I'm new to this group. I've posted this inquiry on several other lists,
but have had no luck in getting an answer to my question. Perhaps I am
not asking them right
In Photoshop7, when you are making your Color Settings, under Working
Spaces, you can select your RGB, CMYK, and Grey working spaces. For
example, you could select Adobe 1998 if you want a wider color gamut. I
have been working in ColorSync RGB - Generic RGB Profile for as long as
I can remember, and I have had no problems getting the color exactly
right in my prints (after a little tweaking, of course). I like
ColorSync because it seems to produce very reliable results, and, I have
a ColorSync display.
However, I began to wonder if this ColorSync Working Space is an actual
color work space like Adobe 1998 is, or if it is something different.
If it IS a color work space, then does anyone know what the gamut is,
especially compared to Adobe 1998?
Also, does anyone know if you select ColorSync as your printer profile,
will this work ONLY if you have selected the ColorSync Working Space in
your Color Settings, or will the ColorSync printer profile work
regardless of color space (i.e., it will make the necessary adjustments)?
I have a beige desktop G3upgradedtoG4, OS 9.2, Photoshop7, and I am
using an Epson 7500.
Please forgive me if these are silly questions, but they came up when I
upgraded from PS 5.5 to PS 7 and did not make a note of my color space
preferences and tried to print an image created in PS 5.5 and the colors
were quite a bit off and I had to backtrack and re-select ColorSync as
the Working Space.
I would appreciate any elucidating comments, referral for further
reading, anything else relevant.
Thanks!
