Your colors look muted because (if I understand you correctly) you're shooting in aRGB. Your camera is set to shoot in RAW, using aRGB, correct?Once you've taken the shot in aRGB it stays an aRGB file until you convert it to another colorspace. Just opening an aRGB, or sRGB, file in a wider gamut like Pro RGB does not bestow that file with that particular gamut.Opening a file shot in the aRGB color space and then displaying it in an aRGB color space is like putting five pounds of flour in a five pound sack, it's a perfect fit.Opening a file shot in the aRGB color space and then displaying it in an sRGB color space is like putting five pounds of flour in a three pound sack, there has to be some "clipping" to make it all fit.But you're Displaying an aRGB file in a Pro RGB color space, which is like putting five pounds of flour in a ten-pound pound sack; the display space has a much wider gamut than what the file itself contains (it's still aRGB because that's how you took the shot). Opening an aRGB file in a Pro RGB color space does not convert that file to the Pro RGB color space and while you CAN convert the aRGB file to Pro RGB the colors will still look muted because you took the shot in aRGB. You'll still need to process the RAW file to bring out the proper saturation, contrast, sharpness etc.</blockquote>
