	Working Space Comparison: sRGB vs. Adobe RGB 1998
		Adobe RGB 1998 extends its advantage in the cyan-greens for the highlights, but now has advantages with intense magentas, oranges, and yellows-- colors which can add to the drama of a bright sunset.
		Adobe RGB 1998 does not extend as far beyond sRGB in the shadows, however it still shows advantages in the dark greens (often encountered with dark foliage).
		Adobe RGB is often depicted has having a superior gamut in greens, however this can be misleading and results mainly from the use of the CIE xyz reference space.

	EIZO /Advantages of the Adobe RGB Color Space
		Adobe RGB is a practical RGB color space that was introduced in 1998 by Adobe Systems Inc. As you can see from the color reproduction area comparison graph of Figure 1, compared with sRGB, Adobe RGB has a greater range in some parts of the color reproduction area, such as from blue to green.
		When Adobe RGB is used for the image data, the monitors used to display these images also need to support the wide color reproduction area of Adobe RGB.
		If the monitor is able to reproduce colors according to the Adobe RGB color space, it will be possible, for example, to display on the monitor the correct color reproduction area of the data of an image taken by a photographer using a digital camera in Adobe RGB mode.

	Prints and Adobe RGB vs. sRGB (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		I always thought an RGB monitor had a larger colour space than either Adobe 1998 or sRGB and the reason for using a reduced colour space is based on the fact that a reflective medium like a print is not able to diplay the wide range of colurs that a monitor can.
		The sRGB or Adobe RGB spaces are commonly used because their wide gamut means that they can hold images from many different sources and allow you to make quite large changes in an image whilst being confident that the colours held are a true representation.
		Other option is you send a tagged RGB file and the lab either recognizes it and does the conversion for you or like most dumb labs, they assume some color space (they don't recognize the color space) and unless you send the file in the color space assumed, the output is ugly.

	RGB color space (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		RGB is a convenient color model for computer graphics because the human visual system works in a way that is similar - though not quite identical - to an RGB color space.
		Adobe RGB is also being built into more medium-range digital cameras, and is favored by many professional graphic artists.
		RGB spaces are generally specified by defining three primary colors and a white point.

	RGB color space
		RGB is a convenient color model for computer graphics because the human visual system is also an RGB color space.
		The most commonly used RGB color spaces are sRGB and Adobe RGB (1998), which has a significantly larger gamut than sRGB.
		At this writing sRGB is by far the most commonly used RGB color space, particularly in consumer grade digital cameras, because it is "good enough" for most consumer applications, and its design simplifies previewing on the typical computer display.

	Some Adobe RGB questions.
		Adobe RGB will is fine as a working space.
		However, the main reason for using Adobe RGB is because you get less clipping when converting to CMYK as the colour space match is a better fit.
		Whilst Adobe RGB has a wider gamut than sRGB, IIRC some of the Adobe RGB colour space will be out of gamut on a Fuji Frontier.

	sRGB and Adobe RGB
		SRGB I is supposed to be good for well balanced portraits, Adobe RGB is supposed to be good for manipulation, SRGB II is supposed to be good for landscapes.
		If the best results were to be obtained by use of Adobe RGB in all circumstances it would be the default and possibly the only available choice on a DSLR.
		The Adobe RGB might well be good for colours but is hell of a disapointment when printing with this profile.

	sRGB - Adobe RGB comparison (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		This animation shows how the Adobe RGB 1998 color space (depicted in white) used as the U.S. Prepress default in PhotoShop 6.0 maps to the smaller sRGB color space standard put forth by Microsoft and HP.
		Adobe RGB 1998 and the HP 3500 CP color spaces shows only minor clipping in dark magenta and blue colors.
		CONCLUSION: Adobe RGB is a far better working space than sRBG if you plan to print the file.

		The article was useful (read the original article on) but spawned a lengthy discussion of the relative merits and risks of using ProPhoto RGB in the Luminous Landscape Forums.
		The discussion centered around the advisability of using ProPhoto RGB because it’s color gamut, the amount of colors contained, is so big.

	Color spaces and you
		If your camera offers it, Adobe RGB is an excellent color space choice if your pictures are destined for the printed page, or both the printed page and the Web.
		A gamma of 1.8—vs. 2.2 for sRGB and Adobe RGB - means that if you are looking at a photo that's too dark and murky in the midtones, switching to ColorMatch RGB can be a simple and effective way to brighten the photo.
		Adobe introduced a new feature in Photoshop 7 that trips over a bug in how color space information is marked in digital camera files that encode image metadata in the EXIF format (which is nearly all cameras today).

		Billy's partially right when he says that he knows that Adobe RGB is "better." Let's start by talking about what color spaces are and where sRGB and Adobe RGB came from.
		Canon had Matrix choices in their cameras, and Matrix 4 was Adobe RGB (Canon's more recent cameras make it easier by having a choice that just says "Adobe RGB").
		Adobe RGB is a larger color space than sRGB, but that doesn't make it intrinsically better.

		Adobe RGB provides a wider gamut, but is not taken into account with consumer print shops/kiosks as well as certain consumer level graphics software and may result in unmatched colors.
		Adobe RGB should be used in conjection with photo tools and print processes that recognize Adobe RGB, otherwise you may not be getting what you may expect.
		Using Adobe RGB does add a factor of complexity to your workflow.

	Colour Gamuts - RGB Spaces
		Thankfully with the introduction of Photoshop 6, Adobe simplified the process by eliminating some of the non standard working spaces and streamlining dialogues from Photoshop’s Color Settings.
		Today there are really only three main choices for Working Spaces: sRGB for Web based images, Colormatch RGB for images intended to go to press, and Adobe RGB 1998 for images intended for output on a wide variety of devices with larger color gamuts.
		In the 2d illustration above the difference between it and Adobe RGB 1998 might not seem that bad.

	Understanding ProPhoto RGB
		Though I'm familiar with the book and many of Bruce's other writings, and I knew that ProPhoto RGB is a bigger space than Adobe RGB, somehow there wasn't a mental connect – until recently.
		It's clear from this that the Adobe 98 space is quite a bit bigger, and that especially in the greens and reds / oranges, there is a lot of clipping if sRGB is used.
		Simply, that if you are using the Adobe RGB colour space with a Canon 20D, for example, (and this applies to virtually every other DSLR on the market), you are not getting a lot of the deep saturated colours that the camera's sensor is capable of capturing.

		Fargene er "identiske" i verkligheten, og burde derfor være identiske i både sRGB og i Adobe RGB (1998).
		Svar: Som du ser i diagrammet ovanför är färgrymden sRGB avsevärt mindre i omfång än ADOBE RGB.
		If you set your RGB workspace to ADOBE RGB, you will be least likely to be throwing out values that you will be able to see in today's digital output devices, and yet the gamut is not so large that you will be wasting a lot of your color space and thus having posterization problems.

	Adobe Photoshop Training with Dan Margulis
		Even some pro labs have been slow to grasp that RGB comes in different flavours and they need to convert from the clients colourspace to whatever their printer expects (or better still convert to the printer profile).
		Adobe RGB and sRGB have the same xy values for red, but Adobe has a higher Y value, which means you can represent brighter reds, not more saturated ones.
		Adobe RGB is a true 2.2 curve, while sRGB is about 2.3 or 2.4 with a linear segment at the bottom.

		She calls them Adobe 98 and you notice some spiffy colors that the poor guy next to you doesn't have.
		But Adobe 98 has the same number of crayons as sRGB, so by reaching out to more colors, you're sacrificing fine increments that are so important in shadow detail, for example.

	Color Management for Photographers #006 @Digital Outback Photo
		Once the file is converted to Adobe RGB these extra shades of color are gone.
		You can experience that Adobe RGB is a limiting factor in saturated colors like yellows where Adobe RGB would just level all kind of different shades of saturated yellow to a few limited yellow colors.
		The main issue with ProPhoto RGB is that you need to use 16 bit images all the time or otherwise risk posterization.

	Topic awaiting preservation: Newbie help needed with RGB colour management — OZONE Asylum, home of the Mad ...
		Adobe RGB has a wider colour space than sRGB, quote Adobe: "The larger the RGB working space, the farther apart each color value would be from its nearest neighbor." which comes down to Adobe RGB has a broader range of colours.
		Because you are associating an RGB color space with the images, you may notice a dramatic drop in saturation when the photographs are printed.
		HOWEVER, when you send the RGB file to the printer, at some point no matter what method is used to fix the pigments to the paper, you have switched the image from an additive color space to a subtractive color space.

		That doesn’t mean that the Adobe RGB color space gave anything but the best in prints, too; it just affected the workflow.
		I even had some friendly arguments with folks in the industry who were convinced that Adobe RGB was the best way to go, period, no questions asked, war over and won.

		I noticed when I open a JPEG in Photoshop and then change my working space to Adobe RGB 1998, the image on my display becomes "oversaturated" in appearance (skin tones get too warm, greens are more/too vibrant, etc) compared to working in sRGB.
		Adobe rgb has a wider gamut that is better for printing.
		When I change my working space to Adobe RGB and open a JPEG, the colors are still quite saturated.
