I use Lightroom 3 for most raw photo image processing, finishing in Photoshop.  My current camera allows either sRGB ( in various Nikon recipes) and AdobeRGB.  Lightroom allows outputting in the larger gamut ProPhoto color space also.  With raw files, that is possible since a color space from camera is not limiting the raw data file.

 

The question:  Do any of you use the larger color spaces such as AdobeRGB or ProPhotoRGB?  If so, please tell me if the results IN PRINT are worth it.  A monitor will not show the larger gamuts but fine prints can reveal much of the larger color space I am told. I process to display here on 'rosity but certainly take the really good ones to edit for print with the most care my distracted mind can muster.

Is the use of AdobeRGB or the even larger ProPhotoRGB worth it  in printed images? Is there a preference?

 

Any comments will be very much appreciated. Site mail if desired.

PS. Have been using the trial CS5.  The upgrade from my CS2 is not badly priced and I will be moving to CS5 befrore long.  Believe it or not, this new version seems to run with less effort  than CS2. Who knows why but that is a good thing.
