When thinking of color space in digital photography you have a few options. The two most common options are sRGB and Adobe RGB. So which one is right for you?

Without getting too technical the easy answer is to use Adobe RGB. That was simple wasn’t it?
Okay here’s a little more information.
In truth, if you were only going to be sharing your images online or getting small prints made it would be okay to use the sRGB color space. It contains less information so you may end up saving hard drive space.
But you want to get some really great prints out of all of your hard work behind the camera right? Adobe RGB offers a wider color gamut or more color information so the images your camera and computer produce will be smoother in the gradients. That’s a very good thing, indeed.

What about Adobe (with a year in parens)? Isn't there one in this format or is it the same as sRGB or Adobe RGB?

What's the dif if it stands alone?
Sorry, Adobe RGB and Adobe RGB (1998) are the same as far as I understand things.
Furthermore, if you rarely print images(especially if you use standard commercial printers) just use sRGB and save youself some the trouble of having to convert images from Adobe RGB (1998) to sRGB.
I suppose it would have been easier to say that the simple answer is to just use sRGB but I'm trying to get you guys to print more images!
Truthfully, there is no simple answer to this often debated subject.
That's interesting, as I have read many others say that the simple answer is sRGB and Adobe is only for those that understand the intricacies of the differences. I really do need to look this stuff up and make an educated decision for myself...
Another awesome photo shot, really like the photos showed here.
BTW, we like the girl standing on the right side in pink dress, :)
I tried using AdobeRGB but found the colours dull and needed more processing before viewing and printing.
