Top of the Rio & Good Night Las Vegas


Thanks Paula Glaser for the loaner 15mm f/2.8 lens (above) and to Danny Palmerlee (aka Travel Burro) for the hour long Adobe Lightroom session on the phone, specifically on color conversion exports in Lightroom*. Who the hell still uses RGB 1998?! sRGB is the ONLY way to export! Tommy and Ethan... where R U! Now to redo my DWF document for 20008 - to infinity and beyond. There's a whole slew of folks to thank for this past 12 days shooting in Las Vegas, including both of my younger sisters Leslie and Kristie.

* Up until now I've been batch exporting pics to this blog (see previous posts from Vegas below) with very flat colors. DP finally explained the difference between the older RGB 1998 output and newer color-for-web settings, namely sRGB. FINALLY!

FYI,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRGB

As the recommended color space for the Internet, sRGB should be used for editing and saving all images intended for publication to the WWW; however, due to sRGB's somewhat limited gamut, images intended for professional printing via a fully color-managed workflow, e.g., prepress output, should choose another color space such as Adobe RGB (1998), which allows for a wider gamut.

thanks for the update, obviously i have not properly researched this as I still swimming in thousands upon thousands of RAW files that are still being imported into Lightroom

what about proRGB for high end print output? seems like that might be better than the outdated Adobe RGB (1998). thanks for the info... your continued comments are welcomed.
