Internally, C1 uses a profile similar to ProPhotoRBG (see: Colors in Capture One - even though this is for C1 v8, it should still apply to v10 as well.). You will get poor color accuracy if the editing program applies the monitor profile incorrectly (e.g., a second time).Īll of these factors are covered by the broad topic of Color Management. The monitor profile (default or by calibration) is usually applied at the system level.

A wide-gamut color space like Profoto RGB will appear unsaturated, whereas sRGB will be much brighter, closer to its color-managed appearance. That said, the color space makes a significant difference when displayed in a non-color managed program like most internet browsers. You may notice a change in gamut between sRGB and other settings, but the colors will be unchanged. This is different from color space, and is generally a permanent change once saved.Ĭapture One is a color-managed program, which will read the embedded color space and display it correctly, regardless of the setting. This would be my first line of inquiry into the problem. You can defeat these settings, change them to suit your needs, or accept the results and work from that point. Most conversion programs have default adjustment settings which will change the appearance of the image. You can set a default in Photoshop, but it will work in whatever color space it detects in the image, or convert it per your instructions. My educated guess is that Capture One applies the default color space (Profit RGB) to original output, not to the imported image. I doubt that Capture One is guilty of this, but check the settings nonetheless. Make sure the default setting is the same as the original. You can test this in Photoshop under the EDIT command, CONVERT or ASSIGN, and see the effect immediately. If the editor ASSIGNS a new color space, each word in the image file is mapped to new colors, which will be incorrect. If your editor CONVERTS that to a new color space, e.g., Profoto RGB, there is no problem since the file contents are adjusted appropriately. Most of the cameras I've used (Nikon, Sony, Leica) give you color space options of sRGB or Adobe RGB.
