Evening all,
So I have been doing some self research on what colour space is & how it works within photography and post processing, however there is one area I would like some confirmation if I may of my understanding.
I currently use an iMac 27” 5k 2020, using the default ’iMac’ Display Colour Profile along with Lightroom Classic & PS, where I also use the default colour settings within each software. The only thing I do change, is the colour space to sRGB when I export my jpgs which are always for web & digital viewing. I also have no interest in calibrating my system for the level of photography I do and they fact I’m happy with the result I currently get
However after doing the research I have noticed one thing now (never noticed it before), so just want to check my understanding of linking it to my research. But essentially I have noticed on my iMac that even when using the default display profile, if I view an image I've not exported or like the desktop icon graphics or FB for example, the colours look slightly different colour wise to images viewed in LrC or PS or ones (jpgs) I have exported and viewing say on Flickr.
Is this because when using those kinds of software or viewing images I have proceed and exported, they are colour managed software and so use their own colour profile (sRGB ect..) within the actual software/website/image space, which is what you see (overriding the display profile). But then if viewing something that isn't colour profile managed like desktop graphics or certain website, then you just see the colours as per your displays current colour display profile?
Thanks
