In Photoshop because PS will compensate for your screens gamma when
Gamma 2.2 colorspace, but you can work on a 1.8 calibrated screen And you must work in the sRGB colorspace.

This leads me to a couple of more questions:ġ) Is the above the best solution, or only what you would suggest if I was not willing to do 2.2 gamma? Because I am willing to change on my macs as long as I can make images look good for users on both platforms.Ģ)If I follow your original suggestion to use 2.2 gamma on my mac, rather than 1.8, will photoshop "over correct" the gamma, or will photoshop realize that I'm not using the default Mac gamma and skip the auto correction?Īctually you can keep your screen at 1.8 IF you have it properlyĬalibrated with a spyder device and IF you work in Photoshop 6, 7,

This should give me decent reproduction across platforms because the image will naturally display well at 2.2 gamma settings on the PC and color aware apps such as Safari will correct for the 1.8 gamma. What I understood from your previous message to achieve this goal:Ĥ)save files with embedded color profiles My main concern is that pictures look good on PCs and Macs when the defaults gamma settings are used for each platform. I don't personally mind changing to 2.2 gamma on my macs. Thanks for the clarification Christopher, again, a very helpful reply.

Internet Explorer on Mac is color managed too, but strangely the windows version is not! You'd think Microsoft would have made the windows version at least as good as the Mac version, if not better.but they didn't! I do not think Netscape is color managed, but i may be wrong. When you save the files make sure to embed the sRGB profile so that Mac users with Safari or Internat Explorer can take advantage of the color management these programs do and get good display on a 1.8 gamma screen. Why sRGB? Because windows machines assume that images on the web are in sRGB, so if you work in sRG you'll get good display on non-color managed Windows web browsers.
sRGB is a gamma 2.2 colorspace, but you can work on a 1.8 calibrated screen in Photoshop because PS will compensate for your screens gamma when it displays images that are in 2.2 gamma spaces like sRGB and Adobe RGB. Safari at 1.8 gamma too? Not all mac browsers, but just the colorĪware Safari? I'm talking out of my butt here, but is thereĪnything to the idea? How do big fancy websites deal with thisĪctually you can keep your screen at 1.8 IF you have it properly calibrated with a spyder device and IF you work in Photoshop 6, 7, or CS. Profile in the image that will make it look good when viewed in Set my monitor to 2.2 gamma as you suggest, but embed a color I know nothing about color management,īut would it be possible to take advantage of that fact? Perhaps I have read that safari is inįact color management aware. That will simulate a 2.2 gamma on your mac so you can adjust pics for the web! If you really want to keep 1.8, in photoshop look under the view menu, then proof setup, then choose Windows monitor. My Mac and my PC are both calibrated to 2.2 and the screens match. There's no way to make photos look good on both platforms unless the mac user happens to have his monitor set for 2.2 as many graphics people do now. On Photoshop it doesn't matter since it's color managed and compensates for monitor gamma.but on the internet there's no color management and since most internet users are on windows you ought to make the pics with a 2.2 gamma monitor. A 2.2 gamma matches actual printed output from an injket, digital minilab, and most presses more closely than 1.8 if you're working with a program that doesn't support color management. The 1.8 default has stuck around past it's time. This was before calibration with ICC profiles and colorimeters was invented. The Laserwriter's native priting gamma is close to 1.8, so Apple set that as the default gamma on Macs so people could make prints that matched the screen. The 1.8 gamma on Mas is a leftover from the old days of the black and white screen all in one Macs and the Laserwriter printer. Many set their display to 2.2 gamma.Įveryone should calibrate the monitor to 2.2 gamma, which is the default for Windows.
