New scRGB color space

[wormmeshi]

This is an interesting article about a new color space. Not sure if this is a good thing or not given the tug-of-war between sRGB and AdobeRGB.

Yet another attempt by Microsoft to dominate the world. :)

I'm not sure who they are targeting this at and I think there are a few dubious statements in there. Certainly at the consumer end you'll need colour managed programs to make any sense of it - as indeed you do with any colour space.

Also many screens - if that's the end result - still can't exceed sRGB. Average printers aren't much better.

Then we already have spaces like ProPhoto which are supposed to be as wide as what most cameras can produce anyway in RAW.

To me at least it's just another so what, like Vista is.

And then there's v4 sRGB that Internet Explorer doesn't support but Photoshop and Adode pdf reader do. You can see what your browser does to it here:
