LRTIMELAPSE SRGB OR ADOBERGB FULL
Since Adobe RGB squeezes colors into a smaller range, the full range represents a broader range of colors, if and only if you have the correct software to read it. Special smart software is then needed to expand the colors back to where they should be when opening the file. 709 primaries and a gamma of 2.2, same as most kinds of HDTV.)Īdobe RGB squeezes colors into a smaller range (makes them duller) before recording them to your file. That gobbledygook means the same thing as sRGB. SRGB is specified in IEC 61966-2.1, which you may also see when examining color profiles. Use sRGB and you'll automatically get great, saturated and accurate color everywhere. Like what you see in my Gallery and the top grad (widest rainbow) above? That's all coming to you in sRGB. Use sRGB and you'll get great, accurate colors everywhere all the time. So long as you haven't screwed with anything, you and the world are shooting in sRGB. SRGB is the world standard for digital images, printing and the Internet. if you do this correctly, both prints will look almost identical. Most of what you'll see will be colorspace conversion artifacts. Want to try it yourself? Steal the image above, assign it the profiles of your choice, and print away. I didn't see any of these printers have the ability display any of the extra gamut potentially represented by Adobe RGB. I saw no real gain of any wider gamut in practice, even with these special tests. I saw the same color range in print with each colorspace. If you do, the colors are duller.Ģ.) I've made Lightjet, Fuji Supergloss and inkjet prints of 100% saturated ramps in both color spaces. You cannot use Adobe RGB on the internet or for email or conventional photo lab printing. Make one mistake anyplace and you get dull colors, or worse.
LRTIMELAPSE SRGB OR ADOBERGB PROFESSIONAL
If you're one of the few a full-time career professional photographers left standing and shoot for print, by all means shoot Adobe RGB, but if you're a very serious amateur, beware.Īdobe RGB theoretically can represent a wider range (gamut) of colors, however:ġ.) Adobe RGB requires special software and painstaking workflow not to screw it up. If you really know what you're doing and working in publishing, go right ahead and use it. Use it and everything looks great everywhere, all the time.Īdobe RGB should never be used unless you really know what you're doing and do all your printing yourself. Using Adobe RGB is one of the leading causes of colors not matching between monitor and print. sRGB gives better (more consistent) results and the same, or brighter, colors. After some experimentation, even I discovered that default sRGB was plenty for everything I did, and eliminated the chance for grave errors.Īdobe RGB is irrelevant for real photography. The industry copied us and the word lives on.ġ0 years ago when I was able to start doing this at home I also was all excited about Adobe RGB and a slew of other whacky, innovative color spaces. TRW LSI was a small, ultra-creative division of TRW, and I got away putting the same mirth I use on this website into the datasheets I wrote. I was only kidding, but the word is still used. I also coined the word "gigacolors," for use with 36-bit and 48-bit color data. Did you know I conceived the world's first dedicated digital colorspace converter chip, the TMC2272, back in 1990 when I worked at TRW LSI Products? I've been working with the matrix math, hardware and software that does this for decades. The same old-wives-tale about Adobe RGB having a broader range of colors has been circulating on the internet since the 1990s. It helps me publish this site when you get yours from those links, too. Same ramp in Adobe RGB as seen as on the Internet.
