Generally I only shoot Jpegs so I never bothered to install Nikon
Capture. But if it's as good as you say, I'll give it a shot.

Someone from Galbraiths forums suggested I check my
colorsync settings. Which I did and nothing changed. It appears
the D1x is using the AdobeRGB(1998) color space but can't
communicate that to PS 7. So my question is...

When I tell PS 7 to convert a new image to my workspace profile
(AdobeRGB) does it really change anything? Assuming the
image is already (secretly) AdobeRGB.

I can't believe your comments about Nikon Capture. You must

have never used

it. The PS plugin from the Nikon View disk gives you absolutely

no control

over the RAW files.

There is no better option to process RAW files than Nikon

Capture 2. The

quality both color and sharpness easy exceeds 35mm slide

film.

Doyle-
Don't I lose data or something by converting all the time?
Aside from slowing everything down, I worry that would

degrade

my images. I'd rather not use Nikon capture but if it helps, I

might

have to.

Bob-
That sounds reasonable. But if my camera is actually
shooting in Adobe RGB(1998), why is sRGB coming up? Is it
just the default when that option is left blank?
Frankly, I think it's great that PS 7 is checking the EXIF info

for

color space. I just wish it was right.

When you set the camera for Adobe RGB I'm betting that it

doesn't embed the

profile in camera produced JPEGS, it just uses that space

for

output. It

makes little sense to waste precious camera processing

power and disk space

to write the same chunk of data (even a very small one) to

every

image...especially with a camera that prides itself on

shooting

speed. With

no real profile present, it sounds like PS7 is now honoring

the

EXIF data

where PS6 didn't. If a real profile were there, its my

understanding that

it takes precedence over the EXIF tag.
