Color Space of Files

[JPSuisse]

Hi all

I don't know how many of you are using Mac OS X, but there is a really good utility called Color Sync, with which you can compare the color space of various hardware.

Does anybody know, if there is a similar tool to compare the color space of files to pre-defined color spaces like Adobe RGB or sRGB? What I mean is, a file may have an assigned profile of Wide Gamut RGB but really only use colors in the Adobe RGB color space. Such a program would show such differences...

Cheers,

John

It might be worth checking out Norman Koren's Gamut vision. Alternatively use gamut warning in photoshop - it shoes when colours in your file are out of gamut in a target space, but not how far out they are.

Hi Sojurner!

Thanks for the tip about Norman Korman and Gamut Vision. I don't have a working PC anymore (only Macs...) but the website is chock full of information!!!

Gamut Vision is exactly what I was looking for... Now I have to see if anything remotely similar will run on a Mac.

Thanks again.

Cheers, JP
