SMPTE-C would be an ideal editing color space within Photoshop. Most video,
especially digital, cameras conform to the SMPTE-C recommendation AND NOT
NTSC. sRGB isn't a bad suggestion as the gamma and white point are the
target values although the phosphor coordinates are slightly different
(color volume).
