My JPEG & RAWS have the same colour but when i convert the RAWs to TIFFS the colours are slightly different?
-
My Camera can take photos in both JPEGS & RAWS. I'm new to the RAW format but thought it would be good to start shooting in RAW as well as JPEGS at the same time. I have a photo editor that can edit 48 bit TIFFS and so i had the idea of converting my RAW files into 48 bit TIFFS to use in my editor. When i view my JPEGS and RAWS in Faststone image viewer they display identically. However when i convert the RAWS to TIFFS and then compare the JPEGS, RAWS & TIFFS together the TIFFS always have slightly different colours, i.e. the shades are normally slightly richer and darker on some of the colours. I have tried using 3 different converters (Silkypix, Photoshop and Lightroom) and it happens with them all. The colourspace is always sRGB for all the formats. Any ideas why this would happen?

Answer:
The sRGB colour space is used when the image is intended for use on a website or is being printed at a photo lab. AdobeRGB colour space is used when the image file is destined to be published in a magazine or other piece printed using an offset press or you are printing a photographic print using an inkjet printer Is there a difference in colour between a RAW file when saved as a JPEG and compared to the same image saved as a TIFF? My guess is that when you are processing your RAW files, something in the presets is causing a slight colour shift. When was the last time that you calibrated and profiled your computer monitor? If you intend to make any changes in contrast or colour, you need to make sure that your monitor is true in its colour and contrast.

First, change your color space to Adobe 98, it's a much bigger space. Every converter is going to give you slightly different results. Worry about getting the colours that you like rather than matching your jog files. In Adobe 98 you will notice that you have quite a lot more saturation. JPG files are compressed and are different though the colors should not be too different.
