- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Okay, I get that it "depends" on what it is that you're doing with the images that determines the color space that you use... but since yesterday I noticed a big difference between the coloring of the band images I edited on my computer and the ones that were uploaded to Flickr, I finally decided to investigate.
Of course, now I have questions.
So LR3 edits in ProPhoto something or other... and I guess that can't be changed.
Okay, fine.
And the color space that is best for web work is sRGB... right?
So when I'm exporting from LR to PS, should I *leave* the image as ProPhoto... edit it in CS5 as ProPhoto, and just *export* it as an sRGB? Or do I export it from LR as an sRGB and work in the same space in CS5 so that I know exactly what the colors will look like when I upload them to the web as I'm working?
And what happens if what I'm working on is meant for *both* print AND sRGB? Is it better to edit in ... what is it?... AdobeRGB?... to get the most colors for print and then just export a jpeg version in sRGB for web?
