There is a point, if you intend output to a wider-gamut device than a screen at some time - for instance photo inkjets such as Epsons. Using a wide gamut space can have disadvantages. Obviously you can't see on screen the exact colour values of the image file because the monitor is constrained to sRGB, and if you need at some point to output to CMYK, you risk more colours being out of gamut. If CMYK is the eventual destination, Colormatch RGB is a closer match. > What about scanning for archive ? Yup, a good choice and many people do. Ultimately what you do depends on your intended use.
