If the default color profile (iMac) is selected in iMac Display-Color, and I choose sRGB IEC61996-2. 1 in the design software (such as sketch and PS), then the color I see in the design software at this time Which configuration is it?

Anonymous5331 Jul 15, 2021The color configuration of Mac is global. The color space you use should only take effect when output, right? The color you see should still be the color profile of the Mac itself.

Anonymous5332 Jul 15, 2021Most likely neither I used the design draft given by the designer before, and the color selected by the screen color selection tool found that it was different from the color given by the designer. There was a slight deviation, and I couldn't tell it without comparison Later, I adjusted the color configuration of macos to sRGB, and the color selection was normal Even if you put the code color and the picture color together, you can't see the boundary The colors seen by the human eye are too subjective to distinguish

Anonymous5333 Jul 15, 2021It is the color after mapping srgb to the color space corresponding to the system color configuration file. How does the system configuration file be calibrated, so it looks like this is the accurate srgb to the eyes. @ Anonymous5332 This is probably caused by the designer directly taking a screenshot or not selecting the target color space when saving, because the actual output color is mapped, not the original color. Changing the system color profile to srgb won't be converted, but then the color seen by the eye is not the accurate srgb.

Poster Jul 16, 2021@ Anonymous5333 I don't understand a bit [If you change the system color configuration file to srgb, it won't be converted, but then the color seen by the eyes is not an accurate srgb.], the system configuration is set to srgb, and what the eyes see is not an accurate srgb, so what is the significance of its existence...

Poster Jul 16, 2021@ Anonymous5331 Using sketch's color configuration file, when switching from srgb to p3 color gamut, you can clearly feel that the red in the interface is brighter, but the color value has not changed, all # FF0000

Anonymous11101 Jul 16, 2021In the system settings, you can either choose your own one or use tool (or human eye) calibration. Selecting sRGB in the system settings will not set the monitor to sRGB mode, but will only make the system mistakenly think that the monitor is in sRGB color gamut, resulting in color aberration. If you select sRGB in the App, what you see is the colors in the sRGB range. The red (255, 0, 0) of sRGB will be converted to (234, 51, 35) when output on the P3 display (subject to the Profile set in the system). If you switch the document to the same P3 Profile as the monitor (only switch but not convert), then (255, 0, 0) will be the original output and will become brighter.

Anonymous11101 Jul 16, 2021PS has Assign Profile and Convert To Profile The former only changes the "claimed" Color Profile of the file, while the latter converts the color value of each pixel.

Anonymous5333 Jul 16, 2021@ Anonymous5332 Yes, it's because after the system applies the color configuration file, in order to make the colors you see accurate, the actual output colors are mapped. Suppose your monitor is reddish, and the color profile corresponding to the monitor describes this feature. After the system reads it, in order to display the correct srgb (255, 0, 0), it will actually output rgb (240, 0, 0), so when you choose the color, it will change. If the monitor supports hardware color calibration, there is no need for software calibration. At this time, the srgb color configuration file can be directly used on the calibrated monitor, so the color picked and the color seen will be consistent. The reason why windows remains unchanged is that windows generally does not need to apply special color configuration files by default. If you apply a non-srgb color configuration file in windows, the same situation will occur in software that supports color management such as Chrome and Photoshop.
