“This (Digital-Image Color Spaces) is a good article on the current state of support for specified color spaces in images in browsers. I’m going to be changing a few things around here because of it. First of all, I’m going to be using and specifying the sRGB color space in web sized images, since I think right now I’m at non-color managed and effectively non-specified. Second, I’m probably going to be specifying AdobeRGB for any in-camera jpegs, to capture the wider gamut without losing too much precision. ”

For photography, be sure to check what your printer does. See http://www.smugmug.com/help/srgb-versus-adobe-rgb-1998 for example. I use sRGB for everything because it not only works well when I post my pictures on the web, that’s also what my printing companies use to produce the best images on paper.
Actually I don’t worry about printing that much, I have a really bad printer
But since I’ve started working for http://www.digitalfusion.net/ my thinking on color and color space management has really been changed.
