Color Spaces Explained! sRGB, Adobe RGB (1998), ProPhoto RGB

You are working on a sRGB monitor, never will be able to see Abode RGB colors. Before understanding color spaces, the key is what kind of monitor do you have, from where your images is coming from and what you going to do with your images (print, store on your computer, share on the web). Then you will make your decisions. 99% of people will fit in a sRGB color space workflow. Even photographers, the only way to take advantages of ProPhoto color space is shooting with medium format camera.

OK, so what if you want to "Save as"?

Thank you

Thank you, thank you!!! I was looking for this info everywhere and it was so confusing! You explained just perfectly clear!

When I choose these settings will they be a help when I go to get them printed on canvas or photo paper

I love your videos. Thanks a lot. Very helpful.

Hi Aron and thanks for all your amazing tutorials. I have always been confused about color space because although it makes very much sense to use more informations when editing the picture, we're not gonna be able to instantly visualise the final result while working. Am I correct? If, for example, I have to edit some pictures that I know are going to be printed for an album/exhibit etc. wouldn't it be good to work on a CMYK profile straight away considering that, when printed, I'm not going to be able to see the wider Prophoto range of colours I worked on , but instead the narrower range of colour allowed by the print? Or maybe work on pro photo first, then export with the printing lab photo profile and make the necessary adjustment to the exported file ? don't know if I am making sense but thanks to anyone who will reply to this!

This was a very detailed tutorial, thank you. I noted that you use a resolution of 240 and I use a resolution of 300...I thought 300 was the recommendation for image quality especially for prints and I use 300 for web and prints, do you recommend 240 for web content?

Can you tell me if Display p3 is good to use ? It seems that my camera raw chose that as the default

Thank you sooo much for your videos. I was having trouble with my photos.

does the colour setting affect prints? eg, if I print two photos with two different colour settings, both the photo will be the same or diff?

Thank you so very much Aaron! Very helpful tutorial!

Thanks.

This over complicates things. Do everything in sRGB. If you edit in ProPhoto RGB or Adobe RGB, you run the risk of color shifts when exporting if you don't pay attention to exporting values. Stick to sRGB.

quick question. We are working in "pro photo RGB" but we are viewing on an sRGB monitor so that means the monitor not showing the extra colours that the pro photo RGB is having and it's doing some mathematical conversion before it gets displayed so that it does not look as if its clamp. Agreeing on the data info (colours) is available on the image file after the raw to Profoto RGB conversion. 🙋‍♂

Thank you so much for this editorial, i have really struggled with my colours and this as made so much sense now. Please keep up the great work as i find photoshop so very difficult kind regards Lee

Thank you , for the first time I understand PS color settings. They were very confusing.

Hi, I edit with lightroom and on a Microsoft surface laptop. I have had issue for a while with the colour transfer from my laptop to my phone when exporting images, all images on my laptop are more saturated and highlights and shadows stand out more. When I get these images on my phone they look flat and less saturated. I export with sRGB but still have issue with this. wondering if you have any answers?

Even after following alle these steps and convertet to sRGB, my pictures com out oversaturatet, when i post it on instagram. I can't figure where it goes wrong!!

Thanks for the info and always producing great content.

thanks

Brilliant video explaining a complicated topic in a simple fashion. I finally get it!

This was a really perfect explanation and walk through as always. Thank you x

Superexcellent Aaron, very helpful. A million thanks!

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for this wonderful information
And I have one doubt the color space and color profile is the same?

I set everything to sRGB but when exporting my rather desaturated picture is more red and more saturated ... this drives me nuts what do i do wrong :(

Thank you.

Great stuff.Thank YOU!

So usefulll information. Great! Aaron, can you also make a tutorial on what is the proper setup in making a layout for a large print. I would like to put a large wallpaper in my room. Thank you so much, I am always watching you.

Excellent, you are always smiling .thanks for everything

This is so helpful and well explained. Thanks

I use apple Rgb

Fantastic, approachable tutorial.
However, I wonder about the recommendation to always edit in the ProPhoto color profile. In the use-case where you KNOW you're ultimately editing something that will be displayed (maybe exclusively) on the web, doesn't it make more sense to just work in sRGB? Otherwise how will you know what the image is actually going to look like once it's been converted?

You are a good teacher! Explaining verse clearly.

You are always so clear! I finally got it ! you are great !

Thanks so much very helpful!

Damn dude, this was super helpful. I know almost nothing about photoshop and I was editing an image that I screenshotted but when I opened it it was darker and more saturated, and it happened again after opening the exported version. Turns out the Color Settings were all out of wack. Thanks!

what should be the monitor settings?

I am using photoshop to draw and paint, what color profile should I use? and in which settings should I export?

Thank you so much

alan resnick

excelent thank you

which color space do you recommend for digital painters???

What about photos for prints? Printers asked me to send them photos in sRGB which doesn’t make sense to me. Any advice of the profile for prints?

Thank you so much for this video!

One of the most useful videos I saw, no crap only professional and well-explained data. Should be 10 times more views..

I didn't know that Ironman was good at photoshop😂
