I've just been reading that if you plan to do prints from your photos it is best to use Adobe RGB colour space in your camera settings (DSLR's) rather than sRGB to get a more 'true' colour because of a wider range of colours. I would like to hear peoples opinions on this and whether you agree or not? What settings do you tend to use?

Learn to set up the images to print and use Adobe RGB or a custom profile. sRGB is a very limited box of crayons.

If you're using a Canon, and use a Windows PC, check this out: //www.dpreview.com/news/0509/05091401ms_canoncolor.asp

With my canon pixma 8500, I found it better to disable all colour management and work in Adobe RGB. Now what I see on the screen is what I get in print. I also use a spyder to calibrate my monitor. Pictures are usually at 6500k, according to the spyder system. The problem is that most monitors only support the 9300k scale. Then you have LCD's and plasma screens that are equivalent in quality to CRTs from about ten years ago. You can change how your picture looks by moving your head a cm or two in any direction. Unfortunately it does not work the same way with your printout.
The new RAW image viewer from Microsoft in conjunction with the canon raw files can produce some amazing results right off the file with the pixma 8500 printer. |
