Adobe RGB, sRGB, other, and why?
06/29/2004 11:12:30 AM · #2
I proof everything in ezprints.icc now that I have it. :) Just so my prints are accurate. But I work in sRGB because it is the best way to proof for dpc and online use as far as I can see.

I use sRGB from camera to post since I do not want to change colorspaces more often than I need to.

For printing I will proof in CMYK, to see if there will be gamut problems.

Adobe RGB! I love the extra color(s) I get from it. It's easy to convert the file back to sRGB after the capture.

image -> mode -> convert to profile
file -> save as -> tiff (check the save with profile sRGB box)

Standard sRGB file with more vibrant color than would've happened capturing in sRGB
