I don't want to be pedantic but what you wrote originally made it
sound like you'd missing out if you didn't convert sRGB to ProPhoto if
you need to edit an image:
I don't believe that after an image is converted to sRGB it is
pointless to
move it into ProPhoto RGB. Of course if nothing more will be done to
the
image, then yes, it is pointless. But if further color correction and
editing will be done, it will benefit the image by being in a larger
color
space.
The problem with this sort of statement is that it is interpreted by
people as if getting anything less than 16-bit ProPhoto and they're
gonna be missing out on something.
Like if I choose to send a client an image in sRGB then I've charged
them 100% but kept 79.4% of the gamut back from them -- and could even
be using it myself on another project :)
Who knows, in a couple of years when HewMicroDobeSoft release the
ReallyDreamyColor display and printer series that same client could
open the image I sold them and what'll happen then?
No doubt it'll be mostly gray or brown or something -- apart from some
tiny patches of accurately reproduced sRGB pixels dotted around the
screen and print.
All because I ripped them off with that tiny working space...
