Dear Michael, If you edit in CMYK, you still have to deal with out-of-gamut colours. How does every photograph get into CMYK in the first place? Unfortunately, it doesn't just magically happen - a conversion from RGB has had to take place at some point. So how has that conversion taken place and how were the out-of-gamut colours dealt with at that point? Furthermore, if you decide to edit in CMYK, which 'flavour' of CMYK do you choose? If you end up having to convert from your chosen CMYK to another CMYK destination, this is a particularly destructive conversion over and above RGB to CMYK. One last thing! When doing colour edits in CMYK, you will also need to keep a careful eye on the Info Palette as, unlike RGB, an over-zealous colour correction can exceed the ink limits of the specification you have chosen. My advice would be to stick to an RGB workflow and re-purpose as required...
