Hi Florian,
I have a problem with my resulting calibrated profile that is driving me insane.
I’m not an expert with regards to color management and I don’t know if I’m doing anything wrong.
The thing is when I have the profile active for my display, photoshop drastically changes the gamma of my images and the preview app on Mac crushes the blacks dramatically. there is a huge difference in how a jpeg, for instance, looks in photoshop and outside of photoshop.
I have attached a screen grab for you to check, on the upper half is Mac OS X preview app and on the Lowe half is Photoshop. The original image has an sRGB profile, photoshop working space is currently sRGB and my colorsync profile on the Mac is a D65 2.2 gamma profile calibrated with displaycal.
Many thanks in advance for your help, I really love your software and hopefully I can get this sorted
This problem disappears as soon as go back to the default color LCD profile on my MacBook Pro. As soon as I select it, I can see both Photoshop and the preview app on the Mac display the same image.
Hi,
see [1] , [2] and [3]. I doubt Apple is going to fix this anytime soon, so I would recommend not using the Preview and Photo apps on OS X (Photoshop is fine).

[3] https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7291462?start=0&tstart=0Many thanks Florian, yes I can see everyone is having the same problem with Preview app. I’m currently on macOS Sierra and it seems this has been a problem since leopard. However I have not experienced this issue when using the Spyder calibration software even though I like the results I get with your software a million times more.
So I guess that’s fine as long as I can trust the output from Photoshop.
Cheers,
Diego
