Would you expand on the rationale of your suggestion to convert to sRGB colour space before conversion to jpg? My understanding is that VERY few monitors can use the full Adobe RGB space or better. I only know of one professional Eizo model, in fact. Maybe there are others but most won't, certainly. So it's reasonable to assume that Bradley's will be at best sRGB. Again assuming that Bradley and other viewers have calibrated their monitors, won't the DISPLAYED image (ignoring printing here) before and after conversion to sRGB look the same? I'm assuming that the file is then saved as jpg. Saving as gif, which we touched on in another thread certainly can give a "desaturated" effect with the reduced palette. I (thought!) I had a reasonable handle on matters colour space and bit depth and it's important, of course. So I'd really value any further light you can shed on this. Maybe I need to have a quiet lie down, followed by a big Google. Regards, Hoppy Down-under colour management apprentice.

Be sure you actually convert and don't just assign the profile. Tina Tina Manley, ASMP, NPPA http://www.tinamanley.com ------------------------------
