Hi all,

Just wondering if/when anyone uses a working space other than sRGB or =
Rec709.  I have always set it to sRGB without giving it too much =
thought, and for the types of content I often work on that has been =
fine.

But a few months ago I had some lovely 6K Log footage to play with and I =
was experimenting with other working spaces to see if there was much =
difference.  While the results on my screen were different, I wouldn=E2=80=
=99t say they were better or even more accurate=E2=80=A6 it was fun for =
an hour or so but I won=E2=80=99t pretend I learned much.  Certainly I =
don=E2=80=99t really know the difference between Adobe RGB, Apple RGB, =
Wide Gamut RGB etc etc.  And while I understand the basics of colour =
management and a =E2=80=9Cworking space=E2=80=9D I have wondered if =
choosing something non-standard will adversely affect plugins.

So just wondering if anyone else has more technical insight on setting =
the working space to something other than sRGB (or Rec709) and if that =
could lead to technical improvements in quality when grading, etc etc.
