Standard Vs Adobe RGB on 10D..... problems

Ok.. a bit of back ground... I have windows xp, photoshop 7.0 using

adobe 1998 for the color space, and have a custom monitor profile

created with a Spyder. Oh.. and a card reader as opposed to hooking

the camera up to the comp for transfer...

 

That said.. why is it that when I shoot my 10D in standard mode, the

thumbnails and so forth all pop up, but if i swich it over to adobe,

they wont.... on the computer that is.. now I can understand that

since the comp isnt opperating in the same color space it might not

be able to convert.. but the computer wont even let me copy the

images off of my card reader and onto the hard drive.. The only way I

can transfer is to shoot the images in standard.. or use the camera

to convert them.. either way it defeats the purpose of it...

 

Is the Adobe RGB function on the camera only to be used with a Mac

platform? I believe the 1Ds has the same sort of color space

choices.. Has anyone noticed this problem with theirs?

 

It's going to get really tiresome if I have to convert every image I

ever shoot with this camera when I open it in photoshop.

Hi Chris - I'm told my 10D will arrive today, so I have no experience with it quite yet.

I'm not sure if I'm understanding the question right, because XP will show thumbnails, natively in the OS, as well as PS7. Is it not showing up under XP, PS, or both? I've included a little blurb below from dpreview.com just in case it might shed any light. If my 10D shows up today, I'll give it a shot and let you know - I have XP too. I don't *think* using a Mac is relevent. From the dpreview bit below, it looks like you might have to convert as you open each image. But the colorspace theoretically shouldn't affect whether you can see the thumbnails or not. Best wishes! ...Beau

 

"The EOS-10D now provides support for the Adobe RGB color space. This is accessed by selecting the parameter set 'Adobe RGB', once selected however it is not possible to make any individual parameter adjustments (such as tone, sharpness, contrast, saturation). Note that the color of the Adobe RGB will look dull on your sRGB monitor, you will need to load it into a color space smart application such as Adobe Photoshop and assign the 'Adobe RGB' profile."

Thanx for the info Beau. I guess I should run some more tests and just see if its some fluke thing. It certainly sounds like it should show them.. and it didn't make any sense that i couldnt transfer them.. a jpg is a jpg.. doesnt matter what the color space is, it should still transfer....
