Thank's Michael for your reply. Yes, I am very well aware of what lurks
outside the gamut of my monitor. You see, you wrote "if a working
space is
too large". Yes, I agree fully. But what I find is often times, images
I
work on don't fill nowhere near the 3D volume of a working space. And
for
those times, would you say it is less of an issue?
Your initial question was about the justifications for compressing the
gamut in your file before working on it. However, compression does not
occur if the source gamut is smaller than the destination gamut.
Whether or not assigning Adobe RGB to your images in this case would be
of any benefit to you is something you can determine through trial and
error. You might find that images tagged with Adobe RGB elicit more
'logical' readings in the info palette when you make edits to your
images in Photoshop. Or you might find that certain colors reproduce on
the print more accurately if you convert directly from your source
space to your printer space. As Roger stated, finding the right
rendering intent (and CMM) plays a big role as well. I know that's not
a definitive answer to your question but conversion from small source
gamuts (especially those designed to produce "pleasing color" on
screen) are more apt to reveal the subjective decisions made by icc
profiles, and in turn the choices made by the end user are more apt to
be driven by their own unique relationship to color.
Cheers,
Michael Roberts
