Hello all-
We are searching for a good color working space. I know that the wider
space is supposed to be the better but we have some issues when it comes
to final output.
95% of our work is portraits printed in RGB (Kodak LED).
In the past we have used Adobe 98 knowing that it has a fairly wide
colorspace but upon printing, we end up with much too saturated colors.
Blues tend to go neon and reds become overly red.
Switching to sRGB seems to "calm" everything down.
My questions are:
Should this even be an issue? If we have well calibrated monitors and a
good profile for our printer shouldn't we keep working in a wide space and
let the profile do its job?
Using sRGB we have noticed a color shift in the blues- Blue jeans and blue
dresses (blue on the screen) come out purple. Where as when we were
working in Adobe 98 we did not have this shift (just the over-saturation).
Is this a known inconsistency with sRGB?
Is there a color working space that is similar to sRGB or would it be
better to test several spaces out?
Thanks in advance.
