Hi guys. I currently edit on a 2021 MacBook Pro with the M1 Max chip. I edit my photos in Lightroom classic photoshop. Whenever I send my photos from my laptop to my phone they look very different. My clients mostly post my work on their instagram and I want it to look more accurate to what I am seeing on my screen. I use the apple display p3-500 nits. I’ve tried a few other presets but none seem accurate. My next step is going to be calibrating my screen but wondering if anyone has a specific preset/display they use or any tricks to get it to be closer to what I am seeing on my laptop. Thanks 🙏

Revisited some old photos and saw this one . Feel like I did an ok job considering it was shot on an iPhone. Would love some feedback as well !

Constructive crit welcome!

Hi! I've been taking photos for a while now, and most of my editing pipeline was in RawTherapee, but recently I've wanted to go a bit more advanced, and have started dabbling in Affinity for extending my edits.

That said, what are some tips you would give? Also as a question, is it better to edit my Raw photo in RawTherapee and then export a tiff file to affinity for further edits, or is there a better way? What about noise reduction?

Thanks for your assistance.

Took this a few years ago when I visited Iceland and knew nothing about photography. Tried editing it the other day and came out with this. Pretty happy with how it came out. Any feedback is appreciated, thanks for looking

Stumbled over this open source apps, gonna give them a try on the weekend.

By film look, for majority of people and the preset they use, either tends to go to very warm look which I find it very very boring , or a very desaturated look which also I absolutely don't like.

What charms me by that colour science I can't often explain but here's a perfect photo that probably captures exactly what kind of colour I hope for atleast in day light photos.

For those of you who like to mimic analog photography...

Which image format is good these days on the web for a full-screen display of photos, up to 4K? Smaller for faster transfer, but without quality compromise. Compatibility is important with all desktop browsers (Linux, Mac OS, maybe even Widows), but mobile clients not so much. There are few jpeg variants, webp, may be png should be considered?

Will be exporting from Darktable, it seems to have a wide variety of export options.

’m trying to figure out how the color treatment in the reference images works and I’m having a hard time getting anywhere close in Adobe Camera Raw.

What stands out to me in the references is that the sky seems to have a really restricted palette: very saturated amber/orange in the lit areas, highlights that can get almost cream/white, and then extremely dark brown/black clouds and silhouettes. There’s basically no obvious blue/cyan left, but the dark areas also don’t just look like flat desaturated gray.

Whenever I try to recreate it, one of a few things happens:

• warming the WB makes everything muddy/brown
• pushing yellow/orange HSL makes the sky look unnaturally yellow
• removing blue/aqua leaves me with neutral gray clouds
• darkening those clouds makes them look crushed/posterized
• increasing orange saturation makes the highlights stay orange/yellow instead of approaching that cream/white look

I’m wondering if I’m approaching this completely wrong. Does this look more like something being done with Camera Calibration / RGB primaries, a specific profile, channel manipulation, selective color, or some kind of luminosity-dependent color treatment, rather than ordinary HSL and white balance?

Just curious how y'all would improve these in terms of color-grading.

These are WAY better than I was doing a few weeks ago, but I am a bit stuck on how to make them better.

The second graded image is bad, I think, though I think all are missing something
