With this method, if ColorContexts is empty, then the image doesn't have any profile. There are magic strings and IDs at the start if you want to check but I really don't know them or know where to find a table for the common ones (the embedded profiles could be infinite, not limited to AdobeRGB and sRGB).Īlso, one image might have more than one color profile. Using that method, I've extracted the raw data from both sRGB ( link) and AdobeRGB ( link) if you want to check them. If you want to write the profiles to disk to check them with an hex editor or something, you can use this code: using(var fileStream = (var st = context.OpenProfileStream()) New Uri("mybitmap.jpg", UriKind.Relative),īitmapFrame bmpFrame = bitmapDec.Frames ĬolorContext context = bmpFrame.ColorContexts Īfterwards, you'd need to process the raw color profile (using context.OpenProfileStream()) to determine which profile it is. Yes, it’ll take some users time to adapt, but increased competition in the market and compatibility will only help to drive prices down.Īre you an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus user? Have you seen the benefits of wide colour gamuts on a mobile display first hand? Or does your phone look about the same as it always did? Are you a developer working on wide gamut software for the iPhone? Let us know in the comments.You'll need to use a BitmapDecoder to get the frame from there, then check the color context: BitmapDecoder bitmapDec = BitmapDecoder.Create( You can also choose to save your image in the desired color space upon export in Lightroom, as. Click on the dropdown menu beside >Color Space and choose >AdobeRGB (1998). Choose the > External Editing tab at the top of the menu. More companies releasing wide gamut compatible hardware and software can only be a good thing. Just note that you can convert Adobe RGB to sRGB successfully, but not vice versa. Hopefully, others will follow Instagram and Apple’s lead. It always makes me a little sad when I have to convert down to sRGB for display on the web. Working with images on wider gamut desktop displays is always a joy, especially as printers can often produce colours not found in the sRGB colour space. You can read more about it and get technical on the Instagram Engineering Blog. After all, if Instagram’s going to start supporting it, they’ll want to make sure users that process their image in other applications can take advantage. They’ve also offered up a bunch of information to help other iOS developers to add wide colour support to their own iPhone apps. With the PC on which I’m writing this post, one of my displays is wide gamut ( HP LP2475w) and the other is not (a cheap generic 22″ widescreen), and when dragging the same image between two monitors, the difference is immediately obvious.īut simply adding support for wide colour isn’t enough for Instagram. On a wide gamut display, the instagram logo “magically” appears. No, not a photo of a cute little bird, it’s an image that on an sRGB display looks like a simple solid block of colour. In LRTimelapse 5.5 Ive redone the whole color management in order to produce much better colors. However, when including image in a new design, ID exports pdf with AdobeRGB embedded. At least in the half dozen cases I researched. This seems to happen when the image originated from PS Elements. In order to help users determine whether their display is wide gamut or not, Instagram have offered up a “ canary image“. Hi, sRGB and AdobeRGB are photo colors paces, which have always caused trouble when converting into the required video color spaces. Image tagged with sRGB, but ID assigns AdobeRGB upon pdf export. Likewise, a screen that’s only capable of sRGB is also never going to be able to display them accurately, either. So, you’re just never going to be able to represent them accurately if your camera only shoots sRGB. The areas in light blue fall outside of the sRGB colour space.
