[QUOTE="crisscross, post: 43769, member: 8717"] While still playing with the set-up of my newish D7000, I picked up the thread directing one to Ken Rockwell's set up guide and was surprised he is pretty adamant camera should be set to sRGB & in turn directs to his fuller discussion [URL="http://kenrockwell.com/tech/adobe-rgb.htm"]sRGB vs. Adobe RGB[/URL] I have so far been among the possibly mis-led that thought the camera should be set to the 'best' ie Adobe RGB setting and any colour the hardware and software one uses can't handle would be discarded later. I do always convert to sRGB for web use, but do notice that here, yes, all reductions from the originally posted size go dull and 'orrible (as is the case on pbase). Likewise Ken's 'ramps' look as on the website in some software, but in Capture NX2, the cruddy Adobe RGB ramp is restored to look virtually identical to the sRGB I do all my own printing on a cheapo printer (Canon ix4000) and, except when I could get the HP pro paper, I admit enormous difficulty in printing. However, Ken does sometimes go off on tangents and as a full test out is going to take a while, I am wondering what you guys ACTUALLY have the camera set to and why? [/QUOTE]
