To make photo books online, Debbie Grossman [in “Picture Books,” November 2010] says, “Save your images in the sRGB color space before uploading.” If you upload in Adobe RGB, your pictures could print flat and is a check box to embed Adobe RGB color profile, with no option to change to sRGB. And I am really confused since I’ve read that you should use Adobe RGB (1998) if you’re going to print your images. So what color space should I use, and how do I do that? A. Adobe RGB is a wider color space than sRGB, and thus can show more colors—so it’s a great idea to shoot your JPEGs in Adobe RGB. You can take advantage of the wider color space when you edit in Photoshop or color-manage your print process at home. Unfortunately, though, the default color space for most devices and software is sRGB. So before you share your photos online, or order prints or a book, you almost always have to convert to in Photoshop, go to Edit > Convert to Profile. Choose sRGB IEC61966-2.1, and click OK. Then, when you’re in the Save As dialogue, be sure to check the box for Embed Color Profile.   =
