I would like to submit again to this forum that the choice of RGB space for
the master file depends on the intended end use(s) of one's images.
Working spaces with a smaller gamut are fine for uses that do not include
more than printing SWOP or offset. AdobeRGB usually covers the task fairly
well, except for a sliver of cyans in Coated FOGRA 39 and a few other
standard CMYK sheetfed output spaces.
Yet, in my experience, larger RGB spaces don't hurt the results in ways that
I have experienced as unacceptable -- though it's true that they are not
*necessary* for those more circumscribed uses.
But I certainly see wide-gamut RGB spaces as far more advisable for uses
that include the output of fine art on good inkjet printers, with their
rapidly expanding gamut, or for those among us who wish to keep improving
the quality of their work along with the advancing output technologies.
