If it doesn’t, use the method of your choice to make the colors look like you want (say, using a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer). Next, choose View > Proof Colors (or press Command-Y) to see your image in sRGB. Soft proofing gives you the opportunity to tweak the colors to your liking before you have it printed.Īfter you’re finished editing the image, here’s what you do: In Photoshop, open the image and choose View > Proof Setup > Internet Standard RGB (sRGB). All but Elements lets you view the image in a different color space-a process called soft proofing-without actually converting the file to the smaller sRGB color space (so you don’t lose data). Happily, Photoshop, Elements, and Lightroom can show you what the image will look like when the photo’s colors are limited to the sRGB color space. However, if the image was captured on a higher end camera with a different color space, if you use a different color space in Photoshop, Elements, or Lightroom, if the image was scanned from a printed photo, or if it was given to you and you don’t know how it was created, then the image may live in a different and larger color space than sRGB. (If you’re capturing images in raw format, you can assign any color space you want to them though raw conversion apps such as Camera Raw, Lightroom, and Aperture use ProPhoto RGB.) Soft proofing Fortunately, sRGB is the default setting for capturing JPEGs in most cameras-including iOS devices-and it’s the standard color space for the Internet and iPhoto and the Photos app. Most online printing companies assume that your photos use the sRGB color space, which includes the printing services mentioned above as well as Shutterfly, Snapfish, SmugMug, and so on. For example, next to the human eye, ProPhoto RGB is the largest color space to date, followed by others such as Adobe RGB (1998), sRGB, and CMYK.
These color spaces vary in size and thus the range of colors they can produce. Color spaces have names such as Adobe RGB (1998), ProPhoto RGB, sRGB, and CMYK. Without diving too deeply into technical territory, color space refers to the range of colors available when your image is captured, displayed or printed.
In this infographic, you can see how small the sRGB color space is (pictured in color) when compared with Adobe RGB (1998) and ProPhoto RGB.

In this column, you’ll learn how to control the color space in Photoshop, Elements, and Lightroom to be sure the colors you see on your display are as close as possible to the colors you get in the printed projects you order online. The problem is rooted in the difference between the color space of your image versus the color space used by online printing services.
