Colour Workshop - Settings

When you want to use your images, be it for web viewing or for printing, it is important that you store your images in the correct settings depending on what output device it is intended for,i.e., a printer, a website etc.

Saving your images as sRGB files is a good all round application as it is good fro printing as well as web viewing, Adobe RGB is the best setting if you are in control at every stage from capture to print as it will deliver the best colour options, and ProPhoto is good if you need to be exceptionally accurate with tones and colours. When saving images for screen or web viewing use 72dpi, and for printing use 240 dpi.
