Color space
The color space option allows you to select methods for representing 
colors. Digital imaging devices such as digital cameras, monitors, and 
printers have their own methods for representing colors, which are called 
color spaces.
OptionDescription
sRGB
sRGB (Standard RGB) is an international specification 
to define the color space created by IEC (International 
Electrotechnical Commission). It is widely used for 
creating colors on PC monitors and is also the standard 
color space for Exif. sRGB is recommended for regular 
images and images you intend to publish on the 
Internet.
Adobe RGB
Adobe RGB is used for commercial printing and has a 
larger color range than sRGB. Its wider range of colors 
helps you to easily edit photos on a computer. Note 
that individual programs are generally compatible 
with a limited number of color spaces.
