Adobe RGB 1998 Workspace vs Image with embedded sRGB profile

I worked through countless published on the Web about various aspects of the profile settings of colors from all different angles. Obviously a difficult topic depending on how much you must understand.  For now, I have a question of several party who I would appreciate any feedback on of those in the know.  I'll try to summarize it briefly - it is simply in the default RGB color space setting in CS6 against opening an image that has a different embedded color profile.

Question

(1) is it interesting 'potential' to work in color space Adobe RGB 1998 if I open an image with an embedded sRGB profile and "preserve embedded profile?  I realize that any potential benefit could depend on the range of colors in the image itself - that is, where an image with color dull or limited range could not affected by any color profile or workspace is applicable.

(2) if my color default RGB in CS6 space is Adobe RGB 1998 and I open an image with an embedded sRGB profile, can I convert to Adobe RGB to take advantage of the widest range when working with the image.

(3) if I don't need to convert an Adobe RGB sRGB image to enjoy the widest range when changes but must register the image with an sRGB profile for purposes of production (out of print or Web presentation service):

3.1 should I make a copy of the image final and Convert to sRGB or I can just save as Jpeg and select sRGB for the profile to be integrated?

3.2 irrespective of how I save the final image with an sRGB profile, I would lose some advantage I might have seen while working in the Adobe RGB workspace?

I am not questioning if there is a good reason to work in sRGB vs. Adobe RGB (or ProPhoto) or under what circumstances it can matter - just trying to figure out a couple of mechanics I would work in Adobe RGB, but have a lot of things (slide previous scans etc.) than sRGB or some other built-in profile.

Also not to query the best camera settings as I am completely convinced the only way to go is to capture in RAW if the goal is a flexibility to work with the picture (I'm still shooting Fujifilm Provia 100F in my Nikon F6 but eventually will go with a good FX digital SLR when I can rotate - point being that all of the images that I work with is roughly slides scanned on my Nikon Super) COOLSCAN 5000 ED Scanner).

I understand that it is a topical subject (sRGB vs RGB etc.) and not trying to stimulate a wide debate on the issues.

Thanks for any thoughts you may have on this topic.

p.s. Here is a comparison of an image of the test case of 14 CS6 Adobe class-in-a-book.  "Rev00" on the left is the original image to sRGB included with the tutorial; "Rev01' on the right is the picture where I have first of all"affected"the Adobe RGB profile, and then (through ignorance, maybe, converted - profile Adobe RGB). I did that because I noticed that I simply convert RGB perceptual colors remain the same, so that if I have 'assign' RGB profile, I certainly get a slight pop at this image - may not be noticeable in this screenshot, but I can definitely see an improvement that I love watching them side by side on my Apple LED Cinema display 27 ".

That is right. If the file has embedded sRGB, Adobe RGB workspace is unnecessary and irrelevant. He never comes into play.

You can, however, convert the file in Adobe RGB if you plan to make a big change on that, and you think you might need the extra margin of a larger color space.

If you assign a profile (for an untagged document), there is not need to convert to the same.

  • Why the colour profile Adobe RGB (1998) get stripped when I save a TIFF as a psb?

    I say cab to incorporate Adobe RGB color profile (1998) when I generate a TIFF of DNG. So far so good: bridge shows the tiffs as tagged with Adobe RGB (1998) in the category of metadata "Color Profile". When I save a TIFF as a PSB (large Document Format), I leave ticked the box to incorporate that color profile. But once the backup completed, bridge shows the psb as "Untagged" in the category of metadata "Color Profile". Similarly, the 'Get Info' box, under 'Détails', lists no color profile for the psb. Is this normal? If Yes, then what is the best way to get the psb tag Adobe RGB (1998)? And if not, then how can I get Photoshop to successfully integrate Adobe RGB (1998) when I save the tiff as a psb in the first place? Thanks for your help! -Mark

    Your file is like most even when referenced, but Bridge preferences are set so that they do not deal with an overview on this large-format, so it turns non-marked. I bet that if you open the psb file and choose the drop down menu to display the color profile to the lower left of the document window, it displays the correct profile.

  • Profiling evidence broken with Adobe RGB 1998 color images

    I recently discovered a problem with Photoshop CS6 on my Windows 7 system. When you perform the proofing with "Proof colors" selected on the Adobe RGB 1998 color profile images there is loss of Red saturation. When checking the ProPhoto RGB, Colormatch RGB, and sRGB image files there is no difference with the same profile selected in the Conditions of proof options settings. This only happens with images Adobe RGB 1998. I even tried ProPhoto RGB, Adobe RGB images conversion to be sure that it is not a problem with the file. Problem with the Adobe RGB files.

    I just tried my PS 32-bit installationn and does NOT have this problem, just the 64-bit version.

    Here is an example:

  • Adobe RGB 1998 rendering TIFF apear dark in CS4

    I recently installed an update to CS4 on my Macbook Pro. CS3 is installed to the left for daily use up to this I have time to explore the CS4.

    In doing so, I noticed something strange. Although all preferences and color are the same, open the same file in CS3 and 4 gives a very different picture. I photograph with a Phase One digital back. The FIRST images are processed to TIFF by the latest version of Capture One. They wear so profile Adobe RGB 1998 (8BPC). CS3 and -4 are configured to the same profile, so there is no inconsistency when opening. There is only a small (and normal) visible difference between the Capture excerpt One and the TIFF-file open in CS3.

    Open the file in CS4 however gives a darker (about + 1.5 f-stop) and more saturated images. It has nothing to do with the two versions running at the same time.

    #1 details: activate the tab "version cue" the bottom says 'open' in CS3 and 'unmanaged file' in CS4

    Detail #2: activate 'warning of the range' shows no warning in CS3, while CS4 displays a large number of pixels "out of gamut".

    In addition, you may be able to use some Manager package provided with your distribution, search for icc profiles and there may be some that you can install.

  • Does make any sense to use Adobe RGB to process a photo taken in sRGB?

    On the one hand, it seems that color for any photo post-processing would be limited to information of color captured by the sensor.  You cannot work with information that isn't here.  For example, if the camera were to sRGB, sRGB information don't that would capture all the sensor.  Post processing in a larger color space like Adobe RGB, would be foolish.  On the other hand, I suppose it is possible that PS, during any process of development of color, could present me with ARGB options (i.e., options a wider color space) and map of smaller space (sRGB) to the largest (ARGB).

    As far as I know, most DSLRs offer sRGB or ARGB option.  However, I know there are those who value their color space ProPhoto in PS; so, there may be a post processing value in a color space that is larger than the space used by the camera to capture color information.   In case it is not obvious, I'm confused.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    If you capture images JPEG in sRGB then files are limited to smaller color space and cannot be extended to a larger range such as Adobe 1998 or ProPhoto color space.  If your RAW capture files then it's not what your profile settings of cameras are because the Raw files are just text information of your sensor which has not been made to the pixels even serious.  It's an essential difference.  If you open a RAW file in ACR you can render pixels in any color space.

  • How Lightroom handles images with a color profile in fact?

    Since the relevant help page:

    Lightroom simplifies color management by displaying colors using the device independent color spaces. This means that all you need to do before working in Lightroom is to calibrate your monitor. Then, when you're in Lightroom, choose color or color profiles settings when you are ready to output your photos. (In Lightroom color management )

    So. What actually happens? If a picture has, say, a Nikon sRGB profile not LightRoom it converted Adobe RGB (for the library module) and ProPhoto RGB for module progress? This seems to be the implication of the documentation, but it says nothing about a conversion.

    Basically, my question is - it recognizes the supplied profile?

    justinw86398615 wrote:

    Thanks by.

    While SHIPS go as you seem to say that indeed there is no color profile. Lightroom is just reads the raw data and assigns the ProPhotoRGB profile? There is no conversion. Values in only digital pixels?

    Right, there is no color profile. But something must be used to interpret the NAVE while converting from a raw file (just a bunch of values of levels of grey) typical, to become a recognizable RGB image. Read the digital pixel values is not enough without some sort of reference, and an ICC profile does not work on a raw file, so what happens is:

    Lightroom processes the raw numbers thanks to Adobe by default camera profile for your Nikon camera model. A profile of the camera is not the same as an ICC profile. This camera profile determines the initial appearance and the colors of an image raw before other development parameters are changed, so if you don't like the default look, you can choose a different camera (if available) profile or create your own. You can change the profile of the camera in the tab Calibration of the camera at the bottom of the right side of the develop module. Adobe camera profiles produce a look that is close, but not exactly what you would get showing the NEF in Nikon software or the raw file JPEG preview.

    After this initial conversion based on the camera profile, Lightroom will apply other settings default development module. In Lightroom, the result of this exists in the built-in color space Lightroom (ProPhoto RGB with curve of tone as sRGB) and then, finally, you see the end result through your (if all goes well to date) display the ICC profile.

    Thus, how your look of naves in Lightroom before editing it is affected by camera Adobe profile + default develop settings.

  • Should what color settings I choose for photoshop ProPhoto RGB, Adobe RGB 1998 or other?

    Please tell me what color settings should I use to apply on Photoshop and Lightroom. ProPhoto RGB, Adobe 1998 or another? Thank you.

    If you work mainly for printing AdobeRGB seems a good choice, if you work primarily for the web, I would recommend to use sRGB.

    IthacaAuthor (aka ZorbaTheGeek, but the forum wouldn't let me connect with my old screen name)

    Virtually all digital printing is done via PostScript or PDF. In the first case, the PDF file is converted to use viat PostScript to Acrobat and in the latter case, the PDF file is sent directly to the digital printer.

    In both cases, CMYK is actually the real destination color space. There is no true RGB printer! What is true is that non-PostScript / non PDF (laser printers generally low range and inkjet printers as well as specialized sublimation photo printers inkjet and dye) take RGB via drivers and that convert to CMYK, but I don't think that's what you deal with.

    Our recommendation to Adobe for best printing results, whether for offset or digital, is to export PDF into PDF/X-4 with no color conversion using the default color CMYK (CMYK SWOP) space or if the contrary view of your print service provider, among other CMYK color spaces provided by Adobe or the print service provider themselves. FWIW, more peripheral to digital print on demand, have settings to fully emulate the SWOP CMYK printing requirements. The use of PDF/X-4 in this way allows the existing color in your document InDesign is properly tag in the output PDF file and converted to CMYK RIP the device level digital printing.

    (It may also help us if you can provide a pointer to the explicit instructions provided by your print service provider.)

  • Need help with the sRGB setting works correctly.

    After reading a lot of comments from all kinds of sources, I decided for my purposes, it is best to put my Photoshop CS4 in sRGB. The problem I have is that often if I drag and drop an image as a new layer on another image I get a warning asking me if I don't know I "want to convert colors to a destination document with a color profile that does not match the current RGB workspace?"  She continues to tell me that my source is sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1 and that my destination is Adobe RGB (1998) and that the work is sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1.   Given that I put my Photoshop under Edit > settings of colors of sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1 and I have my camera to sRGB color I wonder why the window tells me that my destination is Adobe RGB (1998).  I initially shot in RAW and then open my photos in Camera Raw in Bridge and when I'm done with whatever changes, I want to do I simply 'Open Image' which, of course, it will open in CS4 where colors, is once again, sRGB.  What else do I need to change to get all operating under colour adjustment sRGB?

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    The color camera setting applies only to JPEG files as you shoot.

    If you shoot in RAW, then your image has a color space that is applied until you open it in Photoshop.

    At the bottom of your Camera Raw window is a hot blue link. Click it to open the workflow Options.

    Here, you can change the color space, Bit depth. Size and resolution that your image open in Photoshop.

    These settings in ACR to override settings you have for your default color space in Photoshop

  • Publication of a pdf document, Adobe RGB-v-sRGB is a problem?

    Hi people,

    I use InDesign CS5 to produce a Yearbook photo to our photo club. The printer asked me to provide the subject done in PDF format.

    I need to know, what the properties of color (Adobe RGB / sRGB) of an original image have an impact on the final result?

    I ask because the images will be provided from a variety of sources and will probably in all kinds of formats/color, spaces etc..

    If I need to convert all to one or the other, what I need to do this as a batch process in Photoshop or is possible in InDesign?

    I know my way around image editors, but this edition is all new to me. Any advice greatly received.

    See you soon,.

    Eugene.

    Ask the printer what PDF preset, he would like to be able to use in InDesign.

    There are several print streams: some printers have no difficulty with a PDF file with RGB images with embedded profiles. They tend to have more recent material. Commercial printers may be useful to use the preset PDF/X-4, which would preserve RGB profiles in your project. In general, which would produce the best result. (For example, a lot of progressive printers use Adobe PDF engine rocks for which this is true).

    Other commercial printers have older CPUs of PostScript. They want to convert RGB to CMYK and flatten transparency. He may ask you to use the PDF/X-1 profile. That will do the conversion for you and throw the RGB profiles.

    Best answer: get more information from the printer.

  • Calibrate vs Adobe RGB profile

    Hello!

    I am trying to get my printed canvases in a reliable way.   I photographed my paintings, the uploaded on PHOTOSHOP, edited and saved then their printed in a local print shop.  I did all this, but what print does not match my retouching photoshop/monitor of paintings at all.

    They told me that I need to get my monitor calibrated using a product called Spyder5Pro and then use display profile Adobe RGB 1998.

    I used the function of my iMac monitor calibration, but it created some weird colors for my monitor.  It also seems to create it's own display different from the profile Adobe RGB 1998 profile.  They seem to be mutually profiles!

    I have for the Spyder5Pro, but now I wonder if it will create its own profile to display, as different from the Adobe RGB 1998.

    How do I as well to calibrate my monitor AND use the Adobe RGB profile?

    My goal is to be able to create my own JPEG files for printing purposes, because I like editing my own photos of my paintings, and the cost of printing to scan my paintings and then colour correct them is crazy.

    Help!  ... and thank you!

    Fundamental reflections on the color management:

    My colors are different outside of Photoshop. | Error postal codes of Mylenium

    My printed colors are bad. | Error postal codes of Mylenium

    It is not one or the other, it is always the full mile. Once you "calibrate" anything, you will need to complete as a result. Yes, your Spyder will create a custom monitor profile and you must say PS in prrof installation methods and assigning your Adobe RGB to your document.
