I'm hoping someone on this forum can help me understand this .....it's driving me nuts !
Ever since I started photography my cameras have been set to Adobe RGB ...I shoot Nikon . I've never changed it because I wasn't aware of it....I know I know...RTFM !!
I PP in photoshop CC & when saving I have the ICC Profile Adobe RGB 1998 box ticked........never changed it .....I don't like changing things...it defaults to that so that's where it stays !
I have printed 6 canvas & at least 40 prints ranging from A4 to posters( canvas from Trade Canvas , Prints from DSCL ) & every time , without fail , the products have arrived looking EXACTLY the same as they do on my screen....(which is 15 years old & not calibrated ) In other words they have arrived perfect. I have never downloaded any profile from DSCL/Trade Canvas , I just upload my photo's as they are...which I presume is still in Adobe RGB .
Now , somewhere ,and I can't recall where , I've seen talk of sRGB & that you should shoot & process in sRGB.........
Can some one please explain why this is ? Preferably in words of one syllabul or less as I'm apparently being dim ( more so than usual),
I cannot fathom how sRGB is better than Adobe RGB .....actually , more to the point, why I should change what I've been doing .I'm quite happy to change if I can understand why ..
Will my prints look better than they currently do by changing to sRGB ?
Thanks in advance for any help / info/advice
