It also just proves that negativity propagates at least 10 times more effectively than positivity!
Have a great day! :rolleyes:

Amen to that!
The future does look tough following a night of the long knives and the falling on swords at Pentax board level.
Pentax calls off Hoya share-swap merger plan | Reuters
Any Pentaxanian billionaires out there with a sensible plan and some petty cash lying around, or do we form a consortium? :lol:

Hi Ben
Setting the camera to Adobe RGB only affects the "in-camera" JPEG's. If you shoot in Raw, it has no colour space, so setting the camera to Adobe RGB will have no effect. Colour space takes effect when converting to another storage format (JPEG, TIFF etc.,).
You can choose what colour space you wan't to work in at the Raw conversion stage. Abobe RGB has more space than sRGB, and ProPhoto has more again. Also using 16 bit gives more colour "tones" as well and prevents posturisation when doing extensive PP work.
Provided you continue to work within a "colour managed" environment, you should retain colour fidelity and integrity, up to and including the print stage. As soon as you step outside of that controlled "colour managed" environment, all bets are off!
If you display on the web it is essential that you convert the image to sRGB and 8 bit to ensure a display to anything approaching the correct colours (depending on the users monitor calibration). The same usually applies to commercial (consumer) photo printing labs. Outputting anything other than sRGB to the web or general print houses will "guarantee" an incorrect colour balance.
Sorry if I'm teaching Granny to suck eggs here! I felt it needed clarification. :)

I strongly endorse Steve's comments. Enough said on the subject!
Let's move on.
