Why it’s crucial for a client to make decisions in a calibrated studio?

Imagine you're painting a picture, but your glasses tint everything a bit blue. The painting might look great to you, but when you take off the glasses, the colors could be off. That's how crucial a calibrated display is when deciding on lighting and color grading. It ensures that what you see is what you truly get.

Now, what happens if you submit modification requests on an uncalibrated device? Well, it's akin to ordering a blue car and ending up with a purple one because the catalog you ordered from wasn't showing colors accurately. It can lead to unexpected results and might need more time and resources to fix.

As for the term "Rec.709 gamma 2.4", think of it as a recipe for how colors and brightness should be shown on a standard TV or monitor. It's the standard language that all devices use to display colors consistently.

In an HDR (High Dynamic Range) environment, things are a bit different. HDR allows for more details in the brightest and darkest parts of an image, making things look even more realistic. However, not all devices can display HDR content, and those that can may not do so in the same way. This is why calibration is even more important in an HDR environment.

Here's the crux: asking for revisions on a non-calibrated display is like trying to hit a bullseye with a blindfold on. You might get lucky, but chances are, it could lead to more work, miscommunication, and even some unintended artistic consequences.
