What problem? The actual ‘problem’ was Adobe RGB (1998) was a mistake in the making. It was supposed to be SMPTE 240M, and it wasn’t as one or maybe two chromaticity values published on the web and used were wrong. So Adobe can't call it SMPTE 240M; it works pretty much as Mr. Knoll wished; Adobe had to change the name. IMHO, the real problem with Adobe RGB (1998) is the color gamut is too small for my needs.
