbook.

I can clearly see the different colours between my iphone, ipad, and macbook displays. When i transfer the exported photos on my phone they are not what i had in mind anymore. I’ve tried changing the colour profile on my laptop to DCI P3 (what i found is used on an iphone 12) but it still doesnt look quite right.

Even if i customise a colour profile to manipulate the illuminant, the phone still shows more yellowish tones comared to the pale orange-ish on the laptop.

Does anyone know how i can calibrate them close enough so i don’t have to always go back and re-edit photos to be satisfied with how they look on my phone?

I know that no screens are completly the same but i would like some consistency

Thank you in advance!

DisplayCal will host a webpage that you can connect your phone to and test the display on any device with a probe.

I don't know if the iPhone will accept a ICC correction lut. But you can at least adjust the factory settings in it to get the least bad results.
