sRGB vs. Adobe RGB: Weigh In With Your Opinion
Posted by Jason Dunn in "Digital Home Talk" @ 05:31 PM
Did you figure out which was which before hovering over each one? The Adobe RGB image definitely is a better match to the actual yellow of the desk calendar. The sRGB image is darker and slightly over-saturated looking. The question becomes though, even if I have more accurate images, if upload Adobe RGB images to Smumug they get converted to sRGB anyway...so the extra gamut would only benefit me if I print them out at home on my Epson R1800. As you can probably tell, I'm leaning toward sticking with sRGB - though this exploration does make me wish that the industry, collectively, would align on a new standard with a higher gamut. Maybe that's ProPhoto RGB?
