Hi all... Need some advice.

Ok, what the differents between Adobe RGB, sRGB and prophoto. What i've learned was adobe RGB better for priniting coz their color is more wider (or something like that). And sRGB better for monitor viewing and maybe for printing. While prophoto will have better color range compared to Adobe n sRGB. But Im not sure when to use it.

1. What should i use for photo normal printing at camera shop. Normally i use Adobe, but when customer look at the result at the monitor, they said that Adobe RGB result is not good enough.. Any suggestions?

sRGB - Color a bit better than Adobe RGB when i view it at my monitor.


Adobe RGB


Prophoto



2. What color/ICC adobe use for their 'Save for web'?

*Create using adobe save for web.

for websites. Use sRGB is enough already.

AdobeRGB has more color information than sRGB. Though sRGB looks more saturated. But a certain test can reveal its weakness. I use AdobeRGB. But i read an article that adobeRGB is not that suitable for web galleries. Its far more to printing.

That's my little knowledge for these two colorspace.

Tq, R a D ! c 4 L

Is it worthit mytime to convert hundreds of photos from sRGB to Adobe for printing? Is there any big different? Anyone try?

hmmmm... Its up to you. But an article i read in the mag said that its better to preserve the color information inside. If u edited in sRGB then leave it that way. If u convert to AdobeRGB, chances are that your color data will be lost. So, you get the idea.

There's nothing good and bad for either two actually. Most pros uses adobeRGB because of the large color space than sRGB. Some even refered sRGB "StupidRGB" because of the lack of color space. To them sRGB is just the surface color only.

But with sRGB you can also produce good photos. There's nothing bad about them.

To me sRGB is just "keep it that way". Hehe, then AdobeRGB for further editing. If u want to use AdobeRGB. Set the color space settings inside your camera to AdobeRGB instead of sRGB.

very helpful indeed luke..

Adobe RGB has more color in its gamet.
But sRGB is also good enough.
Just remember to edit it in the same color space that you shot.

^yup, very important. Don't forget to proof the colors to your monitor if you are post processing in photoshop. The recommended color profile is Adobe RGB if you intend to PP.

Thank you guys

Maybe after this i need to compare one by one. Monitor and printout. To suit what i need.

If u want to get the closest matching printout, u'll need to calibrate both ur monitor & printer.

Just be aware that not all printers can print out the full gamut of colours that Adobe RGB provides. Only super high-end printers can do that.

I thought printers only do CMYK? o_O

Compare a print with what you have on your monitor? First, you have to make sure your monitor is displaying the colours accurately before you do that. How to do that? The web has alot of articles on that.
