iMac 5K Wide-Gamut Limiting / sRGB Emulation mode?

[Philip Bowser]

Hey folks, I currently own a late 2015 5k iMac Retina. I’m looking for a way to “limit” the wide-gamut display to a standard sRGB display so colours show up properly. Currently they are oversaturated unless I’m in a colour managed application (Like After Effects or Davinci Resolve). Is there a way to emulate an sRGB ICC profile or perhaps remap the larger colour space to a a smaller one?

It would be great if playing back something in quicktime or opening a photo wasn’t overly saturated.
If anyone has any experience with wide-gamut displays or specifically this 5k iMac, I would appreciate your help very much 🙂

Thank you!
Phil

Under Mac OS X, the whole desktop is color managed (with few exceptions and notwithstanding bugs in Apple’s “Photo” and “Preview” apps).

Ahh! I see. Thanks for the quick reply Florian.
It’s a little bit annoying that Adobe doesn’t have color management in Premiere.

I guess my best work-around would be to create a LUT in DisplayCal and apply it in an adjustment layer over top of my entire timeline so I can see what the colors would actually look like online for someone using a regular sRGB monitor.

Would I just use the Resolve workflow? And then load that LUT into the Lumetri panel within Premiere?

Possibly. I have no experience with Premiere.
