As Bill says, sRGb is what you want for color photographic paper. High quality photo inkjet printers can take advantage of the wider Adobe RGB color space. I don't know if any of the new 7 or 8-ink printers can take advantage of an even wider gamut but it's certainly possible. I *think* I read recently about a particular inkjet printer and inkset being designed specifically with the Adobe RGB colorspace in mind. If you shoot RAW your PEF or DNG files will always contain the widest gamut your camera is capable of seeing (it's device colorspace), so you can always convert to whatever smaller space you like later. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
