Rob,
I'm confused. The Color Mode settings are defined in the C4
documentation as, "Choose from Unchanged, Mode I (sRGB), Mode II (Adobe
RGB), Mode III (sRGB), Mode Ia (sRGB), or Mode IIIa(sRGB)."
If one changes the profile for the input RGB colorspace in the
Preferences, doesn't this override the Color Mode setting for NEF files
in the Advanced RAW palatte? I've never seen a difference changing the
Color Mode settings if I've changed the input profile via the Capture
CM Prefs... but I seldom use Capture to output to anything other than
AdobeRGB (1998). (I've used PS CS to output into ProPhoto, and only
recently learned of this way to "trick" Capture into giving an output
using other profiles.) Is the NEF first converted to the color space
noted in the Color Mode setting, and then converted to the color space
in the Color Management RGB preference on output, when a file is saved?
Seems that would limit the gamut. I don't see how the Capture Color
Mode settings could be used at all when the input profile is taken from
the Colorsync setting. In most cases, the "looks" have a smaller gamut
than the output profile. I'm not sure what Nikon was doing... and
they still have not given me a response.
If you need AdobeRGB output, that should be easy, just by using the
appropriate Color Mode setting (II) and NOT checking the box in Prefs
to use the OS system default.
It seems that perhaps (?) the Color Mode settings were changing both
the (implied) camera profile, as well as setting one of two output
profiles (sRGB vs AdobeRGB). Strange indeed.
