GPU software & OS settings – a To-Do-List for Color Management

[iarik-chan]

The question is what GPU software & OS settings to alter before using CM Application for Image Editing  (e.g. Photoshop) as well as Calibration & Profiling hard+software (e.g.. Spyder + DisplayCal)

I have Dell XPS 9560 UHD laptop running Windows 10
It has two video cards:
* integrated Intel HD Graphics 630, which is “used for all display outputs”
1) thus I have “Intel Graphics Control Panel” settings
* + discrete NVidia GeForce GTX 1050, which can be involved in rendering calculations (so, I suppose, can still influence colors)
2) thus I have “NVidia Control Panel” settings
3) and also “NVidia GeForce Experience” with its “Studio Drivers”

Moreover,
3) Windows has “Windows Color Management” settings

There are a lot of parameters in total which can interfere with the proper process. Hope anyone can lead me on those!

-Reset whatever change you did to all of these.

-grey calibration will be loaded in iGPU (AFAIK)

-Photoshop only cares about “after grey calibration behavior” = your custom ICC profile created by DIsplayCAL , Xrite app, Datacolor app…
