Unless you intend to print posters etc then sRGB is the one for you.

sRGB or Adobe RGB?

sRGB is standard for most people.

This might help

Thanks guys. My college tutor said Adobe RGB, but then everyone else seems to say sRGB. Plus the website I've set up says to upload pics using sRGB as well

What, without any sort of explanation? Your tutor is a moron.

Adobe RGB *does* record more colour information than sRGB but unless your entire workflow can make use of it, it's probably best to stick to sRGB for more consistent and predictable results.

srgb, a said argb has a wider colour range(gamut). But most printers do not handle argb so you will not get the true colours., and most internet sites do not support argb as do alot of monitors, and if you shoot raw which you should it makes no difference as to which you shoot just make sure you save as srgb (colour profile) .

Thanks everyone. I shoot everything RAW, but I'll make sure to change the working colour space in CS5 to sRGB

Good call. sRGB is generally easier, and you can change it to Adobe RGB easily, if that's what you want and you shoot in raw. Just a small point - and it's usually ignored, raw isn't an acronym like JPEG.

Please ask your Tutor why he said use Adobe RGB.

Always nice to know the reasoning behind something.

sRGB or Adobe RGB?

it's irrelevant when you shoot raw.

and your monitor and printer are unlikely to be able to show the RGB gamut.
