    Converting images to a media profile
    on: February 27, 2024 at 5:56 pm

    Thanks for the responses. I would never set the profile to sRGB but currently use Adobe RGB as thats what Canon recommends. My skepticism with Pro Photo RGB is it would be working in a color space where I cant see the full profile on my screen.

    I’ll check the video links out, thank you.

    Hello community!

    I recently was part of a discussion on Reddit that led me to DPreview, and now im here! There were differing opinions in both places and would love your input.

    I was scolded for telling someone that submitting images in the Adobe RGB color space for print from an inkjet fine art print shop was a good idea. I was first told it should ALL be in CMYK which seems very odd as the printer manufacturers specifically say the machines are setup for RGB input and do the conversions within the drivers.

    So I took that info to DPReview to see what people there said. Without answering my question it veered into a different discussion saying that you should actually convert the files into the ICC profile for the media and machine you are printing with. I have never heard this. Every professional Ive talked to prior to this discussion has agreed with the Adobe RGB workflow I use. But looking at the media profiles in a graph and seeing the bits of color they can produce outside of Adobe RGB has me curious. It would of course be too complicated to do this with every single customer I have, having them edit and submit files in these specific color spaces, but im curious for example when I photograph an art piece for print, when I take the file from Pro Photo RGB into PS to do you all advise taking it into Adobe RGB or the specific media profile?

    Thanks!

    Jesus that would make my life so much easier. If the red would work for me it’s a possibility.

    I tried the whole profiling process again and got the exact same awful results. Profiler is going back and I will pay for profiles to be done in the future.

    Thank you so much for your help through this nightmare!
