I'm wondering about the colourspace in my 10D. Should I leave it on standard or set it to Adobe, since most of my processing is anyway in PS? I shoot in RAW, does that make a difference as opposed to JPEG?
(I do the conversions in C1)

You should leave it on standard if you are using mostly RGB. If you are using your work for print ads that will be transformed into CMYK, then use Adobe. :)

Ok. Thanks.

If you're shooting RAW it doesn't matter what the camera is set to if you can select the colourspace in the RAW conversion software.

OK
I wasn't sure if the camera did do something to the colourspace in RAW mode
Thanks

I was looking into this recently and found the usual answer of use sRGB unless getting it professionally printed etc.

However, I then found a couple of articles saying that if you have one of the high end new home printers, like the Epson R800, 2100 (or is it 2200 I forget) and there may heva been some of the Canon models, then use Adobe RGB as these printers can make use of the increased colour gamet.

Interesting. I have Epson 950 (and 1290 on loan at the moment). Do you remember if those can also use the colour gamet? Since these are old models, probably not :(
Do you remeber where you found these articles? Link, pretty please :)

Can't help much with the 950 sorry, I have no idea.

Come to think of it I can't help all that much with the other question *laugh* Basically I went googling for "R800" and "Adobe RGB" and started reading.

My initial searches on just the "Adobe RGB" kept telling me to only bother with sRGB unless planning to get things printed professionally. Then I started looking into the R800 in particular and found the oposite being said ... but not in every case. If I do stumble across any of the links again I'll post them.

It's probably a grey area, but I decided to go Adobe RGN just in case, and don't see any harm in doing so at least. Personally, I doubt my eyes could ever spot the difference.
