What Do You See?

[Black Pearl]

Take a look at this image below and describe what you see.

In theory if your display can reproduce a wide colour gamut (DCI-P3) you should see something.
I'm guessing Adobe-RGB screens should do the same.

Now that's odd. The email notification I received for this topic showed an image with a circle containing 3 symbols, one of which was an elongated diamond, view the topic on the forum and all I see is a red square.

That means your browser is colour managing differently to your OS and is overriding your colour settings. 

 

My iPhone and iMac show the graphics but Ang's older iPad Air doesn't nor does the boys laptops which have basic screens in them.

Hmmm, checked in both Chrome and Edge and all I see is the red square, why is nothing ever straight forward!

[Phil]

Just thought, I'm viewing both my email notification and this topic in separate tabs in Chrome, the image looks fine in the email. Are we sure it's not a forum compression issue?

[Black Pearl]

I'm viewing it now on the forum and I can see the graphics so I don't think so.

[Phil]

Oh yeah, never thought of that 

[Phil]

But that doesn't explain why I can see them in one browser tab and not the other

Drag (copy) the image from the forum and open it in Photoshop - see what happens...

[Phil]

This is driving me nuts. I've opened the forum image in PS and still just see a red square. Did the same with the image from my email and the graphics are showing.

[Black Pearl]

Are you clicking on the forum image to get it full screen - remember the software compresses - though it shows either way on my system.

[Phil]

Clicked through to full screen then right clicked to save image.

I see a red square with a circle with what looks like a compass needle inside it using IE or Firefox, but just the red square in Chrome.

Which is odd because the Pro has a DCI-P3 screen - but it can detect images with the higher gamut and will switch between DCI-P3 and sRGB to keep things accurate. I wonder if the forum is mucking about with the tags? 

Fuji can you try again from the original link: http://appleinsider.com/articles/16/09/09/apples-wide-color-screen-on-the-iphone-7-will-lead-to-more-faithful-color-reproduction

So I'm guessing you have a high percentage AdobeRGB screen?

Interesting how the browsers change things.

[FUJI]

I just see solid orange/red via that link.....and I upgraded to the latrest iOS last night.

Is there something in....settings.....that I need to fiddle with?

Clear browser / display program issue here: Viewed in the forum using Vivaldi -- nada even in view full size.

Download and open in gwenview -- clear as day.

Open in gimp -- offers to convert colour space (to gimp sRGB) -- if I accept the pattern shows momentarily and then vanishes, if I decline it never shows.

I see a picture of a man with strange white globe.... oh hang on wrong thread  nope just a red square.

 

[Kobione]

Looked at this first on my mobile - saw the compass looking thing straight away. Checked it on my desktop and laptop - just the red square on both.

I'm running this on a few forums as its getting confusing - however - if you can't see it then that particular display might not be giving you an accurate view of the colours from your camera so your editing could be askew. Also some browsers are managing colours in very peculiar ways. They are either suppressing colours that you should be able to see or inventing some that you shouldn't be able to view. 

I'll get back if I get some more solid info.

My iPhone 5s sees it as just a red/orange square too....

I can see the graphics within the red square easily. Using an Acer flatscreen monitor on a firefox browser with windows 7.

I dont have to fiddle with anything to view it.

I can only see a red square in Safari. So I dragged it into Photoshop CS6 and exactly the same - a red square. I then did Select All, & Levels, and dragged the shadows slider all the way right. Towards the end of the range a design in black suddenly appeared - a circle with a kind of compass needle surrounded by a strange broken 4-point design. It wasn't vague or fuzzy - it was very very clear, very bold, clean and yet only showed when the Levels were adjusted dramatically.

ETA: iPhoto shows only a ghost of the design if the exposure is either increased or decreased, but nothing in the middle; Preview just crashes when I try to open the Adjust Colour.. tool; Elements 6 moaned about it being a 16-bit image which isn't supported but gave me the chance to convert to 8-bit, which I did - then the result was exactly the same as in CS6, the design appeared sharp and black when Levels were adjusted.
