A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Unsure which color space to use (alien.top)

So i have a new display that supports image p3 and 86% adobe rgb. I have always shot and edited in srgb, but the new display, when calibrated to their respective color spaces, looks more vibrant in adobe rgb. i can see more color (who whould've guessed). not more saturated, i just feel in the greens there is more detail.

Now i am wondering, if i should set my camera to shoot adobe rgb. Most of my work is posted online, or kept digitally for the most part. Occasionally i do print. On my macbook i set the integrated screen to dci p3 and did not notice a difference between how the images on instagram looked on my macbook or my phone.

Adobe rgb does have some advantages but i dont know if i should use it. could there be color differences between how i see the image on my adobe rgb screen and someones srgb screen? does instagram convert adobe rgb images into srgb automatically and how does adobe rgb affect websites and people viewing images on that website?

I just have so many questions but can't seem to find answers. thanks in advance

IF you are sharing your photos online, you should stick with sRGB. Here's a good video on the topic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2ZJx5eDUoc
