Title: ProPhoto and Capture One
Post by: FrankStark on December 13, 2016, 05:28:15 pm

I understand that it is best to create an output recipe (for print) using ProPhoto RGB as the ICC profile. ProPhoto RGB, or ROMM RGB by another name (according to the LULA Capture one Forum on March 18, 2013) is listed as a colorsync profile on my computer, but when I try create a new recipe by clicking on up/down arrows to the right of the ICC Profile dialogue box in the Basic tab, I only get two choices - Adobe RGB (1998), and sRGB. How can I select ProPhoto RGB (ie COMM RGB) ?
Thanks

F.

Hi Frank,

Have you selected the 'Show All' option at the bottom of the list?

Cheers,
Bart

That did it. Embarrassing. Thanks, Bart.

By the way, why do I want ProPhoto RGB if my monitor only shows Adobe RGB, and I assume that is what my printer reproduces?
