Do RAW files include the colour space that the photo was shot in? After leaving my batteries at home last week, and just before buying a new one, my camera battery expired. When I put the new battery in the previous camera settings were gone and I had to restore them from memory. I set it up to use Adobe RGB - no idea whether I had this there before or not.
Now that all the photos are in Lightroom, many of them seem to me to be more vibrantly colourful than I recall at the time. When I export them they lose a good deal of their vibrancy. As an example, I have exported one frame into 2 tiff files, using Adobe RGB and ProPhoto RGB respectively - see below. The outputs are noticeably different for each colour space, yet neither one is as vibrant as the original file, and the original scene itself was very vibrant and colourful. http://www.web-options.com/Fez3.jpg http://www.web-options.com/Fez4.jpg The 2nd is probably closer to the original scene, but lacks the warmth and colour that made me take the shot. They are some slippers I bought, on the floor of my room in the beautiful, golden light coming from the courtyard of the house where I stayed; the gold of the light seems to be lost.
