So I just shot a gig with my new 40D (I'm definitely diggin' it) and I guess I had the color mode set to sRGB instead of Adobe RGB. I have no idea of the difference between the two, but when I tried to upload the RAW files to Lightroom it said it was an unsupported color mode. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

Have you updated to version 1.2? I got the same problem with 1.1 but the update fixed it

Unless you have a specific reason to use Adobe RGB, you should be using sRGB: that is my understanding, anyway.

Use the colour space that your preferred output device supports. Usually that's going to be sRGB. Some printers have Adobe RGB support; the web wants sRGB.
