I prefer to edit in the widest gamut available, then convert at the end.
Just like shooting RAW, then converting as a last step (prior to printing / uploading, etc.) My work is bad enough without me throwing away additional data. Even if I can't use it to perfection now, at least it's there if needed... YMMV

I've been reading about this and trying it out. The colors are different when I switch from prophoto (or adobe rgb) to srgb. I also have to have proof colors off in prophoto or it looks way off.
Based on what I've read, I'm thinking that if you are just posting to web that srgb is fine. If you want a print, then go with adobe rgb. What if you want both - two edits to get the same color? |

To be honest, most of the time I find an sRGB color space through out the entire workflow is good enough, especially since I'm gonna end up there anyway.
I will switch to ProPhoto (the widest gamut) if I'm going to be doing a lot of heavy editing that could cause sRGB to clip.

Do you get a color shift when you switch from prophoto to sRGB? I'm thinking I have something setup wrong in CS3 because when I'm in prophoto with proof colors off it is the closest to sRGB with proof colors on. But the color is too different to edit for a print and then just do a quick conversion to sRGB to web.
My reason for even considering prophoto or adobe RGB is a print I am working on to send to Canvasondemand and would rather keep it in a bigger color space. |
