Colour management

We need colour spaces because each one shows colour differently, using CYMK for a colour space is for prints, the colour will be better than if you used for RGB for prints as RGB is used for editing and displaying images on the internet.

In the video the photographer explains what colour space you should use when exporting, he explained that we should use sRGB for when you want to export out to the web because browsers do not read Prophoto RGB and they also don’t read adobe RGB 1998 either. They can only read sRGB, using sRGB makes your colour display well across devices.

It is essential to calibrate your monitor so that the image can be viewed on screen as they would print. This allows the image to be edited for printing.

The colour profile chosen on your camera is given to the JPEG images taken before they are edited, but a RAW image has no colour profile designated to it until post, when the colour profile can be chosen by whoever is editing the image.

The colour profiles accessible in post are Adobe colour, Adobe landscape, Adobe Portrait, Adobe standard, Adobe Vivid, and Adobe Monochrome. These can be assigned to a RAW file in post-production. I usually use Adobe Colour as it gives me more control when editing my images and it leaves my image with better quality.
