<'LAB' is a good thing and it has plenty of practical uses, but serving
as a general storage format is not one of them.>
I am a photographer. I shoot a lot of jewelry and products on a Leaf Volare
for catalogs .etc. I also shoot other things on film and scan. Sometimes
making prints as large as 40 inches x 30 inches from a scanned 35mm. I am so
confused on what work space to use. Based on what I have read on the list I
have gone from AdobeRGB (which looks too 'warm') to Colormatch(which I then
read was too small) to sRGBIEC61966-2.1(which I then read was WEB only). I
use LAB for corrections only. ProPhoto and Bruce look "nuclear"! I do a
'soft' proof on an Epson 900 or 1280.
I have gone from using a profile on the raw camera files to using 'none' and
assigning in Photoshop 6.0.1 on Mac OS 9.2.2. What to do, what to do...
Which space should I use? Can I use the one that "looks best"? Also I use
'LAB' for some corrections...moving from RGB to Lab and back, making
corrections in the lightness and or the A and B channels. Is there anything
wrong with that? Moving back and forth between RGB and LAB???
