2) I do all my RGB workflow in Adobe RGB and that is also what I archive in.
3) The VERY LAST THING I do before sending my files to an outside lab is to
convert the file to sRGB as that space seems to be what most labs use. After
converting, you can see exactly what your image should print like (assuming
the lab has their act together with quality control) and working with
Photoshop 6.0. If the file needs any last minute minor changes after
converting, do it now. Although I find that if I like my file before
converting, it usually doesn't need any change after converting.

I would think photographic emulsions "see" so much color -
the LAST thing you would dream of doing would be
putting them through sRGB.
Even for archival files - I would use something
able to contain more information than AdobeRGB.
Isn't it true that the ektachrome emulsion records
more info than almost any of the working spaces available?
I use DonRGB4 for archiving but have read lately that
he has altered this space somewhat to a new one - Best RGB.
Would all you fellows look for a new lab - if your current lab
insisted in printing in sRGB?
