- sRGB was designed to model the better computer displays of the 1990s.
- AdobeRGB (1998) was designed to model the color-offset printing equipment
available in that same time period.
- ProPhoto RGB was designed in the early 2000s to model the maximum color space
achievable with a 16-bit per component digital sensor.
With that in mind:
- Calibrate and profile your system's display to allow it to be used as a
reference when adjusting your photographs, and to promote accurate translations
to other displays and printer needs.
- Use ProPhoto RGB to edit images in 16-bit depth In order to minimize
round-off errors in editing.
- Convert images to AdobeRGB or sRGB before converting to 8-bit since both of
these color spaces can be fully represented in 8bit numbers.
- Use AdobeRGB when a client or a print service requires it on your outputted
image files.
- Use sRGB for any other photo sharing on computers.
- Allow your image processing software and a fully color-managed printing
workflow to take your images directly from their final, edited, 16-bit ProPhoto
RGB form to whatever your printer requires for best printing fidelity. The goal
should be as perfect a match on paper to what you see on screen in the editing
environment. This applies to standard and wide gamut displays alike.
