Re: AdobeRGB(1998) working space/monitor

If I understand your question correctly ie printing from a sRGB image and aRGB image would there be a difference? then the answer is yes.

I have in one of the magazines that I was working on got an sRGB image which I converted to Fogra 27L (cmyk color space) and proofed the image the proofing clearly showed the image as dull and kind of life less for the second step just to see the difference I assigned aRGB profile (the difference was huge) and converted to Fogra 27L color space I proofed the image again to verify the results, there was a huge difference between both the results aRGB looked a lot better.

I viewed the image on a wide gamut Quato monitor, the advantage I feel was that I got a very good match between my monitor and my print (basically I was seeing aRGB representation of color in Fogra 27L color space, theoretically the color of color does not change when the colorspaces are changed correctly), I feel that the monitor did make a few decision making points kind of simpler for me (atleast).

What I presume is that sRGB being a smaller color space is unable to give that extra saturation that aRGB was able to deliver. If you are interested I will try and find the data and send the proofed sample along with the image.
