What monitor do you have? Is it color calibrated? Most decent monitors cover about 98% of the sRGB space. You have to go to more premium monitors to get to Abobe RGB or Pro at 100% coverage. The next question is about your printer. Ink? Paper? Color profile used? Most paper manufacturers provide profiled for their paper with factory ink. If you are using 3rd party ink with 3rd party paper you will need to create a color profile. Dyes offer more vivid colors than pigments (typically), but pigments have a longer life (typically).
If you want to get into color management then you need to create a color profile for your camera/lens combination. Calibrate your monitor, and you need a printer that is also profiled and has the color gamut you need. Why You Should Probably Use sRGB
Most people viewing your images on the web won't have any of this, so sRGB is your best bet for showing the general public. https://www.diyphotography.net/x-rite-announces-new-i1studio-end-end-colour-...photographers/ |
