Hi Katoton,
maybe this explanation from wikipedia.org is helpful.
=========
RGB is a convenient color model for computer graphics because the human visual system works in a way that is similar - though not quite identical - to an RGB color space. The most commonly used RGB color spaces are sRGB and Adobe RGB, which has a significantly larger gamut than sRGB. Adobe has recently developed another color space called Adobe Wide Gamut RGB, which is even larger, in detriment of gamut density.
As of 2004, sRGB is by far the most commonly used RGB color space, particularly in consumer grade digital cameras, because it is considered adequate for most consumer applications, and its design simplifies previewing on the typical computer display.

For posting on the web, sRGB is the best because it matches the color capabilities of the web and most monitors. |

I use Adobe RGB. I've heard it's the best profile, but then Adobe claim this. I trust them though. |

Adobe RGB is a WIDER color space than sRGB. However, the outer edges of both color spaces are exactly the same. Which you should use depends solely on your output device. If you process a picture in Adobe RGB but output it to the web or a printer configured to sRGB, your colors may look a little washed out. |

But some stock photography sites require photos taken using Adobe RGB 1998. So here's my question. Does everyone here mostly use SRGB or RGB? |

I used to use sRGB but have been recently saving in RGB - it seems that RGB is more widely accepted and is especially liked by printers (from what I have read). I've noticed that most of my downloads are print sized downloads so I'm trying to make things easier for them.
Though honestly, I'm not really sure if it makes a difference. |

I find that it is always better to do your photo editing at the highest gamut possible. . in my case I use ProPhoto RGB in Photoshop. After I'm done with all my color editing and manipulations I then convert its profile to SRGb and save it (for use on stock sites) as a 8bit jpeg file. I keep an unsharpened copy of the full gamut image saved as a master .PSD file in Photoshop. Some stock sites ask for Adobe RGb. If you have a master file onhand you can simply open it, convert the profile to Adobe RGB and save it similarly as above. Be flexible with your files and be prepared to have a master that can be printed on your own devices, or can be converted to profiles requested by various sites you do business with. |

I would say sRGB would be the best to work with since its mainly intended for use on the internet that and i have heard that some monitors display RGB images looking desaturated , plus the colour range between the two are just visibly less , not enough to really affect the image in a dramtic way. |

Adobe RGB (1998) is the larger gamut, by far. sRGB is even smaller than CMYK.
The point to working in sRGB would be to ensure you aren't using colors out of gamut for people displaying on the web and such.
As far as stock photography, these photos are being downloaded for various uses, both print and web. Some may even require some correction before use.
So from the point of view of a designer who gets the file, we will want the source file to be in the larger gamut. If it will be used in web design, it is the designer's prerogative reduce the gamut to sRGB to work with, in order to give output which won't be altered or seen different on various browsers.
As a designer, I want my source photographs to be in Adobe RGB (1998). I can then convert to CMYK if I'm designing a file that will go onto an off-set press, or I can convert to sRGB if I'm designing a file that will go onto the web. Or if I'm sending to large format vinyl, I may keep it in its original Adobe RGB (1998). RGB has the largest gamut of the three, so using it as my source I can make these changes with the least destruction possible.
Don't insist that I should use this file on the web only, by giving it to me in sRGB. Not that I'll be upset if you do, but I'll be a lot happier if you provide me with an RGB. ;)
Yes, an sRGB file will display more accurately across monitors to users on the internet, and will be more consistent as buyers browse your stock portfolio. However, Adobe RGB (1998) will preserve the more complete color info to actually download and use. Most of your buyers are probably not just web designers. |
