I am very confused, sRGB or Adobe RGB?
There seems to be a definitive answer to what color space to fire in me for a response from photographers, and a printer. Ken Rockwell and others say they always use sRGB. My instructor, as well as many web articles, for example shooting Adobe RGB and convert when necessary. So, can someone answer this simple question: I want to produce great prints, 8×10 or larger, for sale as matte photos, landscapes, destinations, etc, where If the presentation of magazines and postcards. I also want to produce calendars and posters. All this is carried out through a print service have not yet been selected. Therefore, we expect a professional printer of Adobe RGB or sRGB for this type of work? I understand that sRGB is foolproof, but rarely publish on the web. COLOR SPACE THAT I HAVE TO THROW IN?
I also struggled with this for some time. I found that there are a lot of "opinions" out there, and even for many does not really seem to understand the difference between sRGB and Adobe RGB. You will be pleased to know that there is a definitive answer. (Although it is not easy.) SRGB is the Web standard, and tends to be the default option for peripherals such as monitors and home printers. If your photos are intended for the Internet, then must be converted to sRGB. The problem is that sRGB has a narrow range (range of colors.) It is good that the computer screen, but print quality is at risk losing detail in highly saturated color parts of the image. (A red rose is the classic example.) For printing, you really should use Adobe RGB, as it has a wider range (color gamut). All professional printers should be able to handle – and probably will wait until – RGB color or range of profiles. Adobe's range, however, This does not mean you can rely on the professional printer to get it right! I ran some tests and I suspect that many photo printers high street treat everything as sRGB, simply because that is what most casual snappers are using (but not Comment I know) So the best thing to do is: – 1) Make sure you use a printer professional, not just "happy snaps" 2) Make sure the color profile is embedded in the photo but it is essential not) 3) When you send something to a printer, inform them that their files are Adobe RGB. (In short, if the instructor has reason to shoot in Adobe RGB and convert to sRGB when needed. (Vale is worth noting that if you shoot in RAW format, you can change color profile after the fact, without loss of quality. This is one of the many reasons for the format RAW instead of JPEG) Hope this helps you produce some great looking better! Paul
