How can I compare sRGB and AdobeRGB in Photoshop?

[1 QKAZZ]

Hello. I already have a method but I want to be sure  is it correc to compare.

 

First, I open a photo that supports AdobeRGB.

 

Next, I'm changing it's color space on "Edit > Color Settings. 

 

When I choose AdobeRGB, it looks pretty good, and then, when I choose sRGB, it becomes worse. It's OK and normal, what I want.

 

 

Then, I want to save both of the photos to my computer for comparing them. But when I was saving "sRGB" one and clicking "Convert to sRGB", it becames same with AdobeRGB. So I remove the click from that option.

I only choose "embed color profile" when saving AdobeRGB and I click neither of them when saving sRGB.

"Renk profilini göm" means "Embedded color profile".    Photo  in the prefview is as same as AdobeRGB when I click convert to sRGB.

And this makes me think about my method. Are there any mistake? Did I save rightly? Should I click "Convert to sRGB" when saving sRGB one?

 

Thank you.

Well you DO want both to look the same once saved and reopened...

Do you have a 10-bit monitor and a gpu that supports 10-bit color?

What you need to learn is how to proof colors

Converting after the fact is just going to compress and clip the color space. There’s no simple way to compare because your edits were in aRGB.

 

Do you use a high end print service that actually uses aRGB? If not, stick with sRGB and edit in sRGB since that’s what 99.999% of all digital displays and web standards default to.

You don’t need a 10 bit display to work in aRGB. Bit depth and color space are very different things.

a 10-bit display will be capable of showing more of adobe rgb colors.

 

and in photoshop, if you know how to soft proof colors, it can show you the differencess between a image with srgb and adobe rgb color profiles.

What? That’s not how it works.

 

Adobe RGB is a color space, not a specific number of colors. aRGB and sRGB have the same amount of colors available in 10 bit. They have the same amount of colors as each other in 8 bit too. It scales, every color space scales with the bit depth.
 

So in conclusion, you can absolutely take advantage of aRGB’s wider space on an 8 bit display if you actually have a reason to do so over sRGB.
