What colour space is your camera set at

*Clicker* · 09-15-2008, 07:19 AM

I use Adobe RGB myself as i like to produce my own test prints on my inkjet before sending out for a larger size (converted of course) till i get my own LF printer. Sometimes i forget to covert for web as with the group photo for the last GTA meet (sorry guys i just had that realization, hit me

)

I'm mostly curious for all the guys/gals that print large at a lab or at home

what colour space you have set on your camera.

Same goes for me. Because the camera has to be set on something, it's AdobeRGB but I don't use that. My working space is ProPhoto.

I hate AdobeRGB in K20D, because I can't prefix my filenames like K20Dxxxx.PEF, I lose one symbol... so I keep sRGB just for that reason

I use ProPhoto. I only convert to sRGB for posting on the web or for printing. I never use AdobeRGB for anything.

if you are using SilkyPix before photoshop for example you have to save
as sRGB or aRGB - so AdobeRGB might be better, not that you will notice the end result

I use Lightroom 2.0 and Photoshop CS3

so you guys have LR, PS and Silkypix load on your cameras?

*séamuis* · 09-15-2008, 02:00 PM

of course

I know what they are, but as a non pro user, it's a hassle to set all my equipment up. I did once get my screen calibrated to match my printer, but it was as much by fiddling than by use of the defined profiles.

Since I work on TFTs not CRTs, which can't reach much of the gamut anyway (and I'm not prioritising buying high-gamut screens at this minute), it's not so pertinant anyway. Keep toying with buying a Spyder to calibrate my monitor, but there's little point unless I upgrade it I guess.

Therefore my camera is set on whatever it was set on when it left the factory.
