HDR display support on Photoshop

HDR display is now supported in Photoshop on macOS and Microsoft Windows.

For systems using macOS, the setting will be on by default.

For systems using Windows, the setting will be off by default and must be enabled by the user.

There are also certain display settings that must be set before full functionality of the feature is achieved. Follow these steps to ensure the proper settings are enabled, depending on the display and operating system setup:

  1. Go to System Settings > Display > Presets on your HDR display or build-in Apple laptop display.

  2. Select the Apple XDR Display (P3-1600 nits) preset.

  3. In Photoshop, HDR display should be on by default, but go to Preferences > Technology Previews > Precise color management for HDR Display to confirm the box is selected. 

macOS with a non-Apple HDR display
