Adobe RBG is better during post processing. If you do not post-process, and your printer is set up for sRGB, you do not gain anything by setting your camera to Adobe RGB. In any case, the thing to do is to check with your printer and ask what they color space(s) they are set up for. Hope that helps, - - Phong > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us]On Behalf Of lea > Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2003 5:56 PM > To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us > Subject: [Leica] digital Canon question > > > Since these days this seems to be a Canon/Leica list (oh happy day since > I shoot with both) I have a question I'm sure one of you can answer for > me. > > I shoot with a Canon 10D and up until this past weekend I've always kept > its color space on sRGB and gotten lovely prints with no manipulation in > Photoshop. > > After doing some reading I switched it to RGB (Adobe 1998) believing > this to be a better color space for prints. > > I did a shoot this weekend in RGB (Adobe 1998) and am disappointed with > the results...they are rather flat looking images with a noticable blue > cast.
