Color profile mismatch

I made a file with Rec. 2020 in photoshop. I then tried to paste a section from a picture .heic which came from the S23 Ultra. It says:

Paste Profile Mismatch:
Are you sure you want to convert colors to a destination document with a color profile that does not match the current RGB working space?

Source: DCI-P3 D65 Gamut with sRGB Transfer
Destination: Rec. ITU-R BT.2020-1
Working: sRGB IEC61966-2.1

I would like to paste parts of an image from the iphone 14 pro as well, which uses DCI-P3. What should I do? I would like to have the highest possible quality from both phones in one file/document. It's for a youtube video which will be exported at 8K ProRes 4444xq.

It's a normal message, not an error. Just choose what you want to do, and continue. Most of the time, converting is the right thing to do, unless you know an image has the wrong profile.

@Jonas30518788gdux Yes, convert the incoming image files to the destination colour space.

Personally I recommend users to keep the "profile mismatch" warning checked - because I want them to understand what's happening. In your case a conversion is needed and you see that in the warning.

I hope this helps

It will be fine to allow the conversion from P3 to Rec.2020. Because Rec.2020 is much larger than P3 in almost all dimensions, little to no color data should be lost, and the profiles will be used to preserve color appearance. When using a gamut as large as Rec.2020 there may be a higher risk of stepping or banding in gradients and transitions, but that risk is reduced if editing at a higher bit depth, such as a 16 bits per channel document.

What color gamut will you select for the final video, is this an HDR video, and how future-proof does it need to be?

If it’s for a current topic, it’s an SDR video, and there will be little interest in watching it 5 years from now, then mastering in DCI-P3 is certainly good enough.

Mastering and submitting to YouTube as Rec.2020 appears to be required if it’s an HDR video. If it isn’t HDR, then there is much less reason to master in Rec.2020 unless the video is expected to be viewed well into the future and possibly viewed on future displays with wider color gamuts than DCI-P3.

Because this topic is ultimately about YouTube video delivery and this is a Photoshop forum (mostly focused on still images), you may get better answers asking in a YouTube forum or in a forum for the software you will use to edit the video.

Hi. I'm doing a comparison video between iPhone 14 Pro and S23 Ultra. These images contains HDR metadata and I would like to offer anybody with an HDR capable display to watch these images in HDR. Will that require me to use Rec.2020?

So I'll be carrying the dunce hat here 😉

But anyway, converting from a small color space to a larger one is never a problem. You don't gain anything, but you don't lose anything either.

And yes, take this to the Premiere Pro forum, or DaVinci resolve, etc.

Should I convert the images from 14 Pro and S23 Ultra to rec.2020 or will that introduce other issues?

The message itself tells you nothing useful and my general advice is to disable it permanently. As long as there is an embedded profile, it will be correctly converted in the paste. The working space has no relevance to any of it.

I don't know why you want to use Rec.2020. There are no display devices made today capable of representing all of it. DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB cover about half of it - so you will in any case not lose anything.

Thanks for the reply. I just want to make sure that no data from the images of the iPhone 14 Pro and the S23 Ultra is lost. You mean I can use DCI-P3 and not lose any information?
