Pro-Photo RGB in DPP Workflow.. Help pls.
« on: October 30, 2006, 08:23:07 pm »

I want to switch my color management workflow from Adobe RGB to Pro Photo RGB.
I use DDP for my RAW conversions and CS2 for additional editing

Digital Photo Professional does not list Pro Photo RGB - it lists Wide Gamut RGB. Is this the same thing?

In order to esnure I have the correct color management workflow I have listed it below.

I shoot RAW
DPP set to Wide Gamut RGB [Pro Photo RGB] - is this correct?

This is for my basic RAW conversions

Then off to CS2 with the following settings in Photoshop

Working Space - RGB: ProPhoto RGB
Conversion Intent: Perceptual

Can anyone please confirm this is correct for switching to a Pro Photo color managed workflow?

Thanks.

No, they're not the same thing. ProPhoto RGB is an even wider colour space than Wide Gamut RGB.

Thank you for the reply.
I also received this from chuck Westfall.

"Wide Gamut RGB and Pro Photo RGB are similar color spaces in the respect that both are wider than Adobe RGB, but strictly speaking, Pro Photo RGB is a slightly wider color space than Wide Gamut RGB. In practice, this distinction is virtually meaningless for most applications, since the extra width of Pro Photo RGB vs. Wide Gamut RGB consists for the most part of imaginary colors that cannot be reproduced.

The best way to decide which color space you prefer is to try them all. This is relatively easy to do as long as you have DPP for Wide Gamut RGB and Adobe Camera RAW for Pro Photo RGB.

Thanks for reading Tech Tips!

I have a further question however - wouldnt the best setting be to set DPP to wide gamut RGB and then set photoshop to preserve the embedded profile?

This would give a near Pro-Photo RGB working space.

Thoughts?
