Essentially, the sRGB is a "dumbed down" colour space designed for general use by consumers who don't give a rat's ass about colour management (the intended typical viewing environment for sRGB is an uncalibrated PC monitor).
Your camera can "capture" more colours than are available in sRGB. Unless post-processing is the norm for you, and depending on your editor and/or output device (printer/monitor), this smaller colour space may not affect you much.
If you really care about potential loss of colour quality resulting from using a small(er) colour space like sRGB, then adobe RGB might be the right choice for you. Consider it a working/editing colour space only. When you're done your editing, convert it to a the intended output device colour space. For publishing on the web, sRGB is not an entirely bad choice.
Unless you realize choosing adobe RGB will mean more work for you (and more control), stick with sRGB. |
