Moving to a new colour space.

After several happy years with Adobe RGB, it is time to move all my gear to a new colour space. It was a sudden decision, brought on by new information ( the release of Adobe Lightroom v.1 - http://www.adobe.com/go/trylightroom, which uses ProPhoto as the default space ) and no reason not to move quickly. From now on, I will be using the ProPhoto RGB setting for my digital photography.
You can read a good introduction to ProPhoto on the Luminous landscape website - http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/prophoto-rgb.shtml.
I never had any complaints about Adobe RGB, it was solid, reliable and trustworthy. But I have to keep up with the times and keep my options open, which makes ProPhoto the better choice for coping with and exploiting future calibration and printing advances.
