[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 620678, member: 13090"] If you shoot raw it doesn't matter what color profile you choose in camera since raw files don't have color until they are assigned a color-profile during processing. Once I have a raw file open, I do all my processing in Adobe RGB. I use Adobe RGB because it has a significantly wider color gamut than sRGB. However, using Adobe RGB means I need to convert the final product from Adobe RGB to sRGB for printing or viewing on the web. It's only a couple of mouse clicks so I don't mind and I like using the wider gamut the Adobe RGB offers. Some labs can work with Adobe RGB and some photo-viewing software will respect embedded profiles, including Adobe RGB, but I find life is just easier when I convert to sRGB when saving images to .JPG for those purposes. My full-size, archived .TiFF files use Adobe RGB. Again because I can always reassign them to the smaller sRGB gamut when, and if, that's required. This brings up another thing to keep in mind... That you can move from a [I]wider[/I] gamut to [I]narrower[/I] gamut (e.g. from Adobe RGB to sRGB), but never can you do the reverse. Meaning you can't go from the narrower sRGB color gamut back to the wider Adobe RGB color gamut. For most people, these things probably don't matter, but I like squeezing as much performance out of my gear as I can and I have seen first-hand some very definite, practical differences to working with the different color gamuts. Based on that experience I process my raw files in Adobe RGB. I should actually probably be opening my raw files in ProPhoto RGB since it has the largest gamut on any color profile I'm aware of, but I haven't gotten around to that yet.
