Mac OS Color Management
Color management on the Mac is made available to every application, but it is up to the application
developer to support ColorSync color management. In addition, in order for color management to
properly function, not only must the correct display color profile be used, but the source files you are
working with must be correctly "tagged" to indicate the color space that file was created in. If an
image is untagged, the Mac OS does not perform any color management on it and these images may
appear to be "hyper-saturated" when you view them when the monitor is configured to use a wide
gamut color space such as Full, AdobeRGB, or DCI P3. Fortunately nearly every digital camera tags
photos taken with it with the appropriate profile. If you have untagged images or graphics you can
use iPhoto or most third-party photo editing software to assign a tag. Refer to the manual or online
help for that program to learn how to apply a tag to an image.
Do not assume that because one application by a given software developer supports color
management that all of that developer's programs will. This is even true of the applications supplied
with the Mac OS. For example, Preview, iPhoto, and Safari all support color management but the
Finder (including the Quick Look option) does not. (Note that Safari is relatively unique among web
browsers in its color management support. Because of this the vast majority of images on the Internet
are untagged. We recommend that you use the sRGB color space when browsing the web.)
Color Management and Multiple Displays
If you have multiple displays attached to your Macintosh, the color space assigned to the primary
display will be used to color manage all attached displays. (The primary display is defined as the one
that has the menu bar assigned to it.) This means that if you have multiple displays attached and only
one of them is an HP DreamColor LP2480zx you should configure the Displays system preference to
place the menu bar on the LP2480zx. If you do not do so it is very likely that the display color profile
applied will not match the LP2480zx's active color space.
Note: If you configure the LP2480zx to use a wide color space, this wide profile color profile will be
applied to the other display. If you run a color-managed application on the other display, the images
will appear to be under-saturated. This is unfortunately unavoidable at this time.
To set the primary display:
Choose System Preferences... from the Apple menu.
1.
Alternatively, you can also choose System Preferences from the Dock.
Select Displays in the Hardware group.
2.
Select Arrangement from the Tab option at the top of the window on the current primary
3.
display.
The Arrangement option is only available on the primary display. Remember that the primary
display is the one with the menu bar.
