mac04 Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 hello,anyone got experience in comparing adobe sRGB and the smaller sRGB.i am thinking about selling my fuji s2 and buying a canon 10d, because the canon gives me the possibility to choose between adobe sRGB and sRGB.i dont know why, but it is not mentioned often, but i guess this is a heavy reason if a photo is printed in good quality or excellent color quality.also i need to know : when i open the canon 10d RAW picture in photoshop as a tif, is it a 16bit or a 8bit photo?thank youmarc
cgo Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 The Canon and Breeze software offer 8 or 16 bit conversions - your choice ...
basscheffers Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 Adobe RGB is your friend. sRGB is a limited color space, which should display roughly the same on every moniter. What you do is shoot in Adobe RGB, do all your editing and then convert to sRGB if you are saving for the web or printing by a digital service (Fuji Frontier, et al)

ellis_vener_photography Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 A more economical switch for you would be from the S2 to the Nikon D100. You have 3 choices of capture color space: NEF (Nikon RAW), Adobe RGB(1998), or sRGB; there is no such thing as Adobe sRGB. You can also savethe files in eitherthe NEF, TIFF o JPEG (at least three levels of JPEG)format. With the low end Canon, you are limited to either RAW or JPEG. <P>RAW files , either Canon or Nikon (NEF) or Fuji (are opened in Photoshop as 16 bit per channel files.<P> Sticking with a Nikon F mount camera you won't have to buy new lens and you'll have the option of using a much wider angle lens, the 12-24mm AFS Nikkor, than Canon offers or is planning to offer anytime soon for the 10D or future cameras with a similar sized chip.
carl smith Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 The 12-24 is nice lens to be able to get, although the lack of Tiff is nothing I cry about. Regardless I think Ellis is right, don't switch systems unless you have to, get a D100 and stick with Nikon, it will save you money when you don't have to replace all your lenses and flashes.
robert_reis2 Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 Fuji S2 Pro raw files have Adobe RGB and sRGB as option.
berg_na Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 As mentioned above, the Fuji S2 already comes with a utility to <a href="http://www.steves-digicams.com/2002_reviews/s2_pg6.html">convert raw files</a> to 16-bit tiff files in Adobe RGB color space. The Canon 10D supports A-RGB, albeit with <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos10d/page12.asp">some limitations</a>. In practice, I personally don't find much of an advantage in using A-RGB, in spite of its wider gamut.
