question about Gamut warning

[mantra]

Hi
i shoot in raw with my 30D or 350D

well i import my photos in lightroom i give a tweak in the develop module and export to photoshop cs3 to resize ,or to make short add on

well i export in rgb or adobe color space

but often i see my colors are out of Gamut

this mean that i can't print this tone of color ( for example a tone of green) with my printer

but in a studio , where i let them print my photo , the out of gamut has a sense?

in short the gamut warning work only with my printer , or is a genral rule??


thanks

The gamut warning is very specific to the proofing profile. Your home printer will have a different gamut (range of colour) to your lab.

You should be able to ask your lab for a profile to use for accurate soft-proofing.

So? Ask them. They should be able to provide you their profile.

ok
in this lab often i meet salesgirl, saleswoman , they know nothing about profile


which profile do u advises to me?

I can't advise a profile, since I don't know what hardware they use... ;)

Maybe use a different lab? Or send the file in sRGB, as that is most common & expected mostly.
