I shoot raw with an EOS 50D. I display my pictures pretty much exclusively on the Web as JPEGs, and almost never print them. I import, edit, and catalog raw files in Adobe Lightroom 2.4 on a Mac with OS X 10.5. Of course many people who view my pictures use Linux and Windows as well.

What color space should I choose? sRGB or Adobe RGB, and when does this make a difference?

Most of the pros I’ve consulted use Adobe RGB, but I suspect they’re mostly thinking about print.

Given that I shoot raw, does the camera setting matter at all? Or can I somehow set this when I import from Lightroom?

Why do photos that look great on my mac look sort of crappy color-wise on Linux? Will this change in Snow Leopard?
