ProPhoto RGB color space

Okay kiddo! So when you look at something on a screen, like a picture or a video, the colors you see are made up of lots of tiny dots called pixels. These pixels can be different colors, like red, green, and blue.

But did you know that not all colors can be shown on a screen? Some colors, like really bright yellows and pinks, just can't be displayed properly. That's where prophoto RGB color space comes in!

Prophoto RGB is a special way of showing colors on a screen. It's like a special rainbow that has more colors than a regular rainbow! This means you can see even more colors in pictures and videos that use prophoto RGB.

It's kind of like having a bigger box of crayons to draw with - you can make more colors and make your pictures look even more beautiful! But not all screens and devices can show prophoto RGB, so it's mostly used by professional photographers and videographers who want to make sure their work looks as amazing as possible.
