Advertisement Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Hi keithd, Take a look here working colour space. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
250swb Posted August 13, 2013 Share #2 Posted August 13, 2013 If you are using .dng the colour space is determined when you process the image in Adobe Camera Raw (or whatever). It is only JPEG that needs the in-camera colour space setting, so set it to JPEG and it will be available in the menu. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted August 20, 2013 Share #7 Posted August 20, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) If you use Lightroom you are using Prophoto by default. In other editing programs I would advise Adobe RGB. Although Prophoto is wider, you may have some minor issues in reproducing colour as even quality monitors cannot render it. Note that once you have converted to a lesser colourspace it is useless to convert up again, as the out of gamut colours will have been lost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted August 20, 2013 Share #8 Posted August 20, 2013 There is an argument in some quarters for using Adobe RGB until the printing industry and monitors have caught up and can reproduce a full ProPhoto gamut. It means that at every stage what you see is what you get, rather than having a tiny amount of unseen and un-reproducible colour information floating about in the ether. In the future if it ever became vital that the small amount of lost colour was going to make a big difference to the image the .dng would need processing again in ProPhoto as and when technology allows you to see the results.

wlaidlaw Posted August 20, 2013 Share #9 Posted August 20, 2013 I use ECI RGB V2, not least as it gives better CMYK conversion for agency print work than either Adobe RGB or Prophoto. You can find the profiles here: eciRGB_v2 - the update of eciRGB 1.0 - Background information [ECI.ORG] Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted August 20, 2013 Share #10 Posted August 20, 2013 But do you use it as a working colour space or do you convert when finished, Wilson ?(imho the latter is the better workflow) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted August 20, 2013 Share #11 Posted August 20, 2013 But do you use it as a working colour space or do you convert when finished, Wilson ?(imho the latter is the better workflow) Jaap, I can detect no difference between working in Prophoto and then exporting to the slightly narrower ECI, to using ECI as my workspace, using C1 V.7 pro. I was hoping to have my study/digital darkroom back from being used as my grandson's bedroom by the time I got back to the UK in October. However now that my daughter and son in law have given up trying to find a replacement house they like, after the first one fell though and are going to build a new house themselves, it will probably be 18 months before I get it back. Meanwhile my new Canon 12 colour Pixma Pro 1, which apparently has the widest gamut in the market, is sitting unopened in its delivery box. I have not therefore been able to experiment. It was the agency print people I have been using (Marrutt UK), who requested I send them images in ECI-RGB V2 colourspace, from which they do the CMYK conversion with an Epson RIP engine.

mark_j Posted August 20, 2013 Share #12 Posted August 20, 2013 I use the Monochrom colour space and it is brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
