Hey there!
Quick question. You mentioned if using an apple device we should probably set the Display Device setting to Display P3.
Is that for just when I'm working on a Mac, or for when the final output image is intended to be seen on a Mac?
I ask because while I love my screen colors on my Macs, usually I turn that extra vivd color off when doing color grading work, or retouching my photos on Lighroom. That makes my colors stay true to when I share them online, regardless of the device where the image is seen.
So, should I stick to this process and keep my Blender setting at sRGB, or should I turn it to P3? 🤔
I'd say if you are targeting Mac or DCI-P3 movie projectors then Yes render with P3. P3 expands the color space. It's more noticeable in the green colors. As for targeting general audience, it's more of a preference. Based on your post I'd say turn it off since you turn off the extra vivid colors.
It used to kill me when I saw how different a render looked from one computer to the other. At work in the office I'd see a render on one screen and it looked so different in the other. But in the end there was no other way than to accept I can't control the look on everyone's computers. I wish one day it'll be possible, like how right now the time in everyone's cellphones is the same. It's been a long time since people had different time on their time keeping device, maybe someday it'll happen with screens as well.
Got it! Will keep doing the sRGB then. I absolutely love my apple screens (and unfortunately paid a pretty penny for them), so it kills me inside a little bit every time I turn it off to correct my photos. But hey, here we are 😅
Thanks guys!
