widely adopted as the industry standard for the print world because it provides
a relatively large and balanced color gamut that can be easily repurposed for
reproduction on a variety of devices. Most users i nd that it contains a sui cient
gamut for most output needs, while having only a slightly larger gamut than
the monitor can display. Further, Adobe RGB improves upon sRGB's gamut
signii cantly in cyan and green values. If your camera of ers it, Adobe RGB is an
excellent color space choice if your images are destined for the printed page, or
both the printed page and the web.
ProPhoto RGB is the largest working space and contains even more colors than
Adobe RGB. This space has many advocates, but is not available in all cameras.
Sensors on most high resolution digital cameras produced today are capable of
capturing more colors than even the Adobe RGB color space allows.
ProPhoto RGB is the only color space that can contain all of the colors digital
cameras are capable of producing. At the moment, however, there are no
monitors or printers even remotely capable of displaying or outputting the
full array of colors ProPhoto RGB is capable of capturing, which therefore creates
a large propensity for problems. At some point in the future, however, this may
change. Many commercial photographers are starting to adopt this space as a
“better” space, as it provides more freedom to grow into more colors as output
devices get better.
