I just want to express my gratitude for finally, fully embracing wider gamuts. I've been eagerly awaiting this day (and have a group all set up to show them off - https://www.flickr.com/groups/2234658@N22/).

Questions:

1. To the extent reprocessing is necessary, will that be done automatically (e.g. as it is for photos originally uploaded at full resolution, and now being displayed at 5K)?

2. Do all mobile OSs provide the color profile management necessary for the app to properly display photos? I know this was a challenge in the past.

3. Will there be any indication a photo is outside of sRGB, aside from EXIF?

P.S. - I'm sure you're aware, but there's a (closed) group of alpha/beta users (https://www.flickr.com/groups/flickrbeta/) always eager to help provide feedback.

1. Should be automatic. Still testing, but looking fantastic so far.

2. The coverage across modern OSes, browsers, and devices is incredibly high, and increasing daily, or we wouldn't be finally pulling the trigger. (I've wanted to do this for 16 years!)

3. Hmm, hadn't thought about this. What did you have in mind?

That's all great to here. I was thinking that the color space could be listed within the little section below the photo summarizing the EXIF data (with little pictorials for aperture, lens, shutter speed, flash, etc.). That would make it a lot easier to know if you're seeing a photo as intended.
