Yep, and my digicam works in sRGB and stays in sRGB. > Unless you really need Adobe RGB, then stay in sRGB, to do otherwise is more > than somewhat ill advised. Adobe RGB is not better than sRGB, it's different. I have tried coverting one to the other, and it never looks right. Pixels mash up something badstyle with further editing. Besides sRGB is a really nice space that converts to CMYK without much effort, nice for all skintones and gives funky colour. Most folks want funky colour. > sRGB aint that bad, you don't need a bucket to hold a pint of beer. ....meaning you can get a quart out of a pint pot.
