I’m frustrated about color consistency between programs and devices, making color management so hard to do across platforms. My camera shows a different color to my phone, which shows a different color to my PC. Even on PC alone, the color in the editing program is different to the photo preview software and browser. How do you guys manage this? I’m aware that the Apple ecosystem does a better job at color consistency across devices, and I’m very jealous of that.
My devices include a Fujifilm camera, Google Pixel, Windows PC with non-calibrated LCD monitor, and a Windows laptop with OLED monitor (was factory calibrated, but I lost the file after a system wipe, so not sure anymore). Softwares on PC include Fujifilm X RAW studio, Affinity Photo 2, Photoshop, FastStone viewer, and Firefox (primary browser). Should I stick to the OLED laptop for editing instead?
You need a colorimeter that has software support for each device.
I only use one on my PC, to be sure my edits are accurate. The rest of my devices are as they are.
