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.

Colour display for MacBook (alien.top)

I am a photographer and am wondering how I should set my colour display settings to achieve the most accurate colours on my MacBook while editing. Should I have the true to tone on or off, what is Coloursync Utility, where should I set my gamma, should the temp be at 6500? I often will edit a photo on my computer but it looks different on my phone.

Also, do you all recommend editing in a dark room? What tips do you have if you are editing on the go and can’t edit in a dark room?

Any help is appreciated!!

Seeing accurate colours on a screen depends on your working environment as well as the display.

Get a monitor calibration device and create profiles for wherever you intend to do colour-critical work.

If you just want make sure your pictures look the same on you phone as they do on your MacBook, then don’t do anything because it’s not feasible. All screens are different.
