Color matching – Color preferences
Each output device (monitor or printer) defines color and contrast differently. To ensure accurate
reproduction, the output color space must be defined. Color matching is used for professional color
management. It is not needed for normal personal use.
Original Color Space (sRGB) – the color space of the camera image is not converted to a standard
color space. This color space is recommended for images captured with a Minolta DiMAGE digital
camera. The DiMAGE Viewer, monitor, and printer interprets the color as sRGB for reproduction pur-
poses, but does not convert the original camera color space.
Original Color Space (Adobe RGB) – Adobe-RGB color-mode images captured with a Minolta digi-
tal camera such as the DiMAGE 7Hi must be opened with this color space unless the color profile
has been embedded; see the embedded camera profiles section on page 82. As with Original Color
Space (sRGB), the color space of the camera image is not converted to a standard color space. The
DiMAGE Viewer, monitor, and printer interprets the color as Adobe RGB for reproduction purposes,
but does not convert the original camera color space.
sRGB – the color space promoted by Hewlett Packard and Microsoft. Since it reflects the average
PC monitor characteristics, it is widely used around the world, and is considered to be the standard
for multi-media and Internet usage. sRGB is not suitable for professional prepress applications
because of its narrow reproduction range.
