So, lately i've been doing a lot of research to truely understand color space and for the most part i've found the majority of information consistant. Doesn't mean its always right, just means "more people have heard it and repeated it"
So to my understanding(and please correct me if i'm wrong):
Keeping color space constant from Point A (camera setting) to point B (Method of presentation) is crucial to accurately displaying colors as intended
(i.e) Shoot in sRGB, Lightroom/photoshop set to sRGB, monitor set to sRGB ect
Adobe is the dominant space for Printing.
I about about 75% web 25% print
My buddy works for Canon and does all my printing and his response was
"sRGB or Adobe is fine, usually print RGB. You can go with Adobe if you have bright yellows and greens or Dark reds and blues. Its a bigger gamut and our printers gamut matches it almost exactly"
So heres where a few of my questions come in (I tryed some searches before hand)
I've been shooting in sRGB the whole time, after reading about it a lot it was the factor of consitancy through out the work flow. Now i'm reading a book about the 50D that says to shoot in Adobe because its better to go from a large pallet to a smaller one, which makes sense. Later, just adjust the color space to sRBG in CS4/LR - My default in CS4/LR is sRGB. When I import in AdobeRGB will it automatically convert it to sRGB when imported? Or save as sRGB
I understand the idea of it just being embredded information but hard to grasp the overall function.
This is starting to get longer than I was expecting so i'm gonna stop now, and wait for some feedback and work from there.
