This article shows you how to make the computer equipped with Windows 10 correctly display Apple iPhone7 to take photos, the content is concise and easy to understand, it will definitely brighten your eyes. I hope you can get something through the detailed introduction of this article.

The photo gamut used by Apple's iPhone7/iPhone7 Plus is the DCI-P3 standard, which is more extensive than the sRGB gamut currently used by all Windows systems, including Windows 10. Therefore, when we see the picture of iPhone7 on the Windows10 computer, we feel that the effect is not very good, and the saturation is not enough. Generally speaking, we feel that the color is lighter or darker, because the computer does not know how to display the colors that cannot be displayed.

But it's not that hard, as long as you install the DCI-P3 configuration file and tell the computer how to display the gamut. It's important to note that Windows 10's default photo app doesn't support DCI-P3, and it's useless to install configuration files, so if you don't have other professional photo viewing software installed, it's a good choice to go back to Windows photo viewer. But the app is no longer available on the start menu, and Cortana won't find it for you, so IT House wants to talk about how to summon it in "Open mode" when opening an iPhone7 photo.

The specific methods are as follows:

1. Open the DCI-P3 configuration file downloaded at the end of the article directly (double-click once, or right-click to select "install configuration File"). There will not be any pop-up window in this process. Don't worry about not responding. Proceed directly to the next step after operation, as shown in the figure below.

2. Enter all the configuration files of → Color Management → in the control panel, and "Display P3" should be found at this time, indicating that the installation is successful, as shown in the following figure-

3. Enter regedit in the Cortana search bar and press enter to enter the registry editor

4. Navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ WindowsPhotoViewer\ Capabilities\ FileAssociations

5. Find the ".jpg" item on the right (without creating a new string value with the name .jpg), change the numerical data to PhotoViewer.FileAssoc.Tiff, as shown in the following figure--

Right-click on the jpg file (the default format for iPhone photos), and you will see the "Windows Photo Viewer" option in "Open with". When you open the file, you will see the correct photo, as shown in the following figure--

The following is a comparison of the effects of "Photo" and "Windows Photo Viewer":

"Photo" opens DCI-P3 color gamut photo effect

Windows Photo Viewer opens the DCI-P3 gamut photo effect

In view of the fact that not every computer will actively install DCI-P3 configuration files, in order to make iPhone7 photos look normal, you can take a compromise, that is, to convert these photos into sRGB gamut, but it is inevitable to slightly reduce the saturation of the original photos, because you have to lose the colors that sRGB cannot display, but you can ensure that the colors in the sRGB range are normal. It House takes Photoshop CS6 (each version is more or less the same, you can see at a glance) as an example to describe the conversion method:

1. After entering PS, open a DCI-P3 color gamut image

2. Select Edit → to convert to configuration file

3. Select sRGB IEC61966-2.1in the configuration file of "Target Space".

After clicking "OK", you will find that the color of the photo will be slightly dimmed, but it is still slightly better than opening the original photo on a computer that does not support DCI-P3 gamut. This conversion type is suitable for users who like to share photos so that the converted photos can be displayed more normally on more machines.
