I've been doing some experimenting in the different color spaces that
Olympus supports - sRGB, aRGB and ProPhotoRGB converting out of RAW
(ORF in Oly land) using a NEC SpectraView 2090 printer and I'll be
damned if I can see a difference between sRGB and aRGB. There is a
difference with ProPhotoRGB, but it's a "difference" - not better or
worse.

If you examine the photos under a good "white" light, you can see a
slight change in colors, but in natural light, it just does not exist.

I'm curious if you've done any experiments with this.


I had a thought on your experience regarding the different color spaces.
This probably is not the case, but is it possible that the different color
spaces available on your camera have no effect on raw shots and only have an
effect when shooting JPEG's? On Nikons, most of the optimization choices
have no effect when shooting raw, although I believe the choice of color
space does. Have you compared JPEG's shot using the different color modes?
If you do, and then notice a difference, then either the Oly doesn't take
color space into effect when it shoots raw, or the choice is actually
implemented upon raw conversion, and perhaps your method of conversion is at
fault.

I can clearly see the difference between color modes I, II, and III on my
shots.
