Viewing this photo on my MacBook Air screen is like magic — the fluorescent green captured absolutely perfectly by my iPhone and it honestly seems to jump right off the P3 screen.
If I open it in Photoshop, the magic is immediately gone (color profiles?). So the question is, will it post to Mastodon with the magic intact?
@cabel Grabbing a random sample with Sindre Sorhus's System Color Picker gives me oklch(80% 86% 146deg), and plugging that into oklch.com gives me a color that is apparently outside of P3.
I can only assume the picker is grabbing the actual underlying value of the pixels, and not what the monitor is displaying as a fallback.
@cabel Yeah I was very frustrated posting small videos here because they look gorgeous on my phone in HDR and when you post them here it gets all dull.
@cabel This looks the same as the Mastodon version in Safari (both are P3, non-HDR), but if I add it to my photo library and look in the Photos app on my iPhone, it's HDR!
(edit: Pixelmator Pro, which has good HDR support, also shows the iCloud version as being HDR)
@JonnyT This is where color management goes to hell — your video’s green not as bright as the original’s green on my monitor! But when I take a screenshot of it, they’re both equal! I hate color management!
