Question

Using HDR display

I would like to use an HDR display with photoshop and also premiere in the future. Will the program automaticly set itself to output 10 bit color to the display or will I have to enable some settings?

also I plan on getting an AMD Firepro W9100 graphics card and I'm unsure weather it supports HDR in photoshop.

on the AMD fourum someone said it did not support 10 bit color in windows but that it supports app speciffic HDR, and on a Youtube video It was mentioned as supporting HDR so I'm really confused.

    Hi

    To use 10 bit then you need a card that supports it (I believe the Nvidia Quadro's do, I am not sure about the AMD FirePro) and a monitor that also supports it. Then you should bve able to check it in Preferences >Performance Advanced.

    Note : If you are getting a wide gamut display then good colour management is essential> That means getting a calibration device that will build a profile to tell Photoshop and other colour managed applications the exact way your monitor will display colour.

    well a wide gammut sounds nice, the main thing is that I want to actually produce HDR content and push the whites and colors to be brighter than on a normal display. I am not interested in print at all, just editing video and images meant for beeing viewed on HDR displays, does such color-calibration devices work with monitors that have a much higher contrast of brightness levels?

    Hi

    Video monitors are still calibrated to standards.

    In addition, Photoshop will display everything you view through the monitor profile. If that does not match your monitor it will not be displaying correctly.

    So yes a device to calibrate then profile your monitor is valid.
