Why do my images that were captured in the Adobe RGB colorspace look faded?

Digital Photography FAQ
You are not viewing these images in a colorspace aware application. Note that most web browsers are not colorspace aware. You are viewing these images in a colorspace aware application, but have not assigned the proper colorspace to the images. Assigning colorspaces to images may not be an automatic process for several reasons: Your application simply may not do this automatically. Your application might have the ability to do this automatically, but it may need to be properly configured.

Should I use Adobe RGB or sRGB?

Digital Photography FAQ
Adobe RGB offers some advantages, but also some pitfalls if you don't know what you're doing. Here are the advantages: Adobe RGB has a wider gamut and can therefore encode a wider range of colors, allowing you to display a wider range of colors on devices that are compatible and able to display these colors. You will need to use an application that is colorspace aware (and you will need to understand how to use that application properly).

How will still images captured from video look on the web?

Digital Video (DV) Frequently Asked Questions
For the XL1 (which is the only camera I own), this varies depending on whether you used Frame Movie Mode or Regular video mode. With digital SLRs reasonably affordable, I no longer recommend this technique for images that are not cut out of moving video. At the same time, I also found that you can cut memorable stills out of your video when you're shooting live action, and I still recommend doing that. Just don't try to print the images; they won't look good.

How are images captured from modalities....?

Frequently Asked Questions
Images can be captured either by a video capture (frame grabber) board which connects directly to the composite video signal of either the image processor or the modality console, or digitally by connecting directly from the modality to a workstation over a network (i.e., Ethernet). The least expensive method of acquiring digital data is through a DICOM file transfer.

Where can I find out about Colorspace?

Digital Imaging - dslreports.com
It's such a basic fundamental I thought I'd write up a tutorial for our budding photographers or more advanced photographers who are so bored they are reading this right now. Photography is Greek for writing with light (phos,phot=light + graphos=writing). In a nutshell, photography boils down to writing with light. All the film or CCD captures is light reflections. Thus, it is imperative that the correct amount of light reaches the recording surface. This is called exposure.

Why are images in RGB format instead of CMYK?

frequently asked questions
Images from Ecliptic are intended to be as versatile as possible. We simply believe it’s best that our customers determine exactly how images are converted to CMYK. When an RGB image is converted to CMYK, several parameters must be considered, including paper stock, four-colour film output device, layout software programs used, types of inks used and special effects, etc. which, we feel, are decisions best left to the designer.

Should I use CMYK, RGB or grayscale images?

Lulu.com - Self Publishing - Free
Depending on which type of binding you choose for your book, there are different ways to optimize your document for print. For all black and white books (except comic size), the source document and images should be in grayscale mode. For full color books, the source document and/or images should be in the original colorspace. If it was created in RGB, DO NOT convert it to CMYK and vice versa. If your full color book contains black and white images, set each black and white image to grayscale.

How can I capture grayscale images from an RGB camera?

Frequently Asked Questions about Frame Grabbers
There are two methods for capturing grayscale images from an RGB camera. The first is to simply capture from the green signal (source 2 in the 'Video Control' dialog box). The green signal contains the majority of the grayscale information of a color image. The second method is to use Image's 'Capture Color' command. After the three color slices are captured, choose the 'RGB to 8 Bit Color' command with the existing palette option selected.

How do I sharpen my captured images?

Digital Video (DV) Frequently Asked Questions
I read your FAQ on non-linear editing with interest. I've just started making movies from MiniDV footage on my Mac with Radius MotoDV. (Mac 8500/200, Panasonic NV-DS1). I have a possibly useful hint for sharpening up images captured between frames of interlaced video. I found this quite by accident when I tried to use a captured fame as a still background for fading credits in Premier. I had a captured pic (a lot like the one on your FAQ) of some big goldfish swimming in shallow water.

How are images captured with a digital camera?

Digital Imaging - dslreports.com
Depth of field will become narrow if your aperture is wide open (f/1.8 or f/2.8) and will widen if you use a narrower aperture (f/8 or f/11) These are some of the more confusing topics in digital photography, and often the camera company doesn't give specifics. A reasonably comprehensive table with explanations is here:

Why does the captured picture look corrupted?

Palantir - Frequently asked questions
First, try some other video capture application (e.g. xawtv) to make sure that your device is properly working and the correct driver is loaded. If your video standard is NTSC or SECAM, check that the proper video norm is selected: you need to add VideoNorm NTSC or VideoNorm SECAM to the global section of your configuration file. Note that the VideoNorm directive was implemented in version 2.4.1 of the server; all previous versions forced the video norm to PAL. If you are running a pre-2.4.

What about CMYK colorspace?

We want it too. Hopefully in some near future version of gnome-print. Unfortunately it is area picked with patents, so probably we cannot give top-of-the-industry solution here. It is not so cool at all. In model-view-controller context both current gnome-canvas and gnome-print-context implement single view. Adding subview (printing interface) to existing view (canvas) is not very good idea.

Why does the contrast look different between images?

Cassini-Huygens: FAQ
The camera measures light from an object at each point in an image and assigns it a number from zero to 4095 depending on its brightness. Sometimes the scientist can't afford to send this amount of data for each pixel because of the amount of storage it takes. The camera has the ability to convert this range of values to those from zero to 255. The camera does this according to a preset table of values designed by the scientists.
