AdobeRGB / ProRGB

IYW

I recently switched from AdobeRGB to ProRGB. While I did see a noticeable improvement on screen and printouts, images converted from RAW to JPEG (maximum size) now look dull when uploaded to SmugMug. However, they still look fine on screen. Any advice on what colorspace to use for SmugMug?

sRGB is recommended. See help page at http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/93362.

IYW, Denise is correct, you want to convert your photos to sRGB before uploading them to SmugMug. If you are using Lightroom or Adobe Camera RAW for your RAW workflow, you can convert the images using the "Export" button. You can also use the "Soft Proofing" checkbox in Lightroom to see what colors will be out of gamut before you export your images. The "Soft Proofing" checkbox is on the toolbar when you are in the Develop module.

I'm not familiar with other RAW programs, but I'm fairly certain they all have the ability to convert your RAW images to an sRGB color space when converting to JPEG.
