When you launch Lightroom for the first time and choose to export
some (previously added) image in TIFF format, Adobe 1998 is
suggested by default.
But they recommend that for best color you use 16bit ProPhoto RGB,
as I just pointed out.
And someone pointed out to you earlier, defaults are not necessarily
the 'best' choices. They are often simply the 'safest' choices, so
that beginners don't get themselves in a mess immediately. That is
why sRGB is so often a default color space; it's 'safe' with most
software/hardware. But not always the 'best' choice. The 'best'
choices are found by reading the manufacturers recommendations, by
reading other users' recommendations, and by experiment.
Point taken. The problem remains that for a fair comparative review,
it's simply impossible to "experiment" much, because in the end you'll
never be sure if product A fared better than product B because you
invested more time tweaking, were more lucky, etc.
This differs from what I would do with one single app I was going to
test or even use personally.
But I agree with you that it's not much of an experiment to select a
better color space. As I said, I did, cross-checked, and only when I
found that ProPhoto didn't alter the results at all (max deltaE
difference < 0.5%, which is smaller than measurement repeatability), I
sticked to the default, in accordance with the review principles.
