sRGB or Adobe RGB in GRII

[CHICHORNIO]

If I want to keep the best of my RAW files for future large prints, which color space should I use? My darkroom is equipped with a calibrated Dell 2210W LCD monitor, I process most of my pictures with Adobe Lightroom and I make my own A4 home made prints with HP Photosmart C5100 with 6 Vivera dye inks and Tetenal Satin Paper. Adobe RGB will be the best color space? Thanks

Hi chichornio !

I would say that if you want to get the most out of your photos for future printing , try to shoot always in Adobe RGB ( or Pro photo RGB if you have the option ) and them if you want to display them in screen convert the images to sRGB , I just found today this artcle talking about the issue http://www.petapixel.com/2009/09/17/why-you-should-probably-use-srgb/ , have a look at it !

Thanks Hikari, your link was very helpful. I own a GRII and when I take pictures in RAW (as I always do) I always think as they are like film negatives. You never know what it may happen to them in the future. Thanks again.
