Or: Why you must work in sRGB
I'm writing this post in hopes of preventing some of the recent
damage from yet another CreativeLive disaster. I despair when I think
of the thousands of workflows that are complicated, and the countless
images that are ruined, by persistent advice to edit in large colour
spaces.
It's terribly sad that so many prominent photographers
sabotage the workflows of emerging photographers by advocating Adobe RGB
or even ProPhoto RGB as the working space of choice. I don't think
this sabotage is deliberate (although it certainly might be in some
cases). I think these photographers simply enjoy the false impression
of "expertise" that such advice gives them. "Oh, that guy works in
Adobe RGB - he must be an expert!" WRONG.
