OUTPUT COLOUR SPACE<br />
The choice of output colour space is dependent on how the image will be reproduced. For most<br />
home use where the image is displayed on a monitor or printed with a small printer, sRGB colour<br />
space is adequate. Other colour spaces have been included for professional and technical applications.<br />
For recommendations for colour space use, see page 90.<br />
sRGB<br />
The colour space promoted by Hewlett Packard and Microsoft. Since it reflects the average PC<br />
monitor characteristics, this standard is widely used around the world, and is considered to be the<br />
standard for multi-media and Internet usage. However, sRGB is not suitable for professional prepress<br />
applications because of its narrower saturation reproduction range compared with other<br />
colour spaces.<br />
Apple RGB<br />
This has been available since the introduction of the Apple 13” monitor. It is widely used in DTP, and<br />
was used as a standard default setting in many common graphic arts and design applications:<br />
Adobe Illustrator, <strong>Photo</strong>shop, etc. Because the colour space is wider than sRGB, it is commonly<br />
used in the production of printed material.<br />
SMPTE-C<br />
This is the current standard used in television broadcasting in the United States.<br />
PAL/SECAM<br />
This is the current standard used in television broadcasting in Europe.<br />
ColourMatch RGB<br />
This colour space standard has a wide colour space and is ideal for use with Radius Press View<br />
monitors, which are commonly used in prepress production.<br />
Adobe RGB<br />
This colour space standard is wider than ColourMatch RGB. The extensive range of colours available<br />
makes this standard ideal for prepress use. However, the range is so great that it includes<br />
many colours that cannot be printed with a four-colour (CMYK) printing process.<br />
Broad Spectrum Colour Scale RGB<br />
Utilising the colour coordinates of the spectrum, this standard offers an extremely extensive range of<br />
colours. However, most of the colours that can be generated cannot be reproduced on standard<br />
computer monitors or by printing technology.<br />
NTSC<br />
This is the current standard used in television broadcasting in Japan.<br />
CIE RGB<br />
This colour space is defined by the CIE (Commission Internationale d`Eclairage).<br />
Monitor RGB<br />
This colour space is defined by the monitors ICC profile.<br />
