Common Color Space profiles

  • sRGB - Good for displaying images on the web and for lab prints. It has a smaller gamut than Adobe RGB (1998) and ProPhoto but often is the recommended choice for final output as it is the most universal. 
  • Adobe RGB (1998) – It has a wider gamut than sRGB and often preferred by designers and graphic artists.
  • ProPhoto RGB - Has a larger color gamut than Adobe RGB. It needs to be edited in 16-bit and resulting file size is much larger.
  • CMYK - CMYK is the industry standard for 4-color printing in magazines, brochures and newspapers. It has a limited color space and care needs to be taken when converting a wider color space to CMYK.

We edit most of our architectural and product images using ProPhoto RGB on color calibrated wide gamut monitors. Unless otherwise requested, we convert the edited images to 8-bit sRGB Tiff files for delivery. It makes sense to deliver a standard color space which meets requirements for many labs and display viewing.

When requested we will provide the images in the color space of your choice.

Prior to an assignment we will discuss your exact output requirements and tailor the output for your needs.
