Monster monster, I scan and work in Adobe RGB due to the way I expose film.

Yep, and my digicam works in sRGB and stays in sRGB.

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.
