[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 7599, member: 654"] What these sRGB Vs. Adobe RGB articles, Including Ken Rockwell, are talking about is the transmission of digital photographs over the internet to labs other computers and for posting on web sites. In that case and as I previously stated you should use sRGB. They also admit that Adobe RGB is best is best to use for printing. These people are internet users and do little or no printing. Is adobe RGB difficult to use for printing? As with many questions in photography the answer is it depends. If all I need is a bunch of 4x6 prints for friends I can turn them out just by hitting a few buttons and get good results. But if I need a 8x12 print for a contest it will take time to make the color corrections to just what I want. This is no different than doing post processing on shots from the camera. Adobe RGB by far gives the best color printing results. As has been stated in this thread you want to start out with the best quality possible and that is Adobe RGB and shot in RAW.
