[QUOTE="Blade Canyon, post: 462717, member: 15302"] Okay, I took one RAW image (shot with D800 set to AdobeRGB) and processed it two ways. I saved the first file as a JPEG with the embedded Adobe Color Profile. For the second output file, I selected Convert Profile from the Edit menu, converting to sRGB. Saved that as a JPEG with the embedded sRGB profile. Both images have been uploaded to the Flickr album linked below. Remember, these are the same source photo. On my monitor at home, and in Windows Media Viewer, I see no differences at all. But on my phone or iPad, there is a significant difference. The sRGB, which is a 1mb bigger file, is more vibrant. In fact, this may be why I've always thought that pictures from phones or cheaper cameras sometimes seem more vibrant than my DSLR pics (because those images were in sRGB all the time). Almost all of my work is viewed electronically, so I might just change all of my camera and Photoshop settings to sRGB and forget about it. Also in the album is a third picture, shot at the same time, in sRGB camera mode, then opened from ACR in 16 bit sRGB mode in PS. Then saved as a JPEG sRGB. Again I see no difference on my monitor, and on my phone it looks the same as the other sRGB pic. The three output files are in a Flickr album here: [URL]https://www.flickr.com/photos/41728000@N08/sets/72157654408152976[/URL] Conclusion? Saving JPEGS with Adobe color profiles can produce dull pictures when viewed online or on devices. Shoot in RAW and process files however you want for the situation. If I'm not shooting in RAW, I don't intend to print, so will change all my camera bodies to sRGB. I will also change everything in PS and ACR set to sRGB, but will convert the RAW to AdobeRGB if I intend to print. Or, IOW, exactly what OP Scott Murray said. [/QUOTE]
