Color Modes

I currently shoot everything in adobeRGB, setting two in the camera.

I dont really seem to notice a diffrence between each mode. I only shoot in that mode because the manual says that the mode is good for when your editing photo's, and when they are not going directly to print.

Later tonight i am going to post two shots, one in sRGB and ADOBE RGB. The setting is at night with the yellow cast lights found near buildings. Everytime i shot with the srgb the picture was super RED like i was in hell or something. Then i shot with Adobe and the colors were actually normal.... well give me 6 more tills when it turns dark.

AdobeRGB has a wider color gaumet than either of the other two modes. SRGBII is supposedly better for scenic shots as the color green is enhanced. Most printers use SRGB as their primary color space so their is less conversions necessary. Epson's 2000P, 2100/2200 and probably some others use Adobe RGB as their natural color space. IMHO the fewer conversions you perform towards the final printer output the less you will encounter color cast issues with the final product.
