You don't have to however if the image is mapped to Adobe RGB colour space and you open it as if it were sRGB mapping the colours will be slightly desaturated and slightly the wrong hues and the image will lack contrast. > What do you think?

If you only intend them to be displayed on the web and not printed then sRGB is probably fine. Adobe RGB will allow a wider range of colours to be displayed when the image is output on a suitably capable printer. Many of the Epson ink-jet printers won't deliver their full colour range when fed an sRGB image. Various colour spaces (including sRGB and Adobe RGB) and device profiles can be compared graphically using the following utility. I hope this helps. http://www.iccview.de/index_eng.htm Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
