Producing sRGB thumb for Adobe print?

04/21/2007 05:28:37 PM · #1

I need to produce sRGB thumbs for prints I have worked up in Adobe. Do people have an action to produce a similar color scheme in sRGB after working up the shot in Adobe? In other words, is there a constant relationship between the two? Could I do something as simple as a hue shift to get a similar look?

I'd love to know how people have tackled this who sell prints online.

Bump, although I may have better luck on Monday...

OK, now I bump for the Monday smarties who do their DPCing at work...

Help me people! Someone must have had this issue before.

You could try "save for web". That should convert to sRGB, hopefully keeping the colours looking the same.

Decent idea, but I don't think it works. We have threads coming through every month or so asking why the colors on their submissions look "washed" out. usually its a color space problem. I'll see what it looks like though.

As part of an action you could convert to sRGB then save for web.

Or use the web gallery generation process to create the thumbnails. I know it's a little overkill but I think you may have more control over the size and quality of the thumbnails.

It isn't necessarily a problem of doing it, but rather getting an accurate representation of what the print looks like. I've noticed, for example, magentas really fade when switching from Adobe to sRGB. I'm looking for techniques to try to recapture some of the color. I know it's not going to be exact as, I believe, sRGB is a smaller space than Adobe, but one must be able to do something to try to regain some vibrancy.

Perhaps for those photos you'd get a better result with a different rendering intent, try saturation instead of perceptual.
