Thanks Michael. Very clear and concise. Easy to follow.

Great tutorial, many thanks. I have a Nikon D600 and D810 both have Colour space options for sRGB or Adobe RGB, which one matches Pro Photo best ?

[@michaelpilkington9810]

Hi Liam, The colour space on your camera relates to the JPEG file only. It does onot affect the RAW file. For JPEG I would use Adobe RGB

[@liamhoad8445]

Mike. Many thanks.

​Hi Michael - Thanks very much for this excellent video tutorial. Just a couple of quick questions if you wouldn't mind.
First regarding the 360 resolution for Epson ​printers, I thought you and Paul were laying down ink at 180 ppi​?
Secondly, I seem to have had Perceptual selected in my settings rather than Relative Colorimetric, is this a big issue?
Stay safe.

[@michaelpilkington9810]

HI Sandy, The native resolution of the Epson printer is 360 dpi. Post process at the highest resolution and bit depth. When you print you can choose 180 or 2360 dpi on the Epson printer. For A3+ you will not see a difference in quality.

@@michaelpilkington9810 How about the Perceptual - Relative Colorimetric issue? Thanks Michael.

@@sandyweir9692 I think that would be the sibject of another video!!!

Does this apply to Infrared processing as well?

[@michaelpilkington2721]

Hi Vivien, yes you should colour manage all programs and calibrate your monitor for all post processing including B&W and IR

Whilst I found most of the video well explained perhaps you could expand on why I should use ProPhoto RGB when my screen can at it's best setting only work to 99% Adobe RGB 1998?

[@michaelpilkington2721]

It's a good question. Simply some paper and ink combinations can print some colours that are outside of Adobe 98 but in ProPhoto.

@@michaelpilkington2721 Thanks for replying but given the stress on calibrating the screen (and I can only do that to Adobe RGB) I do remain a little confused. Of course it might be just me :-)
