Color space in Capture One ?

svc
Hello,

Because Nikon Capture 4 became too slow with the RAW files from my D200 and Capture NX is delayed, I downloaded a trial version of Capture One 3.7.4, which works really fast and so far delivers good results. However, I have a question about the indication of “Color Space†when you move your mouse over the small thumbnail. A yellow window appears where I notice “Color Space: sRGB†while the pictures are captured with Adobe RGB. Nikon Capture 4 does indicate this correctly. What went wrong in C1? Or did I do something wrong?

Camera profile is D200 generic. My color management settings are: Output destination Adobe RGB, Web destination sRGB, Proof destination Adobe RGB.

Thanks!

    In the meantime I encountered the problem:

    When you open the original RAW image in Nikon Capture without saving there is no Color Space indicated in Capture One. When you open and save the original RAW image in Nikon Capture the sRGB Color Space is indicated in Capture One. I thought I had some wrong preferences set in Nikon Capture but they are also set correctly so they preserve the embedded profile in the RAW image (in my case Adobe RGB).

    svc,

    This Color Space is not affiliated in a RAW file.
    You choose the color space upon processing.

    The information you see is the meta data indicating you in-camera setting for in-camera processed files... capturing JPEG.

    Cheers,
