How to set ‘sRGB’ as your colour space in Photoshop

These notes are supplied only as basic guidance to anyone who wishes to enter our competitions and may require some assistance. There are several different ways to do everything in photoshop, and several different image-editing programs to use too.

The Scottish Photographic Federation (SPF) recommend that images be converted to the sRGB colour space before being submitted to a DPI competition. If you are a beginner, your camera is likely to be creating images in the sRGB space anyway so you don’t need to worry about this. This guidance is aimed at experienced photographers who have converted their images to a different colour space for printing. Here is the guidance provided on the SPF “Competitions Guidance” web page:
