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.

Just making sure here... did you turn off "true tone" on all devices?

My MacBook looks completely different from my iPad.

I’ve learned to edit my prints on my MacBook as the more matte screen represents the final colours better. For online work I prefer using the iPad.
