Starting in Adobe RGB will give you a bit more to play with colourwise, but
you will degrade your image slightly by the gamma conversion in the end.
(Ok for those of you that doesn't believe me mage a grayscale gradient in
Adobe RGB . Open levels and see the appearance. Now convert to Apple RGB or
Colormatch, and check the levels again. This is what the gamma shift does.)
You can gain a bit if you work in 16bit and convert in 16 bit though (you'd
probably want Photoshop 8 for that).
And I would recommend converting to ColorMatch RGB over Apple RGB - bettr
space in some important places.
