I was curious about the difference in prints using sRGB vs Adobe RGB? I have always shot in sRGB but was wondering if I am missing something by not using Adobe RGB.

You can always change color space and re-process.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.
I used to hate math but then I realised decimals have a point.

True if you shoot with raw.

Take a look here for what may be helpful info:

As mentioned in the article, if you're using someplace like Walmart or Costco, or even most online printing outfits, they assume sRGB as the color space for prints so you won't normally gain anything using Adobe RGB. If printing at home using Photoshop, I usually convert to Adobe RGB when printing (note that I'm always starting with RAW and use the Prophoto RGB working space for editing); if printing using Windows Picture Viewer, sRGB is the way to go.


Some Canon stuff and a little bit of Yongnuo.
