So is there any point in scanning into a large-gamut space such as
EktaSpace, if all one is going to do is take the file into Photoshop 7?
Picture AdobeRGB as a triangular pyramid that fits cleanly inside the cubic
box of ICC Lab. Picture Ekta or ProPhoto or whatever large space as being a
pyramidal balloon, which is far to big to fit in that same cubic box, but
which has been inflated inside it anyhow. It does fill more of the box than
AdobeRGB, thus offering you colors AdobeRGB does not. But it also has those
very clipped corners, so that color values in those areas will not be
distinct from one another. 0, 255, 0 will have the same value os 0, 200, 0,
or something similar...
Unless you convert the image to LAB mode, the corners won't be clipped.
The encoding of the color mode and the encoding used by the CMM are
different -- the CMM doesn't clip.
