Color system, also known as color
space refers to the way
in which colors are represented by
numbers abstract. In
short, the color space determines
the colors that are visible in a
desired picture. When buying a camera
or photo software,
you can select one of three
different
types of color systems,
each with unique properties for
specific needs.The three options for color systems are sRGB, Adobe RGB and ColorMatch RGB. The sRGB color space is a generalized system, which is the default configuration of Windows XP, Web browsers and most image editors. As such, sRGB is the color system used by almost all digital cameras today. If the camera does not come with options for color space, is likely to be equipped with sRGB.
The ColorMatch RGB color space is one of the central route, which includes more colors than sRGB. Although generally not available in the point and shoot cameras or digital RGB color system is one that illuminates ColorMatch images easily, especially those that are too dark.
Finally, the Adobe RGB color system is one that is wider than sRGB in offering a wide range of colors. Therefore, this color space is usually available only in the high range, the more expensive cameras.
The Adobe RGB color system also supports CMYK links. Because it has a broader color spectrum, the Adobe RGB space is the best color choice for printed photos.
