But I have been using Colormatch RGB based on recommendation in Blattner's Real World Photoshop. My conclusions from all this is: - - I should recalibrate to a gamma of 2.2 and color temperature of 6500 K - - I should start using Adobe RGB as the color space in Photoshop - - I did the right thing with Vuescan. When you say I should "tag" my images with sRGB after editing in the color space of my choice, what exactly does "tagging" mean? Do I need to convert the image to sRGB before saving the JPEG file?
