God damn. Ive been battling with this issue for a few days now and i think ive found my answer, or lack thereof!

[@StudioPetrikas]

It is incomprehensible that we still have to deal with this in 2023.

[@jpjapers]

@@StudioPetrikas Ive been photographing colour swatches with a Spyder Checkr for a few days trying to get them to appear correctly on screen across various pieces of industry standard production software and its ridiculous that it doesnt just work. Its cost me so much time!

[@solitone]

I’ll never fully get color management 😅

[@StudioPetrikas]

Nobody gets it, because it doesn't exist!
There are only a few rather unsuccessful attempts at "Colour Management".
I hasn't been solved yet!

[@khalilpk787]

man that blue screen scared me

[@StudioPetrikas]

I had a little moment where I thought: "hmm, this might trigger a panic attack or something".
Hopefully it goes unnoticed too much (by anyone else).
Sorry for the scare!
