ProPhoto RGB is much, much wider than Adobe 1998. I'm glad you're using 16-bit files as 8-bit could be prone to posterisation. > I save that original.

If you're worried about exceeding the ink/paper gamut, you can use the gamut warning in Photoshop (you'll need to set up the soft-proofing settings first). Note that the Generic RGB profile is actually quite small (its gamut is almost identical to that of sRGB). The method I use is pretty much the opposite of yours: I do the colour management in the Photoshop "Print with preview" dialog, and switch off colour management in the printer driver. Still works OK :) - Dave -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
