Adobe RGB vs sRGB

If I am shooting in Adobe RGB, should I convert the file to sRGB for posting to Flickr, etc.?

Yes, You should.

Agree with robgr85

And I would ask why you are shooting in Adobe RGB if the web is a destination for your files? When asked about this question I often answer that, unless you have a reason for shooting in Adobe, you should use sRGB, or shoot Raw and decide the whole issue later.

Adobe RGB is a wider color gamut than sRGB...shooting in RGB will capture more color information than if shooting in sRGB. You can't add color data later to an image if it first doesn't exist (as in shooting sRGB). Best to shoot in RGB and convert in post to sRGB for uploading to the web.

+1.

OK, I think I've got it.

I have been shooting in RAW + .jpg (Adobe RGB)

So, if I'm shooting in RAW, it does not matter much which color space I shoot in so long as I convert to sRGB for web posting. Do I have that right?

Thanks for all of the input..........

Subscribing... would like to know this too....

If you shoot Raw only it does not matter what the camera is set at, only when shooting Jpegs dose the camera need setting to sRGB or Adobe RGB.

Asumeing your using photoshop then in your preference settings you should set your working ICC profile to the profile you wish to work in/with, ( if all web stuff then set to sRGB) hope this helps..
