Relative colorimetric will only shift the out of gamut colors to the nearest color that is within the smaller color space. How out of gamut colors are translated depends on how the application has been instructed to deal with out of gamut colors, either via the default settings for the application or via a user selected setting. If the color is outside the other color space, though, it can't be displayed. What color managed applications do is translate the numbers from images encoded in one color space to the numbers for that same color in the other color space. ![]() So the number that equates to "88% green" in sRGB will be a different color than the same number that equates to "88% green" in Adobe RGB. But they both use the same number of steps between "0" and "100%". SRGB is a smaller gamut than Adobe RGB (there should be a space between "Adobe" and "RGB" - /digitalimag/adobergb.html). So what you are saying is that if I set Windows Color Management to use AdobeRGB, and the monitor itself to AdobeRGB, colors should be correctly displayed in color managed applications, and too saturated in non-color managed applications? So in Chrome an image with an sRGB profile should look as dull as it does on an sRGB monitor? That's probably because you have either told Lr to use Adobe RGB regardless of the color space indicated in the metadata of the photo or because the correct color profile information was not included in/has been stripped from the metadata of the sRGB images and in the absence of a specified color space Lr is using Adobe RGB as the default. That means that if the sRGB images in question include the proper color profile information in their metadata they will be correctly displayed regardless of whether your color space is set to Adobe RGB or sRGB. Shouldn't images open in Google Chrome change as I change the color space in Windows Color Management?Ĭhrome is a color managed browser. I cannot see any changes at all when switching between AdobeRGB and sRGB as the default color space. Why sRGB images viewed via the Chrome browser do not shift colors when I change the color space on my system to Adobe RGB but sRGB images viewed via Lightroom do shift colors when I change the color space on my system to AdobeRGB? It seems that all of that is really just a long preamble to what it seems you may be really asking: Entire books have been written regarding points 1-5 of your question. The question is very broad and probably beyond the scope of an answer here. How do you set up color management at all levels on a Windows computer? When I open Lightroom, images that I have edited to be exactly as I want them on an sRGB 100% coverage monitor are way too blue on my new AdobeRGB 100% coverage monitor. Shouldn't images open in Google Chrome change as I change the color space in Windows Color Management? Both Photoshop and Windows would do this when previewing an image. Programs reading the image should convert it to the color space Windows is using so it is displayed correctly on the monitor. If Windows is set to sRGB and the monitor is set to sRGB, this should do nothing. This way you can see how the image would look like on an sRGB monitor. They should give you the option to "simulate" sRGB on an AdobeRGB monitor. So if the monitor is set to AdobeRGB, but Windows is set to sRGB, the image should look overly saturated.Īdvanced color managed programs like Photoshop and Lightroom. So if you preview an image with the Windows Image Viewer, it should convert the image colors to the monitor gamut so the image is displayed correctly. It should be set to whatever the monitor is set to on the on-screen menu. If it is set to sRGB, it should compensate and turn down the LEDs. So on a monitor with exactly 100% AdobeRGB coverage, if it is set to AdobeRGB, a 100% green input should set the green LEDs to 100% intensity. This sets up hardware translation of colors. ![]() The selected color space on the monitor on-screen menu. Alternatively some calibration hardware and software could do this job better. It should be calibrated at the factory and baked into the monitor hardware. My question is how to set up color management at all levels?
