I am a photographer and am wondering how I should set my colour display settings to achieve the most accurate colours on my MacBook while editing. Should I have the true to tone on or off, what is Coloursync Utility, where should I set my gamma, should the temp be at 6500? I often will edit a photo on my computer but it looks different on my phone.

Also, do you all recommend editing in a dark room? What tips do you have if you are editing on the go and can’t edit in a dark room?

Any help is appreciated!!

    I turn True Tone off. Everything else I leave as is (brightness about 60%). If you’re going to be printing a lot, you’ll want to calibrate. But if almost or all of your work is digital, the truth is most people will be using a phone to view your work. Androids are all over the maps with their color (previous android owner for years), but iPhones are relatively the same. And the iPhone is extremely close to a MacBook. The last two years, I’ve been making sure it looks good on the MacBook, and because of that it looks great on the majority of people’s phones.
