#imac #gammashift #retina #macbook #colorshift #fix #hack #displayprofile FINALLY A SOLUTION! Has been bothering many for years! *Download ICC profile below. An Issue with wide gamut screens (be it an iMac 2014 or Apple-compatible cinema display) when working with .rec709 or sRGB content– it’s not really a bug, more of an Apple-feature gone wrong (sounds familiar?). Apple introduced something called ColorSync a longer while back, initially meant for images (print/scan/preview) only. A shorter while back Apple broadened its functionality to cover video as well – to ensure display accuracy across all Apple devices and systems. That’s exactly the problem: It’s for Apple Soft- and Hardware only. If you are using Premiere Pro, VLC, Firefox, Chrome, Davinci Resolve or Avid – THIS IS FOR YOU! You need to trick the iMac into displaying raw rec709 values. IF YOU DO HAVE WIDE GAMUT SOURCE VIDEO (P3, .rec2020 or similar) you might want to stay away from this – or use it to check what others would see! DOWNLOAD ICC
