Thank.....Ortega for that informative link.
Now I am clear what colour space to be used. As I shoot RAW 99% of the time, so may stick to editing in 16bit than convert to 8bit.
This is a good tip....:thumbsup:
"While it is always a good idea to do your editing in 16-bit mode, it is even more important when working in a wider gamut color space. After editing, you can optionally convert to 8-bit if needed since no further data loss can occur.:
The bright red shows the portion in each where clipping would occur. As you can see, sRGB loses quite a bit, while Adobe RGB comes much closer. Only ProPhoto RGB is able to encompass all the colors without clipping. The pre-dawn sky itself is somewhat pink, but what matters here is the red clipping display, not the pink sky. :thumbsup:
By converting your RAW files into ProPhoto RGB in Adobe Camera Raw you preserve more of what the sensor actually saw. Once you open them in Photoshop though, you need to decide what to do next. :thumbsup:
In summary,....
In an 8-bit world, sRGB represented the best compromise between gamut and usability. Now that we can use 16-bit for most things, Adobe RGB rules the day. Once the world moves from 16-bit to 32-bit images, I will undoubtedly start using ProPhoto as my working space.
