We're just a printer and get RGBs from clients. Instead of opening all into Photoshop
I want to just run them out of Indd CS4 and be done with it. We haven't really has a problem,
just trying to tighten it up. We want a rich look, so I'm leaning towards Adobe RGB (1998) vs iRGB.
Just wondered what others are doing.
You say you want a rich look and so lean to AdobeRGB, well that is a little bit tricky situation. If you have images that are untagged they are most likley to be sRGB and if you would default them to Adobe RGB you will get seriously over rich colours

It's been mentioned here several times that the proper way to manage color is to open each image in Photoshop and tag them prior to placing/updating them in InDesign. But if it's untagged to begin with, how does PS know how to do the conversion? Err...the answer to that question is probably over my head...I'll rephrase: In your experience, does PS do a good job of converting from untagged profiles? (I presume it's important to convert to the desired profile rather than just assign it.) If it doesn't, how do you go about figuring out what the original color space was?
Thanks in advance!
