Yes. I think there is a gamut called pro rgb or something like that. In fact, I think there are hundreds of color space gamuts, but some are device specific. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable will contribute here. I'm trying to sort some of this out for myself. I'm not sure what color space I

If you scan in Adobe RGB and save your original, you'll have all that information available. You won't lose anything by converting to sRGB. Then, if you someday decide to output to a device that takes a wide gamut, you'll have your original scan in wide gamut color space. Paul On Mar 5, 2005, at

Don, I own and use both. Bought the PZ-1 first and still like it better for slides. Flash compensation is easier with the PZ-1p, but rarely used by me. Frames per second is a bit faster on the PZ-1p also... Overall, they feel identical and are identical to use. Regards, Bob S. On Fri, 4 Mar 200

Yes, that's possible. I can scan in numerous color spaces, but what's the point of using Adobe RGB if I'm going to be outputting to sRGB. Wouldn't it make more sense to use the same color space from beginning to end? Remember, I'm not making inkjet prints, so, from what I understand, the Adobe s

Hi Shel, Can you set up your scanner to yield Adobe RGB color space? I think you're clipping some of the gamut by outputting to sRGB. Paul On Mar 5, 2005, at 6:58 AM, Shel Belinkoff wrote: OK, I do that but I'm working in the lab/paper specific color space to begin with. If, as David Mann sugges
