Pai Color Space
Color spaces define the correspondence between colors and the
numeric values that represent them in a digital image file. The sRGB
color space is widely used, while the Adobe RGB color space is typically
used in publishing and commercial printing. sRGB is recommended
when taking photographs that will be printed without modification or
viewed in applications that do not support color management, or when
taking photographs that will be printed with ExifPrint, the direct
printing option on some household printers, or kiosk printing or other
commercial print services. Adobe RGB photographs can also be printed
using these options, but colors will not be as vivid.
JPEG photographs taken in the Adobe RGB color space are Exif 2.21 and
OCF 2.0 compliant; applications and printers that support Exif 2.21 and
OCF 2.0 will select the correct color space automatically. If the
application or device does not support Exif 2.21 and OCF 2.0, select the
appropriate color space manually. An ICC color profile is embedded in
TIFF photographs taken in the Adobe RGB color space, allowing
applications that support color management to automatically select
the correct color space. For more information, see the documentation
provided with the application or device.
Pai Nikon Software
