Jan 18 08 09:13 pm Link Seems to be some misunderstanding here about color space and bit-depth. Lots of info can be found online specifically for clarification. Long short: Someone above wrote about the 'know-it-alls' and mentioned Ken Rockwell. I agree, Ken is wrong about 'only' needing sRGB. But that's his call. He says a lot of things.... Color space: shoot AdobeRGB (1998). HUGE gamut. Convert to sRGB only when needing the images for web, multimedia (screen) CMYK color space used for printing. Note the above because changing color space does change the appearance of your image as colors are shifted to 'fit' into the smaller area. That's my 2 cents... Jan 19 08 01:28 am Link How do you convert to SRGB? If i upload adobe RGB to web, will that change how it's displayed on the web? Someone said lightroom automatically converts to SRGB when exporting. How do i stop this? Aug 12 09 05:00 am Link Karim I Photography wrote: If you use save for web in Photoshop it will convert to sRGB. Lightroom will do it automatically. You don't want to "stop this" if you're uploading to the web. If you upload Adobe RGB your images may look "flat" and the colors will be off, depending on which browser the viewer uses and how they have their machine set up. sRGB will display closer to what you see on your computer on the machines of your viewers.

So logically you would assume that AdobeRGB is "better". And that is true, but only if you can see it. A vast majority of monitors and printers cannot see the extra color available in AdobeRGB. Unless you have one of the very few monitors that can display the full AdobeRGB color gamut (like one of the Eizo screens), and use a printer that will print in the AdobeRGB color space, then it is totally a waste. I would hazard a guess that a large number of people here that advocate for the "better" AdobeRGB can't even see it on their own monitors. Aug 12 09 11:10 am Link once i leave lightroom it's sRGB into photoshop. aRGB can create headaches when you give files to others (like models).
