The orig PSD files stay forever with the camera profile attached. I use sRGB only as a 'place-holder' default, though I don't really ever use it for my own work. I'd go so far as to say if your screen cannot do Adobe RGB, then take your photos in sRGB so you can always see what's going on. sRGB is not 'bad' it's just a lowest common denominator that most screens aim for [whether or not they hit it] | |

On my first attempts I was changing everything so that's how made the mistake. The workaround of assign a sRGB profile before the conversion is pretty useless because in first place the working space was wrong. A bunch a work and reading for a simple wrong setup I guess that's the price of learnig somethign new. Thanks man! A last thing I was wondering if you in your Adobe RGB Screen had to set the working space to Adobe RGB or add a sRGB profile before any conversion to non-profiled images? | |

That your screen can do 120% sRGB is not important [basically it's advertiser speak for "can't do Adobe RGB", nothing more]. Have you checked your colour setup in Ps? i still think that's where most of this springs from. tbh, looking at numbers isn't going to help. When you're set up correctly you can ignore the numbers because it's all pretty seamless visually. [That you lose something from ProPhoto to sRGB is not something you can see on an sRGB screen, so for this exercise you can ignore it.] | |
