As I said why I hate posting online. I did a lot of reading and research before going to Adobe RGB 1998, it is just a superior colour space.

"Note how Adobe RGB 1998 extends into richer cyans and greens than does sRGB-- for all tonal levels."

When I decided to use Adobe RGB 1998 I researched it I think the advantages of Adobe RGB are apparent and my printer takes full advantage of Adobe RGB.It appears it is not for everyone so I will continue to have this issue I suppose but I am not ever going to use sRGB as I think it is an inferior colour space.

Good link Acadie...

Tell me... Have you experimented by printing the same shot one saved in AdobeRGB and one saved SRGB? and was there a perceptible difference?

I am asking because I don't print at home and don't know...

One new thing I learned from that link is that shooting a wider colour gamut reduces bit depth resulting is posterization if you are not actual using the colours is the gamut.

I find when I tried sRGB the colours seemed to flat to me. I like my colours to pop, not everyones taste I admit but works for me. Not that I like all my photos that way. The only photos I use sRGB on are my website photos but those are optimized for the web. Photos I post in forums are usually test photos and outside resizing not much I do to make them web friendly, most I post I never end up using but a few I have but after I have optimized them for the web.

I agree with Travis. Adobe RGB produces excellent colours with impact sure, but when you post them the colours are often lacking in saturation or dynamic range because the transition to srgb by the web leaves a lot to be desired. I once took a photo posted on a forum and reformatted it to Adobe RGB. The colours were considerably better rendered.

Despite that, I did not see a colour or brightness problem with your dragon fly image and I have a CRT that matches commercial printing in brightness and colour.
