Color Comparison between sRGB and AdobeRGB

Color Comparison between sRGB and AdobeRGB

We'll take your file and "cook" your color two ways by applying sRGB to one profile and Adobe RGB to another. This only works if your images are not already converted to CMYK. 

In this process all you need to do is let us know which version you like better by saying either "I like sRGB" or "I like Adobe RGB". We will target whichever one you like more. 

What if I like some images Adobe RGB and some sRGB?

If you like some pages of one and some of another, you will need to convert those particular elements in photoshop by clicking here.

I have bright colors (like highlighter pens) in my document. How will those turn out?

The best way to see how bright and flourescent colors will turn out, use output preview. Find out more by clicking here.

Example


The folder we send you will look something like this. One file has the entire document set as Adobe RGB. The other set to sRGB



Adobe RGB (left side) has a larger range of color so colors will be stronger and brighter. sRGB has less but most programs have sRGB defaulted so the colors will likely be closer to your intent.
