I don’t want to read all this – just give me the answer! That said, any errors in here are entirely my own and I’ll happily be corrected and informed by more learned opinions, in the comments.

In putting this post together the excellent content created by the three professional colorists behind (Robbie Carman, Patrick Inhofer and Dan Moran) was instrumental to defining my answers to much of this, as well as some key insights from Michael Kammes and his 5 Things Web series and Samuel Bilodeau of. When I’m researching something like this I prefer to hear from professionals who demonstrate that they know what they’re talking about – both in theory and real world applications. Of course, the kind of work you’re doing and the resources you have at your disposal will somewhat dictate how far down the rabbit hole you need/want/can go. If you’re wrestling with some of these questions too, then hopefully I can provide some answers, or at least an interesting technical read.Īs I wrote this post I soon discovered that when you really dig into colour management it’s one of those technical rabbit holes that some people love (people who comment in forums) and some people don’t have time for (getting into the depths of nuance). Why does the colour look different in Quicktime vs VLC vs YouTube vs Vimeo vs Chrome vs Safari, all on the same monitor?.Do you need to have an external video I/O box between your computer and the monitor?.What Colour Profile or settings should you have your monitor set to?.
