Adobe RGB or sRGB?

[Hailaz]

Which do you use? My 350D shoots in sRGB but I've been changing that to Adobe RGB because I read somewhere that that is standard for print. Then last night I was reading another book that recommends sRGB. Hrmmm, lol, now I'm confused.

Hello btw, I'm new here :-)

I shoot in Adobe RGB and convert any images I'll be posting on the web to sRGB.

Do searches on here, this has been discussed way too many times to count.

Thanks xMetal :-)

Sorry Hella, I've been searching for other info for a few weeks now, this one slipped pass the net.

Oh well I figure that I'm using CS2 that I should use Adobe RGB it just makes sense. I hope I'm right. lol

I'm just reading Scott Kelby's book on CS2. He says -- not a quote -- If you shoot RAW or RAW + Jpeg, shoot your 350D in RGB. If RAW only, it doesn't matter, you can assign it in Photoshop's -- and I would guess others as well -- RAW conversion dialog.

For web publishing, you'll probably want to end up in sRGB, for printing RGB -- or for really professional printing CMYK. Good advice here might be if you're using an outside printer, consult with him as to what space he requires and be sure to let the outside printer know what space you're delivering. I'm not sure what is embedded and what isn't.

I gather from all this that if your editing program allows you to make the choice, you would shoot in RGB and if your program doesn't permit the choice, the safe space might be sRGB.

Ive recently started shooting in Adobe RGB, to answer your question, but it was more out of curiosity in how my photos would show :)

Thank you everyone for your replies, they are most useful. I definately need to get organised now rather than later regarding this matter.
