sRGB or RGB Hi All, I have read several articles by the so called "pros" including some very well known ones, and they have differing opinions concerning sRGB and RGB. Some of the photos here at BP are so vivid and wonderful so I would like to know what my fellow BP folk think. I would appreciate any input. Thanks, Harriet Feagin

Hi Harriet, sRGB (s stands for standard) is the choice for most daily activities like web, printing and viewing on monitors. Any of the other color spaces based on RGB color model (like Adobe RGB 1998 and many more) can have advantages over sRBG only in high end use - high quality printing, magazines, etc. In that case you will probably be asked for a specific color space. Regards, Bojan

What you're loving about the vivid colours are probably due people increasing saturation or something similar than them doing something with color spaces. Wikipedia has something about colour space that's pretty good to read. But a very brief explanation is because the monitor and the print have to produce colour in different ways, additive versus subtractive, choosing or being aware of what colour space the image is in can be necessary so that something like red doesn't change to a pale red, or reddish blue, or anything else. So you work in a colour space so that what looks good on the monitor will look good on the print. And there's also colour that the eye can see versus what can be reproduced.
