'Use Mac Display Color Profiles' equivalent in Windows 10

PostFri Jan 28, 2022 3:02 am

Hi all, I've recently switch from Mac to PC and after a load of headaches I'm getting into fine tuning things. I'm working with a Decklink going into a broadcast monitor via SDI and just trying to also get my GUI viewers to be as close as possible to accurate. My displays are calibrated in DisplayCal. On my Mac system I just ticked the ''Use Mac Display Color Profiles for Viewers' option to get the Viewer to use the display's calibration. I'm confused that this option doesn't exist in Windows. Does this mean that:

- The GUI viewer is already using the ICC for my display in Windows?

- or do I need to make a LUT for the viewer in DisplayCal?

Thank you!

Right-click the monitor and select the display controls. It will show your monitors in a stick outline fashion. Click on that monitor in the outline, the scroll down and you can see the ICC profile that Windows is using.

And you can go into that and select another one if it's in Windows.

The particulars of your setup might change things a bit.

I am unaware that Resolve for Windows uses colour management. You can create viewer LUT from your ICC profile in Display CAL. You should include the calibration curves in the LUT and disable loading the curves for Resolve in Display CAL profile loader.

This doesn't do anything for Resolve. It only works for apps that support ICC. Basically it's only metadata an application can read and then do its own color management. Windows really doesn't do anything.
