Photoshop with Matt: sRGB vs. Adobe RGB

If you're a photographer you've probably seen that your camera, Photoshop, Lightroom, and even Camera Raw all have places to set your color mode (sRGB or Adobe RGB). In this video I'll help you figure out what the difference is, where you'll see that difference, and what mode is best to keep your photos in.

Thanks a ton!

also, when sending to a printer want to use sRGB, because that is the native color space that most modern printers work in.

you don't see a difference because your original was in sRGB color space. there is a video where scott kelby explains this topic very well. he basically says that when shooting jpg or gif you should shoot adobe RGB because it retains more color information. you can always convert adobe RGB to sRGB to save space but it is not recommended to convert the other way like you have done in this video.

i think it is a good and simple video

This guy's videos are long-winded and pretty lame. Over six minutes to explain something so basic and simple it could be done in about 30 seconds. Two Thumbs Down!

Some diagrams showing the extent of each color space would help. Seeing two identical images on screen during the whole talk is what makes it confusing. Photographers 'listen' with their eyes.

It's not too bad if you already have some understanding.

i'm not a colour management expert, but this is a pretty bad explanation isn't it?
