Re: filmscanners: Why not sRGB ?



Adobe RGB is a good match for printing.  Bruce Fraser recommends his own
Bruce RGB as being closer to print than Adobe's
http://www.creativepro.com/story/feature/6541.html and I use it.

| So what's the colour gamut of the average human eye and how much variance
is

|
| I bizarrely found during the colour blind discussion that I could change
the
| hue of some of the colour charts such that I (CB) could very clearly see
the
| correct number on the chart and so called "normal" people could see
nothing
| but dots.
|
| It rather makes me wonder if we are metaphorically chasing the Holy Grail.
I
| use AdobeRGB and feel I get quite a good match on the 1270 with Epson
papers
| when printing from PS. I can also get prerceptually decent results from my
| digicam with slightly different driver settings without the colour
matching.
| I have however sometimes seen posturisation on digicam pictures from the
| Epson that have been converted to AdobeRGB before editting and subsequent
| printing.
|
| It all seems to be a bit of a mess. We have one set of colours for each of
| the following:
|
| 1) scanner
| 2) monitor
| 3) printer
| 4) human eye -  which is uncalibrated and has wild variations from one too
| another.
|
| None of them match up - each has some colours that are not seen by other
| devices/people. We then have an artificial mediator in the middle (the
| processing colour space eg Adobe RGB) which also has colours that are not
| seen by any of the other 4 and the 4) also have colours that can not be
| represented by the processing colour space. We then do 8 bit conversions
| (theres bound to be some inaccuracy here) from one colour space to another
| where neither can represent the other in it's entirety.
|
| Perhaps we should be amazed that we ever get a good match.
