What RGB working space do you tag to the positive scan once it comes
out of the scanner software?
Depends on the image.
The sample on the site is sRGB.
If I wanted to use a big space then I might go for DonRGB. The
important thing is appreciating how easy it is to screw the image up
by making moves that you either can't see on the monitor or don't give
you the numbers you want because the gamut isn't a nice, easy to
understand (or remember), shape.
I don't use AdobeRGB (it's banished from in-house workflows) because
it is too easy to get the reds wrong and it can't do anything useful
with blues without clipping.
