 Posted: Tue Oct 09, 2007 11:21 am Post subject: Using a wide gamut display |
 |
|
I have a wide gamut display, the Dell 3007WFP-HC, and very nice it
is too: I've carefully profiled it, and I get far more than sRGB, and
most of Adobe RGB. So far, so good.
When I'm working in Photoshop (or any other colour managed
application) everything works perfectly. However, as you might
expect, when browsing the web things are rather different, and the
effect is startlingly fluorescent. This wasn't a problem with my old
CRT, which was very close to sRGB.
Does anyone else have this problem? Is it possible to solve it? I
have heard that Windows Vista is fully colour managed, so perhaps this
problem won't occur on that OS.
Andrew. |

The most pragmatic solution is probably to switch between two different
presets (display calibrations) if your display supports them: a sRGB
preset for non-colomanaged applications and a custom, full gamut preset
for colormanaged applications.
The only pitfall is the video card lookup table: the OS will likely not
notice the preset switch and will neither load the appropriate lookup
table to the video card nor use another profile.
But as long as the lookup table does not contain substantial gamma-,
whitepoint- or graybalance-corrections, this is a minor problem: simply
use you wide-gamut-profile and -lookup table all the time and switch
between your two display presets.
Non-colomanaged applications will ignore the profile anyway and the
"wrong" lookup table hopefully does not affect the sRGB-display too much.
Another interesting topic is colormanagement in the web browser: A Beta
Version of Apple's web browser Safari is also available for Windows, see
<http://www.apple.com/safari/>, but don't expect too much: it will
display images only correctly if they contain embedded ICC profiles,
which is a rare exception on average web pages.
