I think I understand what color profiles are. I do not understand, what is the difference in manipulating photo for example in photoshop in 16bpp sRGB and 16bpp Adobe RGB. My monitor can only show me sRGB.
- Is there any difference in algorithms?
- Maybe there is some preprocessing executed before program displays effects of my work (for example
AdobeRGB(0.3, 0.25, 0.82)is being displayed assRGB(0.301, 0.253, 0.819)in my monitor)? - Is there any sense in using different color profiles when I am not using ICC profile of my monitor/printer?
- In general – what should I do if I would want to develop my own graphics-manipulating application that supports profile different than sRGB (for example in Qt)?
