Exactly. And it is not gamut what I care about the most. We are used to making less saturated colors assume the same weight that they had in their more saturated versions. As i said before, we do retouching and that is what we do every day. Currently, one of the retouching styles that client's...

And you are right about that.

Perceptual would be the rendering intent that would dictate what would happen to all those colours available in the original colour space but not in the destination colour space. It doesn't matter how those colors are described (xyz, LAB, RGB, CMYK)...

It's in my job description.

We agree. We only use CMYK for printing our contract proofs. To the clients, we deliver a DVD with both RGB and CMYK files along with the proofs. It is very rare that we do any modifications in CMYK. When we've done it, it's never been anything more complex than adjusting densities or minimum...

Thanks, but really, the workflows i suggest are actually: 1) ACR -> AdobeRGB -> CMYK 2) ACR ->ProphotoRGB -> eciRGBv2 -> CMYK I wouldn't stay in prophoto longer than I need. My job is to make images pretty and I need as much bit resolution as possible available in my working gamut. I hear you...

We do in fact calibrate all to D50. The whole studio is lit to D50 as are ourJUST viewing booths. I've currently set my monitor to L*. The images in photoshop should look the same as at gamma1.8 right? Does the color engine compensate? I need to know how my monitor gamma will really affect my...

We, as a studio, are familiar with all those approaches. We don't need all the changes to appear in the original RAW. We just use smart objects to use as much as we can from a RAW file without having to create a TIFF for every adjustment. We do also work exporting TIFFs and stacking them in...

What you say makes a lot of sense. The prophotoRGB approach i suggested was only intended to bring thes out of gamut colors to the PSD just because Camera Raw didn´t allow for anything other the profiles we all know... I'll have to do some tests with different images to see how much damage a...

Thanks for your replies. A color guy came to tune our studios equipment today. We don't really do pre-press or printing as a main business, as, as i said, we're a post-production studio and we do retouching and CGI for editorial and advertising. Our colour proofs are acually more of a defense...

Hello everybody. First of all I'd like to say it has taken a long time for me to find a place that feel adequate for the kind of questions I have regarding color. This is a very extensive topic and most of the stuff I have found online is not convincing enough for what I need... so, thanks. I...
