Someone (Bob?) created an ICC profile for iPad developers. There's a link to it in the DPS manual pdf.

We're working in an Adobe RGB workspace and so far I haven't noticed a huge amount of variance in the output files. I presume their being converted to sRGB on output, but good profiling should help there.

Awesome. Guilty of skipping the important bits at the front! Thanks Bob Ps while your there, are you aware of a line of code that would stop the default in-app browser from actioning a response to a link within a web overlay?

I have experimented with some profiles, including the iPad.icc, and have come to conclusion that the closest (but not really appropreate) color profile is sRGB. I do not undestand why Adobe investing so many efforts to DPS and InDesign offers any solution for color management for digital publishing.

Hi Alistar, your iPad icc profile can be used also for iPad 3/4?

And can be also used for iPhone 4/5?

Many thanks again!

I believe this ICC profile was built from the original iPad. I couldn't say whether it's appropriate for other models.

Personally, I've told everyone at work not to get too concerned with ICC profiles since the iPad, as far as I am aware, does not interpret them when displaying colours on-screen. Embedding ICC profiles of any kind into images, therefore, is a waste of time and makes your image files needlessly bigger.

Instead, just as Alexey wrote above, stick to a basic sRGB workflow on your computers and you should suffer from fewer colour shift surprises on the iPad.

Anyway any profile for an iPad screen will work as a broken clock: It'll show the right time once.

Thinking that a huge set of shiny and finger-greased screens whose lighting levels are changed every now and then can be described in an accurate way with a general profile will lead to melancholy, as any other useless effort.

I am not saying that taking for granted that sRGB is mot quite a reasonable bet, on the contrary. It's perhaps the best "general" bet; but nothing more.
