I’m not a professional artist, but in general, it depends on what you target.
Web content usually still assumes sRGB as the least common denominator to my knowledge.
But “Display P3” (commonly mistakenly called DCI-P3) slowly gets more common, probably mostly driven by Apple’s choice to use that for most new devices, so there’s an increasing chance people will actually be able to view web conent with that larger gamut, but it’ll stay a minority for quite a while.
Printing often deals with profiles that have a larger range of cyan/green/yellow tones than sRGB, that’s what AdobeRGB was designed for.
Then there’s HDR content for blu ray/streaming that gets encoded with Rec.2020/2100, and the latest and greatest TVs easily exceed DCI-P3 gamut, although full Rec.2020 coverage is still something only a hand full of displays come close to, AFAIK.
Well you sure sent me down a rabbit hole and googling and research haha … thanks for that, I’ve learnt a whole lot more about gamut.
I’m just wondering with regards to Krita’s “wide gamut” … I wonder what gamut range that exactly relates to … DCI-P3 or Adobe RGB or Rec.2020 …?
Also as a matter of interest, apparently from what I read, DCI-P3 and Display P3 are pretty much the same, except they differ slightly in gamma, the latter making the range more friendly towards sRGB monitors etc … from what I understood.
I don’t know all the answers but XYZ is like a universal colour system. It literally contains all colour models inside it and it is the big system to so conversions. Inside there are like 15 RGBs inside it and Adobe RGB is one that is bigger the standard sRGB.
Rec2020 is like and agreement of TV manufacturers done in 2020 that gave the specs for the new monitors that must be coming out now. This document says what is the standard of light and colours and how is the mix to be done.
Yeah I’ve learnt a lot of that in last few hours … but what I’d like to know now is what “wide gamut” Krita uses … I doubt its the FULL spectrum/range … could it be?
