Hello PDML, I came across this article: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/prophoto-rgb.shtml which is about color management. The author states that current DSLR cameras can produce colors that don't fit into the AdobeRGB color space. This is based on some ICC profiles used by Capture One and presuming that: "Camera Raw within Photoshop does the same thing, except that it does so behind the scenes."
His conclusion: "What does this mean? Simply, that if you are using the Adobe RGB colour space with a Canon 20D, for example, (and this applies to virtually every other DSLR on the market), you are not getting a lot of the deep saturated colours that the camera's sensor is capable of capturing." While I'm still learning color management, I have some doubts about this. AFAIK two color spaces are commonly supported in digital camreas: sRGB and AdobeRGB. If I set a camera to XY color space, I would not expect to get colors which are outside of that color space. Maybe with some very wild image manipulations one could manage to hit the limits of AdobeRGB, but I doubt that such an image would print well. So does this article have any valid points? -- Attila -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
