![]() It is likely that their own viewing circumstances will be based on the assumption of sRGB (without any colour management to take care of anything to the contrary). It may be you will save out images for other people in sRGB regardless of your own wider gamut setup. In the latter case, you will need to make sure YOU only use colour managed applications (including web browsers) since otherwise you will be seeing wrong colours for the generality of websites, etc as well as for your own images if saved to sRGB. IMO it is best to either set your monitor to sRGB and leave it there, profiling accordingly, or set your monitor to AdobeRGB and leave it there, profiling accordingly. And they have currently got their monitor switched to the appropriate mode, and they have 'told' their computer this. But assuming everything is set up right, and using a viewing application which is aware of the difference and which makes use of the computer's current display profiling, you should be able to view AdobeRGB or sRGB images interchangeably apart from those few extended hues.īut those extended hues are only going to be visible to others properly, in the event that you print to a wide-colour workflow - or, in the event that you share with them a JPG saved under and labelled for AdobeRGB (not sRGB), and they have a monitor capable of AdobeRGB, and they are viewing what you've sent them in an application which detects and makes proper use of the wider gamut of the image and of their monitor. If you were to tell it to use a different monitor profile appropriate for the new mode, it would send the different RGB values that are needed in order to show colour in the way intended.įor hues that are within the overlap of the two colour schemes, and also for tonality (which differs between the two schemes also) the same outcome should then happen either way.Ī few intense hues that only the larger colour gamut can express, will be seen to intensify under AdobeRGB (but only provided those hues were present in your photo, of course). It doesn't know, so it continues to send the same RGB colour values. The computer isn't compensating in what it sends to the screen, for you changing its display mode. I work professionally but almost nothing I shoot is ever printed anymore, everything ends up on the web in some form so everything ends up as an sRGB jpeg, even though I obviously start out with raw files and 16 bit psd's if I'm retouching etc.Īm I wasting my time with the display set to it's A98 mode? Should I just use it set to sRGB? Unless I'm working with a file that has a lot of saturated color why would I see such a huge difference between the two display color spaces.? If I'm editing in LR and switch from A98 to sRGB viewing mode on the display, the image becomes desaturated (maybe like going -10 in LR), and overall the images seems 1/3 or 1/2 stop darker. ![]() What I'm trying to figure out is why there is such a big difference between the two color spaces. I do all my editing on a Mac in LR or Photoshop. I have calibrate the monitor using a Color Munki calibrator, once set to A98, and then another calibration when set to sRGB. ![]() I have a new wide gamut display (Benq SW2700PT) which has the ability to display in wide gamut Adobe 98, or by clicking a switch, in sRGB.
