Unless you understand and use color management these designations of color
space make little difference to you.
Should you want to learn more and have more predicable results you would
be better off keeping everything in one color space, sRGB or AdobeRGB.
In the long run AdobeRGB is the better color space to use as it contains
more colors. You can convert an sRGB image to AdobeRGB without loss of
color information. If you convert an image from AdobeRGB to sRGB you
irretrievably lose color information.
I had just begun using adobre rgb in my camera settings on my 300D. No
problems. Going back and printing old pictures and getting acceptable
results with the epson. Only problem with green seems to be 20D set to
adobe rgb. I have set it to srgb. Will se if this makes a difference.
Getting a properly calibrated system seems to cost a lot in time and effort.
I had used epson paper on my canon and noted a slightly blue cast. Fuji has
an ever so slight green and the canons own stuff seems to bring out red.
Kodak ultima is just plain crap! I have been using jessops own as it seems
to be neutral. As does mx2 professional paper. Ferrania was good but
savagely expensive although it does promise water resistance once dry.
As mentioned in another post my monitor is set to
6500K for management. It seems red green and blue are 100 percent. Its
also very bright.
Other available settings are 9300K for cad/cam
original panel colour
user preset
srgb preset.
I suppose i should set my camera to srgb. Adobe colour space to srgb and my
monitor to srgb colour space. then set the printer driver to icm. Of
course genuine epson ink and paper too.
For now i will set my camera to srgb. Once the current inks run out i will
replace with genuine. Same with paper. Then colour space then monitor. At
each stage i will go back and print the same image and see how this affects
the final monitor/print match.
