sRGB or adobeRGB
which one are you using, just curious? thank you Peter Jan 17 08 10:50 pm Link depends what your shooting...i use both!

(i.e., you can represent a wider range of colours, but the steps between adjacent colours increases, possibly giving banding.) If you go with a wide gamut (such as aRGB or ProPhoto) it is wise to also use 16-bit rather than 8-bit. Jan 17 08 11:15 pm Link I shoot everything in AdobeRGB but switch color space to sRGB1998 when printing through a lab or creating images for web work. If you're printing through a lab or you have your own printer you need to find out what the device can handle. Typically, with labs, such as Ritz, they are printing with Fujitsu printers and the color space is sRGB so if you give them an AdobeRGB file the color space is being clipped anyway and the print will look dull or dark. For your home device it's all in what options you set up and you can print fine from AdobeRGB but again it's user options. Jan 17 08 11:17 pm Link Opps! that should have been sRGB. Jan 17 08 11:18 pm Link I shoot in RAW, but at conversion time I choose ProPhoto and 16 bit. Jan 17 08 11:20 pm Link I generally edit in prophoto after shooting raw, but .... it all comes down to what your printer supports. Also for posting things on the web, the color space is different too.

Jan 17 08 11:59 pm Link I shoot in RAW+Jpeg. For the benefit of the JPEG images, I shoot in sRGB. Once a RAW images is sucked into Photoshop, I edit in Adobe RGB and leave it that way. Jan 18 08 12:01 am Link AdobeRGB (16 bits) but if I have a choice of 32 bits? I would use 32 bits. Jan 18 08 12:01 am Link AdobeRGB for shooting and printing, sRGB for web Jan 18 08 12:05 am Link Thyronne wrote: Ditto. Color space works well when used where it is intended to be used! Jan 18 08 12:17 am Link The OPs question is a bit like "do you use the Ferrari or the F150?" Depends upon whether I'm takin' the babe out for a picnic or hauling a load of firewood. I'd like him to flesh that question out a bit before I try to answer him, wouldn't you? The most common interpretation of his intent is "what space do you shoot in." Alternatives would be "what space do you work in" or "what space do you output to." In my case, I shoot RAW+JPG most of the time, and when importing to PS, turn 'em into ProPhoto and 16 bit. They often wind up in sRGB at print time, and certainly when posted to the web. The JPGs from RAW+ are assigned Adobe by the camera, which better fits the actual sensor abilities. Jan 18 08 09:02 am Link Most camera are defaulted to sRGB because it looks good on monitors and TVs. Adobe RGB is a wider colour spectrum. -- better for printing -- I only use that. Jan 18 08 09:05 am Link I shoot sRGB when I'm shooting B&W which is about 90% of the time. Jan 18 08 09:15 am Link Shoot in Adobe RGB. Use Adobe RGB for prints (much wider color gamut). Convert to sRGB for web use (colors pop more). Michael Jan 18 08 09:17 am Link Ought To Be Shot wrote: Ditto. Jan 18 08 09:27 am Link Not to cut off the OP, but wouldn't it be a little backwards to change from a lower color space to a higher color space. Say from sRGB to Adobe RGB?

You put in your color spaces and it makes a 3D cube of color spaces. Jan 18 08 09:47 am Link studionewmarket wrote: sRGB Jan 18 08 12:15 pm Link ChristerArt wrote: sRGB IS all that *I* need. AdobeRGB's colors are flat and boring. Jan 18 08 12:19 pm Link I shoot RAW, edit in either ProPhoto or AdobeRGB in 16-bit. Lightroom converts to sRGB for the web when I export. Jan 18 08 12:20 pm Link I shoot raw, final image is sRGB since I output to printers with a similar gamut. Jan 18 08 12:31 pm Link I shoot in adobeRGB and shoot Raw. I set photoshop to printer specifications. If I am doing the printing I set the work area to the icc profile for the paper and printer I am using. The lab I work with locally provided me with their icc profile. Jan 18 08 02:10 pm Link I always shoot in Adobe RGB, 16bit RAW format. Retouch, and then convert to srgb, 8bit jpg. Far less data loss this way. Jan 18 08 02:16 pm Link Raw using ProPhoto RGB in 16 bit for printing converted into Adobe RGB and for web display converted into Srgb Jan 18 08 03:34 pm Link I shoot in treshold : process in 32 bit / channel HDR .WORKS FOR ME. Jan 18 08 03:55 pm Link I shoot in AdobeRGB1998 in RAW, use Lightroom for management, so output for web I convert to sRGB Jan 18 08 05:36 pm Link There is no one perfect for all uses color space. If your end product is to post online or send it to a lab that will print it on a halide based paper then it should be in sRGB since that is the space best suited for those. If all you want to do is look at it in photoshop or another program that can utilize the adobe or pro RGB spaces with 16 bit then use those spaces. The only printer I have come across that does a great job with those spaces and bit depth is the Z series from HP. If someone sends me a file in those spaces and bits, then they have to tell me up front so that I can set the HP printer preferences for that. Other wise it's a total disaster of a final print. If they want a halide print from our other printers, then it has to be converted to 8 bit since that is the only thing they can understand. And if it's in any other space besides sRGB then the colors will suffer due to the interpretation by the software. Not meaning to dodge an answer, but it all depends on what the end product will be. Jan 18 08 06:47 pm Link Raw to sRGB, My lab uses it, the net uses it, why bother with a colour space you can never (in my instance) reproduce... Jan 18 08 07:14 pm Link AdobeRGB it just looks better  Jan 18 08 07:19 pm Link Downtown Pro Photo wrote: I don't print much but the 8x10 landscape came out true to what my monitor shows.
