Hi all, my first post here. I decided to take the plunge into printing (I decided photography by itself was not an expensive enough hobby - lol). I ordered the Epson P800 and it’s on it’s way here (so excited!) I have a question about AdobeRGB I’m hoping you can help clarify.
I have a nice, calibrated, monitor (NEC PA322UHD) that came with a colorimeter. I have the monitor set to sRGB. I have PS also set to sRGB working space, even though the files themselves are typically ProPhotoRGB (RAW files coming from LR). I didn’t do much printing before and just shared online, so these settings seemed appropriate.
Now that I’ll be printing, I’m wondering if I should change my color space settings. Is that a necessary step for getting color matched output?
And if I do, where are all the places I should make that change? I can switch my monitor to AdobeRGB. I can switch the PS working space to AdobeRGB. Am I missing anything? Do I need to change something in Windows settings too?
Also, if I switch my monitor to AdobeRGB, does that mean I’m now viewing web content not in the intended working space? (That seems annoying to have to switch back and forth...)
I hope my question makes sense, and thanks in advance for your insights. I’m excited about this new chapter in my hobby. Holler if you’ve got good advice for a newbie like me!
Cheers,
Joe
