Hi all,
Forgive me, I’m confused. I’ve got a decent 21" CRT monitor, calibrated with Pantone Spyder (running XP Pro SP2). I’m preparing photos and fractal graphics for stock and microstock. Generally I soft proof with monitor RGB, as this is very a very accurate preview of what my prints look like when I print. Programs other than PS, such as ACDSee, and my web browsers, also seem to agree with this, i.e., a photo opened in ACDSee looks just like PSCS3 with " monitor RGB" proof colors enabled.
So what is Adobe Raw and CS3 showing me if I don’t enable proof colors (which is considerably darker and more saturated)? Is this Adobe RGB?
More to the point: should I color correct in "monitor RGB" mode? It’s a bit of a toss-up, since the files might be used either on the web or prepared for print. Obviously there is room for the end user to correct to taste, but I am wondering what space I should use to prepare the files generally.
TIA. Any advice or links appreciated.
