Colors or Colours? Same-same but different. Last week I started writing a article with the mission of finding my ideal color space on my camera Canon EOS 5D mark II. After a lot of help from people on foto.no,  this is what came out of it.

1. When pictures are recorded / saved in RAW format, color space settings on the camera is indifferent, since this information is not recorded in the file it self. The reason that I got confused, was that the working color space in my Lightroom was set to sRGB and not ProRGB (another color space..), which for some reason made a difference when I exported RAW images from Lightroom.

2. 16 bits color depth is also possible when using sRGB

3. When recording / saving pictures to JPG, use Adobe RGB. If the pictures are to be used on screen / web, convert to sRGB ( like the picture bellow).

As simple as that (until next time I get confused)
