The choice of output color space depends on how the image will be reproduced. For most home
use where the image is displayed on a monitor or printed with a small printer, sRGB color space
is adequate. Other color spaces have been included for professional and technical applications.
For recommendations for color space use, see page 63.
sRGB: the color space promoted by Hewlett Packard and Microsoft. Since it reflects the average
PC monitor characteristics, it is considered to be the standard for multi-media and Internet usage.
sRGB is not suitable for professional prepress applications because of its narrow reproduction
range.
Apple RGB: widely used in DTP. It is the standard color space in many common graphic arts and
design applications: Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.
SMPTE-C: this is the current standard used in television broadcasting in the United States.
PAL/SECOM: this is the current standard used in television broadcasting in Europe.
ColorMatch RGB: this color space standard has a wide color space and is ideal for use with
Radius Press View monitors, which are commonly used in prepress production.
Adobe RGB: this color space standard is wider than ColorMatch RGB. The extensive color range
makes it ideal for prepress use. However, the range is so great that it includes many colors that
cannot be printed with a four-color printing process.
Gamut RGB: utilizing the color coordinates of the spectrum, this standard offers an extremely
extensive range of colors. However, most of the colors that can be generated cannot be repro-
duced on standard computer monitors or by printing technology.
NTSC: the current television broadcasting standard used in Japan.
CIE RGB: this color space is defined by the CIE (Commission Internationale d`Eclairage).
Monitor RGB: this color space is defined by the monitor’s ICC profile. See setting the monitor
ICC profile section on page 62.
