I have to say, Andrew, that my experience mostly revolves around taking “existing” RGB images, where all the “damages” is already done, for editing and retouching, and then converting to CMYK, to make proofs, have them approved and out the press, the next day. That’s one workflow. Images are coming to me either tagged with AdobeRGB, sRGB or untagged. Many times, when the image is tagged with AdobeRGB, I am able to leave the profile as is, the image, judging by its rendition on the screen, doesn’t need any further work. But many times, assigning sRGB makes the tones appear more “natural”, all of a sudden? This is using a NEC PA301W calibrated monitor, “visually tweaked to perfectly good SWOP and GRACoL proofs”, outputted on non-fluorescent (Epson Standard Proofing 240) paper through ORIS ColorTuner. For a large number of folks, especially those who don’t shoot RAW, and chose sRGB in their camera, by the time they view their images on screen, all the compromises and clipping has occurred. But I realize, for the most demanding crowd, there’s no such thing as one-gamut-fits-all. Believe it or not, most of my publishing clients, even in 2019, don’t have a clue about color management, they don’t see the difference between all of the popular RGB color spaces. I won’t debate the virtues of ProPhotoRGB and I remember sitting in a presentation at Seybold, by Kevin Spaulding, then at Kodak, about how ProPhotoRGB came to be and everything about it made perfectly good sense. I think I still have one of the original white paper, somewhere on my computer. Maybe I’m long overdue for a fresh, new visit…. I’m sorry I opened this Pandora box. / Roger From: Andrew Rodney <andrew@digitaldog.net> Sent: December 3, 2019 10:53 AM To: <graxx@videotron.ca> <graxx@videotron.ca> Subject: Re: NEC PA271Q "Native" chromaticities For printing on devices who's color gamut far exceed the quite limited color gamut of magazine and sheetfed OK but just awful for capture or conversion from raw, as shown so well here: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/59559609 Of course I don't know that ANY printer can print all of the sRGB color gamut.

None, whatsoever, from the point of view of magazine and sheetfed printing. But that's my experience -- everyone mileage is bound to vary. Certainly speaking for myself, here, and it's a public forum, last I know, everyone's experiences and points of view were welcome 😊
