    Neil, thanks for the helpful posts. Can you confirm something for me? I think I understand, but am not quite sure.

    1) I'm running Premiere on an iMac Retina 5k set to its default color profile. When I enable "Enable Display Color Management" within Premiere, the Premiere viewers are now compensating for the iMac's color profile, so that what I see in the Source and Program windows are Rec 709. Is that right?

    2) In the above scenario, am I looking at Gamma 2.2 or Gamma 2.4 within Premiere?

    Pr is attempting to adapt the internal monitor displays to the Mac P3, but some other users have reported varying success rates with this to "pretty ... ok ... " to " ... um ... not a help ... ".

    The best results have been had by folks going into their Mac OS display settings and finding the Rec.709 settting, and using that.

    Pr is working internally assuming gamma 2.4.

    Ok, thank you. So "Enable Display Color Management" means that Premiere is noting that my iMac is running a P3 profile, and then at least trying to compensate for that in order to show me Rec 709 within Premiere.

    When I do this, and I also enable "Use Mac Display Color Profiles" in Resolve, with Rec 709 2.4 projects, I get very similar color between Resolve and Premiere, and pretty close to VLC. It doesn't match what I see in Quicktime or on Vimeo at all, but one battle at a time...

    Thanks ... I've never been a big curves fan, and especially with that big Elements panel on my desk I like the tools ported to that.

    But those new curves make using the HSL panel unnecessary for many clips, and process faster.

    They're some of the slickest curves I've used.

    Hi,

    looking forward to using the new color settings! In the preferences: Enable Display Color Management

    is grayed out for me :-(

    There is a little note saying that "this feature requires GPU acceleration"  which is wonderfully non-specific.

    Which GPU is required?

    thanks

    13.x moves forward on gear supported for two reasons: manufacturers and the OSs have moved forward and trying to get stability they're removing extra code that is only used by a smaller percentage of total user base.

    I've seen the cutoff for 13, but don't recall precisely. Might be the 900 series for Nvidia. I know no 600 cards are supported.

    I'm using an NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 2080.

    It seems to work for most things, e.g. rendering is quite happy with it but I was really hoping for Display Color Management to work :-(

    I think I will post this as a separate topic as it might get a bit lost buried in here.

    On a pc with good calibration of sRGB monitors set for video sRGB, you wouldn't see much change and might be not the right choice.

    This option will do the most for Macs with P3 monitors, help some with PCs with certain monitor setups.

    I don't know that card, and am at Max so just on my phone.
