"So, it it doesn't "hurt" the printer to use a larger gamut, why would
you want to compress the gamut in your file before doing any work with
it?"
Hi Roger,
Compressing the color gamut will give you a more realistic idea of how
out-of-gamut colors will be remapped during a conversion to your output
space. If your working space gamut is too large it will contain colors
that cannot be accurately reproduced on many output devices. This might
seem like a non-issue since Photoshop has an accurate method of soft
proofing your output by referencing your output profile, however, in
order to take full advantage of an icc workflow you should not rely
solely on the soft proof for a particular device. Working on your
images (and archiving them) in Adobe RGB will maintain your color
fidelity and allow you to re-purpose your images for any output device.
It's important to note that in addition to maintaining color fidelity
Adobe RGB also behaves predictably when you make adjustments to your
images (unlike many device-specific, non-uniform color spaces).
Cheers,
Michael Roberts
