# defaultPreferredImageDynamicRange

The default preferred image dynamic range.

## Declaration

```swift
class var defaultPreferredImageDynamicRange: NSImage.DynamicRange { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This property defaults to NSImage.DynamicRange.constrainedHigh on macOS 14 and higher, and NSImage.DynamicRange.standard otherwise. Set this property to another NSImage.DynamicRange value to change the default for all subsequently created image views in your app.
