Hang fire, when it's not so late and I'm more with it (sober) I shall attempt a response.

Completely forgot about this, until today, so apologies in advance.
I have included a screen-shot of my settings to make it clear, however for the colour space to prevent conversion problems you may wish to use AdobeRGB rather than ProPhoto. The Fogra39 is a more common European offset print process and the CMYK is really more for soft proofing accurately. The only other thing you may consider changing is the conversion options, where you may wish to change Relative Colormetric to Perceptual (it's 6 of one and 1/2 a dozen of the other, do some research to see what suits you).

I know this thread is over but i have another quick question I am now using Prophoto rgb and was wandering what other settings i should use in the colour settings menu - CMYK, Gray and Spot. I just want general settings as i dont have a specific printing lab I use or anything. Also I'm in the UK
Thanks for any help |

Don't know how that was posted again!! Thanks for your reply I've really appreciated your thoughts so I've been checking periodically ;-)
Right ok I'll go with these settings, I was wandering about the two spaces - I've heard that you have to be careful with 'space age colours' if you go over the top with prophoto, is it the same with adobeRGB? Is this just me being paranoid or can this happen easily? Would you have to be pretty crap for this to happen?!? Thanks again for getting back to me Hardly had time to use Photoshop this last week also had to reinstall my computer yawn! |

As ProPhoto is a much larger colour space you do have to be a little careful that you don't shift colours massively out of gamut when converting, some can have a tendency to clip, but on the whole as long as you confine yourself to working only in 16bit, and convert to 8bit only after editing and then converting the colour space to your intended output, (RGB,sRGB....)
At the end of the day it's better to work in the largest colour space, suitable for the job at hand, banding issues will be reduced and other histogram issues reduced. Convert to appropriate output and hope for the best

Thanks for your help I always shoot in 16 bit and think I would notice major colour problems. I guess I am being paranoid, I suppose I wanted to know if editing would be dramatitcally different to my old workflow. Thanks again for getting back to me and pointing me towards digitaldog as well it's a great resource! Seems I have only scratched the surface lol |
