Regardless of what a display is supposedly capable of displaying, or what gamut it was built to display, there is still the issue of calibration. You can read more about color gamuts here. The 2020 M1 Macbook Pro, for example, is advertised to be able to display 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. Sometimes display manufacturers will even advertise how well a display can show colors from one of these standard color gamuts such as DCI-P3, Adobe RBG or sRGB.
Most manufacturers at least build their display hardware to try to hit the targets established by those standard color gamuts. At the very least, display calibration is the best assurance that your work will be displayed as close to your artistic intention as possible.ĭevice displays are built around a few common standard color gamuts that define the range of colors that a display should be capable of showing. But if you do photography professionally or work on any other form of professional visual media, or if you prioritize the sharing of your work digitally or in print, calibrating your display may be essential. If you never share your photos, never print, and don’t use your photography in a professional setting, you don’t need to calibrate your display. Let me start by saying that calibration is not always necessary.
The first step in trying to mitigate dramatic differences in photo colors across devices is calibration with a tool like the SpyderX Pro. With the plethora of devices that we have access to every day, if your primary photo editing display is uncalibrated, it’s likely that your personal photography collection looks slightly different when viewed on your display than when viewed on your phone and different from what your friend would see when you share your photos with them.
