This means if you are in Adobe RGB you will not get a huge colour shift nor loose large amounts of CMYK gamut by going from Adobe RGB to CMYK.
Hi Matthew.
Adobe RGB has a Gamut generally far larger than most CMYK devices except in certain colours where presses can beat it. If you shoot a supersaturated blue of the right (wrong?) hue you will get profound disappointment when converting to most CMYK spaces. This is why some prefer to use a smaller or more tailored RGB than Adobe RGB as their working space , and also why you will find such RGB spaces as Gettty RGB which is a Heidelberg scanner space. We even came across a software manufacturer whose working RGB space in their special RGB /Conversion software was limited to the boundaries of a small CMYK space . This way , you get hardly any shift on conversion , and think that the software is brilliant. "course , you will already have thrown away a shedlload of RGB information if you choose this as your working space after having captured on a high end system, be it camera or scanner.
