Ever since I bought iPhone I just realize daily how much better is everything solved there. Yes they have it easier but still.
Heh I have two of the best, most expensive Windows laptops in a world. And they can't even keep stable WiFi driver no matter what :- D And how on earth is WiFi driver capable of BSODin the whole system?
Given majority of my clients are US based, I can sleep soundly knowing that if I send them TIFF file with embedded sRGB or wide-gamut DCI-P3/AdobeRGB, I know they will see it correctly. Whereas in Windows, the main photo app (the main one!!) doesn't even support doing that properly.
The only way to have usable experience in Windows across full range of apps, is the NoVideo (just for nVidia) sRGB (it can do others too, incl. ICC) app from Github which superimposes color-profile onto everything, superseding Windows Color Management. This one:
https://github.com/ledoge/novideo_srgb It works on laptop too, but you have to disable Optimus and only run dedicated nVidia card.
Windows can't even do HDR well, it can't do color-management well, list just goes forever. How little improvement has Windows11 brought to table is not even worth ranting over :- ).
And 3dsMax only having single gamma value that's also hilarious. I think it's the only DCC app without CC. While I am not such big fan of the VFX influence forcing ACES and .EXR and etc.. at least it will standardize CC across apps. All I wanted was just capability to display with ICC and save with color-profile from framebuffer, ideally in Adobe DNG format.
Ah man, feels good to shit on this topic :- )
