Why is it recommended that DCC projected images use sRGB color space?
You probably work in either sRGB or Adobe RGB color space. The Adobe RGB color space is larger (contains more colors) than sRGB and is great for prints. sRGB was created to match the limited capability of the typical color monitor. As such, it is the default color space and assumed by non-color managed software. This includes the Internet, all Microsoft applications, ProShow Gold, SmoothShow, Picasa, etc. Since we do not know what software our judges will use to view our Projected Images, it makes sense to revert to the sRGB default color space. That way, one is ensured that the judge is seeing the image colors as close as possible to what you intended. The software that DCC uses to show images and slide shows at the meetings also assumes sRGB color space. If you leave the color space as Adobe RGB and the image is viewed with un-color managed software, the image will appear desaturated. See the example below – B is an Adobe RGB image viewed on an unmanaged platform as sRGB and A is the
