sRGB vs. Adobe RGB

[iND]

My reality is that sRGB represents real world colors and the technical aspects of Adobe RGB are more theoretical and technically difficult than sRGB.

Discussion?

Thank you

AdobeRGB has a wider gamut than sRGB (ProPhoto RGB is even wider). A wider gamut means more color representation. That's only relevant if your output can use the wider gamut. Most monitors are sRGB. Some print labs are sRGB, some are AdobeRGB - if you print, find out which the lab uses and use that one. Professional printing (offset, e.g., magazines, books) want CMYK not RGB, so something like TrueMatch RGB is a better choice for a 'working' (preoutput) color space.

Shoot RAW, which is color space agnostic, and you can pick the one you need later and proof your colors to your output.

Thank you

Can you explain specifically in the CS photoshop work flow when I work with RAW that I choose sRGB, AdobeRGB, CMYK, or other?
