Crap, there you go again (why do I bite...)
Adobe made this a “standard” how? Name the standards body.
And yes, if you are working in a Raw workflow, encoding into a color
space smaller than ProPhoto (certainly Adobe RGB (1998)) will in many,
many cases, depending on capture device and scene gamut, clip colors
you can reproduce. On a press? No. So use the ProPhoto, 16-bit master
and convert to a smaller color space for those needs. And Martin, its
Raw, not RAW (its not a bloody acronym).
There’s no perfect RGB working space or we’d have just one. But going
from Raw rendering to something like Adobe RGB (1998) versus ProPhoto
will clip colors you can reproduce on a lot of desktop ink jet
printers. To many photographers, losing that is akin to destroying
valuable data.
