Profile Windows

Description  
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 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 suf-  
fers 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.”

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 pro-  
fi le s . 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.  
This is the color space for video defined by the National Tele-  
vision 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).”
