What color space does Adobe's Cinema Display have?

I just calibrated my Macbook Pro with a Spyder3Elite and got a bit desapointed when I descovered that the best color space it can show is sRGB. After finding this, and since I've been thinking about buying an iMac for a while, I got a bit frightened. Thus, I changed my atention to Adobe's Cinema Display in hope that it has a larger color gamut.
The thing is I can't seam to find anyone that can tell me what color space does this displays can produce, iMac nor Cinema Display. If there's anyone who has already calibrated any of these displays, can you tell me what's the best color space they can work on?
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I'll try to be clearer to the best of my abilities.
1st off, There are 2 kinds of color spaces. Device-dependent and device-independent. Hence, a display has a limited color gamut that it can produce, it has it's own color space.
When I calibrated mine, this was the result:
Purple: Adobe RGB 1998
Green: sRGB
Red: Display's Gamut
The thing is, before I calibrated my monitor, I thought it had an Adobe RGB 1998. Got pretty desapointed when I found out it didn't... Nevertheless, what I'm looking is to know if there's any Apple display with a larger gamut than the one from my Mac or if they're all sRGB...
Hope to have been more clear this time.

What color space does Apple use: for its printing: sRGB, Adobe???

My images are coming back washed out, yet look great on screen. my camera is set to Adobe RGB, so i wonder if this is the problem... usually, consumer cameras are sRGB, I think.

Apple uses the sRGB color profile for it's prints, books, etc.

Is there a way in LR to tell what color space a photo is stored in?

I have a lot of 16 bit Tiff files in my Lightroom library. I am looking for an easy way to determine what color space has been assigned to them. The only way I know to find out is to open them in Photoshop. Does Lightroom have a way to tell me? That seems like a pretty basic capability for a high level photo software program like Lightroom, but I can't find it. Does the Tiff file still have the original RGB numbers that the RAW file had, or have they been changed to suite the color space used? If the original numbers are still there, then maybe the assigned color space does not matter, and I can change it if I want? I am Using Lightroom 5.5 on a windows 7 64 system.

In Lr5 - yes, well: sorta..
No display on right under Metadata, nor in lib filters, but smart collections have rule - see 'Color -> Source Color Profile'. Unfortunately, you need to know ahead of time what to look for, but still: it's better than nothing..
For example:
will round up all photos with Adobe RGB profile.
And you can have another with 'contains sRGB' ...

What color space as base in a brand guide?

What color space forms the base of a color brand guide? How do you start in terms of color spesifications? When I look at most guides it seems that Pantone is always the base, then CMYK, then RGB and Hex? Is RGB and Hex always gonna be a dithered version of the CMYK values or is it best practise to hand pick each one to make them look as close to the CMYK as possible? Is Pantone always mentioned first in the list because that's where the designer started?
Also, is best practise to mimmick the CMYK and Pantone colors so that the RGB and hex values look like them? Seems to me that most brand guides / visual manuals are made firstly for print, then they add the screen based color spaces.
In the enclosed example I also observe that the complete values are not always listed, in many cases the Y and K is missing in the CMYK values, does that mean it doesn't contain any black, or is it simply meaning zero? It rarerly occurs with the other color spaces.

For web, email and screen in general it should always be sRGB. Then you can be fairly certain that it will display correctly (more or less) in any scenario. sRGB wil also work for print (inkjet), it's just that many colors that can be printed are out of sRGB gamut, so it's a restriction that doesn't need to be there. sRGB is a small color space that can't reproduce very saturated colors - they're just clipped. So it's better to start with a larger space like Adobe RGB or even ProPhoto.
For editing purposes you want a large color space simply to have headroom and not hit the wall at every move. The final destination may well be a smaller space, like a printer profile. The software then converts to that destination profile as it goes to the printer. You can soft proof to the printer profile to get an impression of how the final result will look.
You can print directly from InDesign, but the typical InDesign workflow is to export a finished PDF. That is where you specify a final destination profile for the whole document, whether a certain CMYK profile for offset press, or an RGB profile for screen. So you have your master InDesign file, and output PDFs for each destination. The InDesign file can contain placed RGB images in any color space, while text and graphic elements are CMYK. Then everything is converted in one go at export.
You should always go through the PDF Export dialog carefully. Use the presets, but don't automatically accept defaults. For specific purposes, ask here or in the InDesign forum, where they deal with this all the time.
For screen, under "Output" use convert to destination, sRGB, include profile. Under "Compression", things aren't as obvious as they used to be (downsample to 96 or 100 ppi), because of the new retina displays that can benefit from a higher resolution. I hold my judgement on this one.

Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links to additional PDF docs? If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's?

Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links created with Acrobat Standard to additional PDF docs? If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's on an I Pad?

driddy61,
As of June 2014, none of the Adobe Reader mobile products support the hyperlink action for opening a separate PDF document.
Adobe Reader for iOS
Adobe Reader for Android
Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8
In addition, the Reader mobile products do not open multiple windows/documents simultaneously, which would make the navigation between PDF documents nearly impossible. (Once a hyperlink takes you to a different PDF document, you have no way to go back to the original PDF document.)
The only Adobe Reader product that fulfills your department's requirements is Adobe Reader XI (mostly for Windows/Mac desktop/laptop computers). Acrobat Pro and Standard are paid products.
Because you are in search of a less expensive device for your department, you could get a Windows tablet instead of a Windows desktop/laptop computer. Microsoft Surface Pro (that you've mentioned in your previous reply) is just one example. You can also find other less expensive Windows tablets.
Tablets
However, please keep in mind that there are two different types of Windows tablets running two different operating systems.
(a) A Windows tablet with an Intel-based processor running Windows 8.1 Pro
Example: Surface Pro 3
You can install and run traditional desktop apps (e.g. Adobe Reader XI) and new Windows Store apps ("Modern" or "Metro-style" apps).
(b) A Windows tablet with an ARM-based processor running Windows RT 8.1
Example: Surface 2
You can only install and run Windows Store apps (e.g. Adobe Reader Touch) but not traditional desktop apps like Adobe Reader XI.
In general, type (b) tablets are more affordable than type (a) tablets. However, if you want to run Adobe Reader XI, you do need to check the technical specification of each tablet and make sure the following conditions are met.
Processor: Intel
Operating system: Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 8/8.1 Pro, not RT
Hope this helps you choose the right device for your department. Please let us know if you have any questions about system requirements or supported features in the Adobe Reader products.

What color space are the Color Lookup presets meant for?

I've noticed that if I convert the same image to multiple color spaces and apply a 3D LUT with the new Color Lookup adjustment, the result is noticeably different. From experimenting, it seems that the lookup tables operate on whatever RGB value is given to them no matter what color space. Is there a certain color space these were optimized for? For instance, would a certain color space give me a more authentic 2-strip look than another because of the space they were sampled in? And if I create my own 3D LUTs, would I have to create a separate one for each color space in order to get a consistent look in all spaces?

So do you know what color space was used to create the presets that are there, such as 2-strip and 3-strip? Even though they don't know about color spaces, the different gammas on the input cause the look to come out different in all colorspaces, so it stands to reason that whatever color space the calculations and/or sampling was done in is closest to what was intended while the others are rough approximations. For things like "warming" it doesn't matter, but for ones that simulate actual films I'm curious to know, especially since the 2-strip ones looks a little different than when you just copy the green channel into the blue and green channels as described on all the websites.

What happened to the 30 inch Cinema display?

What happened to the 30 inch Cinema display?
I went into the Apple store to purchase one, all they had was the (too small) 27 inch with the ugly black border.
I did find a few used 30 inch Cinema displays on ebay, they are over $1100 USED.
Any suggestions, for a 30 inch display?

No suggestions, apart from changing to a non-Apple display such as a LaCie one.
I think Apple really makes a mistake with the new displays - they are nifty, granted, if you want to watch TV or the like, but they'll loose the professionals, working all day long with their displays.
1. the new displays have an excellent resolution, no trouble there, but they are like mirrors, reflecting lamps, etc. and very tiring for the eyes. That's already a problem with my MacBook Pro but I've got to accept it - what else is there to do - and fortunately it's only my secondary system.
2. we have gotten used to 30" and do not want to downgrade.
I am a translator and need to work with technical plants and several open files, so 30" really helped facilitate work. And now that's all gone as the 27" display definitely is not up to scratch for day-long work...
I ordered a 30" display right when it became available, so it's quite old now. I worry what I'll do when it breaks down ...

HT2486 birthday are not saving in my contacts? What am I doing wrong. I always have put in birthday before with no problems

Birthday are not saving in some of my contacts? What am I doing wrong. I always have put in birthday before with no problems. Some contacts it works and others do not? help me.

Arnis and Jeff,
Thank you both very much for your assistance. I was able to figure out why the Adobe Application Manager kept failing on installing the patches. Idiot me didn't unzip them first. Once I unzipped the patch files, the installer worked fine. Both patches are now successfully installed; my FM version is now 12.0.2..
To answer some of your questions:
Yes, I have administrator privileges on my PC.
Yes, I had all of the files in the book opened when I generated and/or updated the LOR file. So that was not the issue.
With the patches installed, I opened a book and all of its files. I updated the LOR and all works fine – it gives me all of the Imported Graphic references. So there must have been an issue with that release of FM12 (12.0.0.329), which was fixed with the patches.
Again, thank you both for your help!
Best regards,
Beverly

Does 23" Apple Cinema Display support sAdobe Color Profile?

i was told the 23" Apple Cinema display does not support sAdobe color profile, can anyone confirm if does or not, thank.

I take it back. NEC sell a monitor that acheives 107% of the Adobe Color Space.

What Color Space to choose for viewing jpegs on a monitor

After reading many webpages and watching many tutorial videos about which color space to use, I get odd results. I understand that sRGB is more for web applications, and that Adobe RGB 1998 has a wider gamut, and that ProPhoto has the widest gamut of colors, particularly helpful with printing.
However, in LR 4, when I export to jpeg as sRGB, Adobe RGB, and ProPhoto, the differences are very noticeable. sRGB looks the most vibrant, Adobe RGB looks flat, and ProPhoto looks dark with a greenish cast. I expected ProPhoto to look best, or is that only for printing, and I have to process differently?
What am I misunderstanding here? TIA.

It depends on three factors:
1. The monitor - normal, which means with a gamut close to sRGB, or "wide gamut" with a gamut that approaches Adobe RGB (and today there are plenty of medium priced "wide gamut" monitors).
2. The viewing application and whether it is color managed. In a nutshell, color management translates the image color numbers to eqivalent color numbers in the monitor's color space.
3. Whether the monitor is calibrated and profiled. In order for color management to work properly the application must know what the image's color space is (embedded profile) and what the monitor's space is (monitor profile). Any display on the monitor is always in the monitor space, but in order for the display to be accurate the translation must be made.
If all three conditions are fulfilled, alll images, no matter what their spaces are, will be displayed more or less the same because they have all been translated to the same display space. I say "more or less" because if the image is in a wide space that needs to be compressed to fit in the monitor space, there may be slight differences in the way colors that are out-of-gamut for the monitor are rendered, but the differences are slight.
Without those three factors, only images in the space closest to your monitor's native space will be properly displayed. So if you have a "normal" monitor, choose sRGB and if you have a "wide gamut" monitor, go with Adobe RGB, but keep in mind that other people with "normal" monitors and without color managed browsers/viewers will not see it properly.

Color Different on MBP and Cinema Display

I have a problem I am so far not able to resolve. I have a new 2008 MBP 17" with an Apple Cinema Display hooked up to it. The color on the MBP is nice and seems "right". The color on the Cinema Display is brighter - so much so that is not very good for using an application like Aperture, where a second monitor would be a great asset.
I have tried adjusting the calibration on both screens but can not get the two screens to match up even reasonably well. I now have the calibration set to "Color LCD" on the MBP and "Cinema HD" on the Cinema Display but the Cinema display is till unnaturally bright. Reds are WILD and skin tones are more "orangey" and "pink".
I am not a color calibration expert and am somewhat at a loss here.
Does anyone have any info on a solution to this somewhat annoying problem? Is there a piece of equipment out there that does a good job and is reasonably priced? My concern is that any photos I print do not come out shockingly bright.
Thanks in advance.

Don't let your eyes deceive you. While the MacBook Pro has one of the best laptop displays out there, no laptop display matches even the midrange desktop displays. An objective test will show that the Cinema Display absolutely blows away the MacBook Pro display after proper calibration. Read this article for tests and explanations about the MacBook Pro display in a professional context.
One of the key ideas is that it how "right" the color looks to us is not a reliable way of determining if the colors are actually accurate.
The color on the Cinema Display is brighter - so much so that is not very good for using an application like Aperture, where a second monitor would be a great asset.
One of the things you'll learn as you study color management is that most monitors have a maximum brightness that is far too high for calibrated work. For proper blacks and white, and especially if you hope to simulate paper well, when you run a hardware calibrator on your monitor you will usually be required to reduce brightness to somewhere in the lower quarter of its range.

Due to the very different capabilities of the two monitors, you'll find it difficult to impossible to get them consistent by eye. Partly because human eyes are adaptive and can't be sufficiently subjective. If you are serious about good color, your best bet is to invest in a good hardware calibrator (like the one in the linked article above) and let it calibrate both monitors to a known standard.

PSE 10 as external editor for Aperture 3 - 8-bit TIFF and what color space?

Hi all,
I'm taking the plunge and trying PSE 10 as my external editor for Aperture 3. I understand that I need to export as 8-bit TIFF files (not 16) because PSE can't do certain things with 16-bit files. Is that right? Should I specify a color space in Aperture or leave it as "no profile selected"? (I don't know much about color spaces; I'm not a pro.) I print on an Epson RX580 Stylus Photo printer, if that matters.
I'll be grateful for any help and advice. Thanks.

Can I suggest you buy Philip Andrews book, Advanced Photoshop Elements 10. he explains colour spaces and much much more very clearly and exactly what can be done with 16 bit files and what you then have to change to 8 bit to accomplish. He's written basic and advanced guides for Elements since day one. Usually available from Amazon for under £20.

What can I connect to the cinema display´s firewire port?

What do you think of connecting an external hard drive to the cinema display´s firewire port? My other firewire ports on my G5 are already occupied.

The FireWire ports on a Cinema Display can be used with anything that the FireWire ports on a Mac can be used for; they are included because a Mac and external monitor may be set up in a way that prevents the ports on the computer from being easily accessed.
