Pardon my ignorance, I’m new to the digital world.

I bought the book "Photoshop for Digital Photographers", and in it they say that you should change the color space from the default which is

"sRGB IEC61966-2.1" to "Adobe RGB (1998)". Mainly because the second one does a much better job color correcting.

My problem is that when I do this and then try to open a photo in PS, I get a pop up saying something about the color settings don’t match, and do I want to convert to "Adobe RGB (1998)".

Has anyone had this problem?
Do you get much better results by changing this setting? and if so, how do I get around this?
An help would be much aperciated.
Cheers
Ron

That’s not a problem – that is expected when opening an image with a different profile.

You need to read the Photoshop manual about color management settings.
