Benefits of the ProPhoto RGB Colour Space

In his latest article Luminous Landscape editor Michael Reichmann explores the benefits of using the ProPhoto RGB colour space.

“In the end, using ProPhoto RGB as your working colour space has many advantages, though a few caveats. The main advantage to my mind is that as technology progresses, and we end of with affordable monitors and LCDs with wider gamut display capability, and as printing inks have wider gamut (Epson’s new K3 Ultrachrome inks have a fuller gamut, not a significantly wider gamut), we will have image files that we can return to that can take advantage of these advances, rather than ones that were clipped at birth.”
