iPad vs. iPad3 Color
I am currently in the finishing stages of a new fixed-layout image-heavy ebook for iBooks. I have an first-generation iPad, and on that, I'm considering final conversion of images (currently sRGB) to iPad.icc<http://bit.ly/xEI6nH>. But I'm wondering if I may create more problems when viewing on a New iPad (iPad 3). Do you have any solid info or well-educated guesses as to this, and to iBooks's handling of embedded profiles? Thanks. -- ___________________________________________________ RICK GORDON EMERALD VALLEY GRAPHICS AND CONSULTING ___________________________________________________ WWW: http://www.shelterpub.com

Breaks my heart that there is no color management of the display on the iPad, at the iOS level :( What were they thinking? It'll hurt sales? / Roger -----Original Message----- From: colorsync-users-bounces+graxx=videotron.ca@lists.apple.com [mailto:colorsync-users-bounces+graxx=videotron.ca@lists.apple.com] On Behalf Of Andrew Rodney Sent: March-31-12 11:16 AM To: Rick Gordon Cc: colorsync-users@lists.apple.com Mailing List Subject: Re: iPad vs. iPad3 Color Read this eye opener! http://regex.info/blog/2012-03-27/1964 Andrew Rodney http://www.digitaldog.net/
This is old news. When the iPhone first came out several people reported that iOS has no color management. With each successive iPad/iPhone/iOS release this has been retested and still found lacking. Assuming sRGB for iOS devices seems to be the only way to deal with this ugly situation. Robin Myers On Mar 31, 2012, at 8:16 AM, Andrew Rodney wrote:

Indeed, and this list had a very vigorous discussion of iPad color management in July/August of 2011. I encourage anyone with an interest in the topic to check out late July and early August in the archives for some very interesting reading. https://lists.apple.com/archives/Colorsync-users Enjoy, Jim On Mar 31, 2012, at 8:38 AM, Robin Myers wrote:

While I am not creating an iBook, I have a new iPad which I have started loading my photos onto and so far they look fine. I set them up as jpeg with AdobeRGB1998 embedded. Reading the article that Andrew posted, my iPad did display the ugly blue photo so there are color management issues. Jim
When the iPhone and iPad came out I was astonished at how increadible images looked on them, relative to any other devices like them at the time. They may not have traditional CM as we know it, but that's not to say they aren't thinking about it. They've chosen to focus on the display technology itself (PPI, color temp, viewing angle, etc) and it shows. Scott Martin (from phone) www.on-sight.com

It does seem quite ironic that we are here on an Apple list discussing the way Apple has started abandoning aspects of color management. It's almost as though Apple has just discovered the consumer market and has decided that they should cater to their needs first. How many postings have been made about the possibility of the Mac Pro line being discontinued? How many of the new OS features are consumer oriented? Jim
