Which color work space would you recommend Adobe RGB or sRGB? How would I know which one I am using by default?

Thanks!

Elton,

sRGB is PS’s default colour space and is used for both web display and print applications.
ARGB has a wider gamut and can oversaturate/exagerate colours intended for the web and not all browsers support this. Although it does convert to CMYK better than sRGB.(allegedly)

Thank you MH for replying good day!

Where would I go within Photoshop to determine if I am using PS’s default colour space?

Cheers!
