What's the best practices for color spaces on monitors for editing?
My monitor and color manager in PS is currently calibrated for sRGB but I have a new agency which wants me to submit in RGB for which I will be editing new files. Is it also possible to set up two different profiles? I'm using Datacolor Pro3. Thanks for replies. |

It is not possible for monitors to display ARGB, monitors can only display sRGB, so don't worry about it, simply save in ARGB mode for that site and it will be fine. |

Thanks, Jeff for clearing up the fog. That makes managing the PC much easier.
Laurin, a few agencies are nuts, all right. A few others requires me to submit my images on CD. Can they be taken seriously in today's age of IT?
One Corbis owned agency have a keyword submission engine that changes keywords because they will only accept keywords that is only in the database. So I got an image for 'Satay/ sate' changed to 'skewered dishes' because they are not geared up for anything except for food in English names.
I wonder what they will use in place for 'Wiener Schnitzer', 'Bouillabaise' or 'Gravlax.' |

Quite a few high end monitors like LaCie, NEC and Eizo now display 98 to 100% of the ARGB colour space, so if you are prepared to spend the money then a higher colour fidelity workflow is a given.
sRGB is a tiny colourspace in comparison to ARGB, and a cameras built-in conversion algorithms are junk compared to a conversion done in Photoshop.
Shoot untagged RAW, process in ARGB 16bit, then archive. Do a temporary copy of the archive, convert to sRGB in Photoshop using a Relative Colourmetric method with Black-Point Conversion enabled then save as jpeg at max quality with Optimisation and Progressive turned OFF. |

Thanks, Andrew for your input. I don't really see any point in investing in a high end monitor like Eizo unless I expand to MF. But I will not stop wishing... ;-) |

Now let me see, do I want to spend $3000 on my next lens or on a monitor capable of 98% of aRGB, Hmmmmmmm
Just a perspective :-) |

Tee Tee Tee! Oh how I wish... how I wish I could have my cake and eat it. So by now I trust you know how I feel about asking for a bank loan from the Minister of silly walks for a MF body and a 80mm Schneider-Kreuznach |
