You are probbly asking why I am so concerned with colours,if 99% of my work is BW? Well, just because the more and bigger the colour info is, ( do not forget that I shoot in raw, which means an unprocessed image right out of the camera )- more gradations from black to white I can obtain. That´s why... |O| :Happy :brb

A further note on this matter: Prophoto RGB is valid when working with 16bits uncompressed or lossly compressed images - raw´s and Tiffs - as in jpegs, as the "info" is compressed and available at 8bits, the whole available information of the "camera colour space" - a camera colour space is even bigger than AdobeRGB and a little big wider than Prophoto RGB - that hits the sensor is already compressed and "clipped" thus loosing forever valuable colour information.Over and out |O|
