Primarily, yes it is both a Mac thing and a preferrential prejudice. From what I understand, the two are very similar in terms of the gammut that they cover. Maris's comment that "Some publishers will do the sharpening themselves" is more significant that it appears in his remarks. Most publishers not only prefer to do the sharpening themselves but actually do sharpen it themselves even if they receive an already sharpened file so as to bring it into conformity with their printer's needs. Moreover, most publishers prefer to work directly from the digital file rather than from an inkjet produced off that file; hence, they request or require the digital file and not the inkjet print. Thus, you would not know what sharpening would be required for the publisher's intended use; but they would. Given this, you would not want to sharpen the digital file that is supplied to them but give them an unsharpened final version. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Preston Earle Sent: Saturday, June 08, 2002 9:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [filmscanners] Re: Color spaces for different purposes "Tomek Zakrzewski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> asked: "What color spaces is best to choose for the following purposes: - printed material, for example a magazine or a photographic book - stock photography (image bank) - inkjet and "Maris V. Lidaka Sr." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> suggested: "I also would suggest Adobe RGB. I would not sharpen the images yet - sharpen when you are ready to print on inkjet or to send to the publisher, as your sharpening amount will probably be different. Some publishers will do the sharpening themselves AFAIK." --------------- Maris has excellent advice. For a fuller story, try a Googlesearch for: ("color space" RGB colormatch sRGB Adobe) and you will get lot's of informative links. One pre-press expert in my area recommends ColorMatchRGB instead of Adobe98 for pre-press work. Is this a Mac vs. PC thing?
