WORD - Color Space

Did you know that most digital SLR cameras can typically capture photos in different types of color spaces?  The most common color spaces for cameras are sRGBAdobe RGB (typically on Canons), and ProRes RGB (typically on Nikons).  The most common of all would be sRGB.  sRGB was originally created in 1996 by HP and Microsoft to develop a universal color space for the web as well as for digital displays and printing.  Adobe RGB and ProRes RGB have a wider gamut of colors that can make your photos look better.  sRGB might make your photos look a bit more dull, but typically we have to convert them to sRGB (or embed color profiles) in Photoshop when sending them to print.  Check out these two links to learn more about setting your color space for your digital camera:
