And for PDFs of InDesign CS3 layouts incorporating photos? Still sRGB?

Sorry for any confusion. Go with sRGB for the photos and you will be happy.

But elsewhere we're repeatedly told to use RGB, not CMYK. Which is best for a 14x11 Porfolio book?

David,

Interior is better in sRGB, but for the cover RGB is best. All cover images are normalized to the RGB color space because the full wrap covers have to be assembled from several images. We convert everything to RGB, and flatten to a single rasterized image, then make the single composite image from the separate front, back, and spine text, etc.

So saving out your cover in RGB is best. In fact, saving it out as a high quality RGB jpeg is ideal, since that is what we do in the code to make sure the full wrap covers are printable.

Here is a link on color that may help also: http://www.prestophoto.com/forums/topic/9714

When using an Indesign (CS4) file in the RGB color space (not CMYK), I am assuming it is ok to export using the Adobe(1998) color space and not sRGB?
