I think I fudged that one. What I meant to say was how does one judge images in Adobe RGB, which is being recommended, if you cannot see all the colors? Or to put in a language that I understand, if I can see only RG, how do I make editing decisions about B?
Dear Shangara
Sorry for the delay in replying to your queries. Been out for much of the day and been trying to catch up ever since! In the meantime Bob has very succinctly cleared up your doubts I trust. The flippant answer to the above is to get yourself a decent monitor <G>
And if I can't, what's all the fuss about editing in the wider Adobe RGB space instead of the smaller spaces, such as sRGB? If you cannot see the colors covered by a "relatively" small space such as Adobe RGB on the monitors that "most" photographers and studios have, does that mean people have been editing blindly?
As for seeing how colour in your files will come through onto the printed page, there is nothing quite like feeding your CMYK files through a contract proofer next to your editing computers.....very reassuring when dealing with colour critical work.
Cheers
