This seems to be an age-old issue, almost religious to some folks. As
another poster noted, if you just shoot RAW, you can re-assign color spaces,
depending on the use you put the image to. There are all sorts of free RAW
processors out on the web, just look around. If Photoshop is too expensive
for now, check out PaintShop Pro (lower cost) or GIMP (free).

Here's a good, simple article that talks about Adobe RBG vs. sRGB:

Good luck and happy shooting...

Hi all,

So I'm taking a photography course with one of our local photographersa
and as part of the course, we covered in camera color profiles. His
recommendation was to set the camera to Adobe RGB as opposed to sRGB.
He said it is more of an industry standard, or something like that, a
more true color rendition because it has more actual colors available
to it.

Then on Saturday, DBf attends a photography workshop at the local
camera store, and they recommend the exact opposite, to keep the
camera in sRGB instead of adobe RGB.

So now I'm confused about what it should be, s or adobe RGB. Is one
really better than the other?

FWIW, I took pretty much the same shot with both settings, and the
adobe seemed to be more saturated, the other looked a little washed
out.

Thanks
Heather
