1. Re: Newbie Question My Photos print and show desaturated color
Tai Lao Jun 30, 2011 12:48 PM (in response to Steve Little)Please click on the link below and read the entire site carefully. Then follow the instructions to the letter.

In a nutshell:
• Calibrate and profile your monitor. Set the resulting profile as your monitor profile. Never use a device independent color space (such as ProPhoto RGB, Adobe RGB or sRGB) as your monitor profile. Only use your calibrated profile specific to your monitor.
• honor the embedded profile in each file;
• when sending your images to a run-of-the mill lab, convert your images to sRGB (do not use assign profile; use CONVERT to profile) and embed the sRGB profile in them.
The above site explains it all to you.

Both Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw ignore all your in-camera settings (except Exposure and White Balance) in RAW files. In-camera settings apply only to JPEGs.

Steve Little Jul 2, 2011 5:17 AM (in response to Tai Lao)Hi
Yes that helped. I was exporting a photo from Lightroom as RGB Pro when it has an imbedded color space of sRGB.
Will keep reading till I know it back the front.
Thanks

Steve Little Jul 2, 2011 5:19 AM (in response to Tai Lao)Just to tidy up I actually meant the camera profiles available in lightroom to adjust RAW files Not from in my camera. Many Thanks
