I set my camera to srgb. Most everything I do is viewed on the webs.

Aren't you shooting RAW now? RAW doesn't use a color gamut on the camera. It's not until you are post processing that a profile is applied.

Didn't know that either, but it makes perfect sense. The camera is still set to srgb though, and I have Camera Raw set to default srgb also.

Adobe... wider range of colors compared to sRGB
This is all that needed to be said... When it is brought into your RAW converter just make sure that the working space is Adobe 1998 and finalize your image this way when you save. Only convert to profile (sRGB) when you are posting to the Internet, as it is native.
