If you shoot RAW, you are already in a non-color space. Color space is
applied during the RAW conversion. Doesn't matter what the in-camera
settings are, as RAW is RAW. (grin).

I'm certainly interested in this. As you know, I use Millerslab.
They're traditionally been an sRGB shop. That works fine for all the
portraiture and wedding stuff that flows through there. But are you
saying that they now are aRGB too?
