Larry - For your purposes, it will not effect the raw data in the image. It will effect the embedded jpg preview image that you see on the camera LCD screen. So any histogram you see on the back of the camera will also be effected because it is generated from the embedded jpeg. For all practical purposes it won't make any difference.
You can generate jpgs later in any color space you want. They will all be generated from the original unaffected raw data. I doubt that the screen on the back of your camera is good enough to show any significant differences between the color spaces. So, if you use the histogram to make exposure adjustments, theoretically, there may be a tiny difference in the feedback it gives you. If you're submitting raw files - set the camera color space to adobeRGB so the are tagged correctly. If you're submitting jpgs, the camera setting won't make any practical difference. Just make sure when you generate the jpgs, set ACR or Lightroom or whatever you use for AdobeRGB. There's a lot of over-thinking going on in this thread. Most of it is technically correct and practically insignificant. gs George Sinos -------------------- [email protected] www.georgesphotos.net plus.georgesinos.com On Thu, Jul 12, 2012 at 10:48 AM, Larry Colen <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Jul 12, 2012, at 7:31 AM, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: > >> Colorspace is a parameter used in the chroma interpolation phase of >> the raw conversion process, on the way to an RGB channel file of >> whatever format. > > Are you saying it does, or does not, affect the data in the raw file? > >> >> What they're telling you is that they want the deliverables produced >> with Adobe RGB profile.
