    ACR to PCC glitch?

    I pulled down your raw image and I'm not having this issue. Here's what I did: I opened your raw file in ACR and reset everything to the Default. I then clicked "Auto", applied some heavy handed noise reduction, saved the file as a .PSD to my desktop and closed ACR. I then re-opened your raw...

    First Shots With Rogue 3-in-1 Flash Grid (aka: Honeycomb)

    Well the Rogue, essentially, is a snoot; so if you find yourself using a snoot on the regs, the Rogue is a great choice. It's well designed, light and easy to use. On a more personal note, I really like what I'm going to call noir-style portraiture and my Rogue is my go-to modifier for that...

    Adobe RGB vs. sRGB

    Well here's a shot of ACR and the Workflow Options link is showing your raw file opened as an 8-bit, aRGB file on my end. Camera Raw uses 8-bit mode by default. I updated my ACR to use 16-bit mode by default, though... Unless a recent update maybe screwed that up (?!). Ugh... Now I'm going to...

    Adobe RGB vs. sRGB

    Hi Hark... I've downloaded your raw file and I'm looking at in ACR right now. One thing I notice is that your raw file opened in 8-bit mode. Is there some reason you're NOT working in 16-bit mode when processing raw files? Up to you of course but I thought I'd ask. Okay, so if the issue is...

    Adobe RGB vs. sRGB

    Fun stuff, no? LOL... Well, yes and no... aRGB is a broader color-space than sRGB. Period. However, there is much overlap between the two color-spaces... aRGB overlaps with sRGB everywhere except in the Blue and Green channels: ...... ..... That being the case I would say, "yes"; aRGB...

    Adobe RGB vs. sRGB

    I think the reason some people are not seeing a difference between the sRGB image(s) and the aRGB image(s) is because some browsers/image viewers respect color-space while others do not. It's entirely possible a particular phone, tablet, browser, etc. is displaying aRGB images in an sRGB...

    Adobe RGB vs. sRGB

    The difference is subtle but it's there, and I noticed it straight away. The aRGB image appears less saturated and slightly "muddier" than that of the sRGB version. The pics below show the difference clearly, I think. To make these, I simply cropped the same area (roughly) from the rust-colored...

    File order problem

    You are correct. sRGB files use: _DSC1234 aRGB files use: DSC_1234 If you shoot raw, the color-profile you work in will be determined by your raw converter; in your case that's Lightroom, so your raw files will open using the ProPhoto color-profile (by default). When you're done...
