Many people are familiar with the classic “ SMPTE color bars“, a hallmark of the NTSC signal verification days.īeing acquainted with the basics of calibration with SMPTE bars doesn’t hurt and it’s pretty easy.
look at your Frame export on an iPhone screen to gauge if your work looks the same as it did on your computer display. That said, one good approach is to view your export on different devices, i.e. Apple computers also have a decent track record of looking decent out-of-the box (part of the reason I recommend them in the ‘computer’ section), but you’ll need to understand the concept of ‘color management’ to get predictable and trustworthy results. Use the Frame.io app (never the browser!) and have them set brightness to about 60% in a normal viewing environment. Fortunately, as of iPhone 11, iPhones are pretty standardized and high enough quality that, for basic SDR content, you can give a client a great idea of finished color. The inevitable experience of every colorist involves sending colored material to a client for review and getting feedback based more on the inaccuracy of their display than of your color correction. Characterization requires measuring the unique color response of an individual display.ĭisclaimer: Calibration is important, but it’s also very easy to get it wrong and make things worse. Characterization “Calibration” is a lot like what you do with the SMPTE bars in the video above: using the display-provided controls to adjust things to get the display as close as possible.
See here for a refresher on the CIE 1931 chromaticity chart and how it was created.Some of the following resources are helpful:

Fortunately it can now be done with free, open-source software ( Displa圜AL) and affordable hardware ( X-rite i1DisplayPro), but do expect an investment in time. Calibrating your display and environment for color-critical photo and video work is simply not an easy task. In order to achieve accurate calibration, it’s necessary to understand a bit of color science and history of quantifying how human’s see the world, so brushing up on those topics (CIE, XYZ color spaces, icc profiles, LUTs vs.
