Haha I am inexperienced when it comes to all this colour business. Setting gamma to 2.2 on the default profile allows you to see the same color tones but with a better contrast closer to what Windows users are seeing making it a great choice. If you're doing work for the web, I always encourage people to stay as close to the default profile as possible simply because 99% of the people out there viewing your work (especially on a Mac) will be viewing it through the default profile. But I do know people who use it full time and they're so used to it they can't stand the default profiles. On any display I've ever tried for instance, the sRGB profile brings an incredibly weird blue cast over everything and is impossible for me to look at more than 30 seconds. The issue is once you get used to a certain profile everything else looks crazy. The colours just seem so much more vibrant, and it doesn't have this weird tinge that seems like a coffee filter has been put in front of the screen or something that you get with Colour LCD. So no one here uses the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 colour profile for their MBPs? Good to see you still around and kickin' arse around the Mac section! I'd recommend running the Expert Calibration and setting the display to your preference. However it comes down to personal preference. They still recommend using 1.8, all things being equal, as that is what the OS ui is designed around. A gamma of 1.8 roughly equals the inverse of the human visual response in average lighting (not my words, but proven to be true).Īpple used 1.8, as it more closely matched the output of Apple Laser Writers as well as Quickdraw (deprecated as of 10.5). You will always use a gamma closer to 1.8 if you are preparing images for print (hard-proofing). Each display needs to be calibrated separately, so the gamma will vary depending upon the Mac's surroundings. If you are in the print industry, you'll never use 2.2. A gamma of 2.2 produces better results for soft-proofing (web publishing), as it has become more of the standard.
