• Standard RGB profiles supplied in ViewNX-i

Standard RGB profiles supplied in ViewNX-i

Profiles with a Gamma Value of 1.8

Apple RGB: NKApple.icm (Windows)/Nikon Apple RGB 4.0.0 (Mac OS)

This profile is used in desk-top publishing applications and in Adobe Photoshop versions 4.0 or earlier, and is the typical RGB profile for Mac OS monitors. The corresponding RGB setting in Adobe Photoshop is "Apple RGB". This profile is suitable for working with images displayed on the Mac OS.

ColorMatch RGB: MKCMatch.icm (Windows)/Nikon ColorMatch RGB 4.0.0 (Mac OS)

The ColorMatch profile is native to Radius PressView monitors. It has a wider gamut than Apple RGB, with a particularly wide area devoted to the reproduction of blues. The corresponding RGB setting in Adobe Photoshop is "Color Match RGB".

Profiles with a gamma value of 2.2

sRGB: NKsRGB.icm (Windows)/Nikon sRGB 4.0.0 (Mac OS)

This RGB profile is used in the majority of Windows monitors. It closely resembles the RGB commonly used in color television, and is also used in the digital television broadcasting system that is on its way to becoming the industry standard in the United States of America. Software and hardware manufacturers use it as a default color profile and guarantee operation when it is used. It is also on its way to becoming the standard for images on the web. This profile is suited to users who plan to use their digital images "as is," without editing or printing them. It however suffers from the drawback of a narrow gamut with a limited area available for reproducing blues. The corresponding RGB setting in Adobe Photoshop 5.0 and 5.5 is "sRGB," the corresponding setting in Adobe Photoshop 6.0 "sRGB IWC61966-2.1".

Bruce RGB: NKBruce.icm (Windows)/Nikon Bruce RGB 4.0.0 (Mac OS)

This color profile attempts to expand on the ColorMatch RGB gamut by defining the chromaticity for G as lying between the values for G in the Adobe RGB and ColorMatch color-space profiles. It was proposed by Bruce Fraser, who claims that it includes most of the colors in the SWOP CMYK gamut. The R and B used in the Bruce RGB and Adobe RGB color-space profiles match.

NTSC (1953): NKNTSC.icm (Windows)/Nikon NTSC (1953) 4.0.0 (Mac OS)

This is the color space for video defined by the National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) in 1953 and used in early color televisions. This color space is also used in some Far-East newspaper and printing organizations. The corresponding RGB setting in Adobe Photoshop is "NTSC (1953)".

Adobe RGB (1998): NKAdobe.icm (Windows)/Nikon Adobe RGB (1998) 4.0.0 (Mac OS)

A color-space profile defined in Adobe Photoshop 5.0. It has a wider gamut than sRGB and includes the colors found in most CMYK gamuts, making it suitable for users involved in desktop publishing. The corresponding RGB setting in Adobe Photoshop 5.0 is "SMPTE-240M," the corresponding setting in Adobe Photoshop 5.5 or later "Adobe RGB (1998)".

CIE RGB: NKCIE.icm (Windows)/Nikon CIE RGB 4.0.0 (Mac OS)

A video color-space profile established by the Commission Internationale de l'Éclairage (CIE). While it boasts a fairly wide gamut, it suffers from the drawback that the area devoted to the reproduction of cyan is relatively small. The corresponding RGB setting in Adobe Photoshop is "CIE RGB".

Adobe Wide RGB: NKWide.icm (Windows)/Nikon Adobe Wide RGB 4.0.0 (Mac OS)

This color-space profile, designed by Adobe, incorporates most of the visible colors. This however has the consequence that most of the colors it can express can not be reproduced on standard monitors and printers. The corresponding RGB setting in Adobe Photoshop 5.0 or later is "Adobe Wide RGB". The gamut of colors that can be expressed in the above color-space profiles is shown in the following chromaticity (x, y) graph. The greater the area enclosed by the triangle that represents the color-space profile, the wider its gamut. Page top
