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.

iPad P3 vs sRGB color grading issues (alien.top)

Calling all iPad and mobile editing wizards...

So I’m a photographer right. Been doing it for ages. Weddings, portraits, ect. I use a sRGB calibrated monitor at home to edit with and it always turns out perfect with color in prints/digital exports... I bought a iPad Pro to use for mobile editing with Photoshop and Lightroom hoping I could edit more remotely. While it syncs and edits great, I’ve found that the color grading is significantly different from my phone/home computer to the iPad edits.

After research, the iPad uses a P3 color grade, while the others use sRGB. And apparently you can’t change the iPad color grade from P3 or finetune adjustments. The edits on the iPad view more warm and more green tint than the sRGB. Do you have any ideas? I'm at a loss because what's the point of editing on an iPad if I need to go re-edit everything on my computer?

Calibrate, no, but you can profile the display. Probably not necessary though, and the apps for profiling weren’t very good last I checked. In my experience the IPad displays shift very little over time. Like, I had to recheck the results on a one and a half year old IPad Pro, because I couldn’t believe it. Almost no change whatsoever.
