could easily be contained and represented inside of a ProPhoto gamut.
What percentage of colour corrections and adjustments automatically
*benefit* from being in a larger colour space?
And what percentage of the small amount that *just might* would
benefit from choosing ProPhoto when the original was 8 bit sRGB?
If you are talking about shots where the models end up with faces the
colour of radiation burns and have those tell-tale deep red contours
as the skin darkens towards a shadow then you are probably right.
But they probably started life as natural looking sRGB images before
being converted to AdobeRGB (or larger) and adjusted by people who
didn't know what they were doing and couldn't see the damage they were
causing on their sub-standard monitors.
Invariably they are same people who also don't realise that they can't
then convert to smaller RGB working spaces without making the damage
they've done look even worse than it did in their wide gamut space...
