I saw this out on engadget this weekend and thought it looked interesting. I wonder what our cameras see that we can't. Maybe I'm photogenic after all.

I have to admit I think I only see in sRGB. Too much time in front of monitors has conditioned my brain, probably.

Most people can see much of CIE LAB Color space though it is wider then CIE RGB which is wider then standard sRGB. The problem is that most output devices (monitors, printers ...) can not reproduce it. This diagrams are not accurate because they are converted to a smaller color space by ICM or monitors but should give you an idea:

Luminous Landscape is a really strong site if you want to get technical.

Thanks for the link Pher. Good stuff. I always shoot sRGB... I'll have to check out the other ones so sometime.

ProPhoto actually supports imaginative and certainly invisible colors but it is a future and it gives you much better rendering as a result (wider gamut means you will be able to recover most of the highlights and all shadows).
If I could give you people some advice is to open your RAW/NEF files using this color space and later convert to something that can be reproduced by your printers or monitors.Posted 3 years ago #
