A problem of Adobe RGB is that it is smaller than the color space of most images captured by digital camera sensors. ProPhoto RGB is large enough to contain these colors, a lot of which are deep saturated colors. Why throw away information? I understand that ProPhoto is larger than what we can see. I also understand that ProPhoto is larger than any output device that we have today (print as well as monitor), but who knows what the future holds. Some of the colors that fall outside of aRGB fall within the colors of modern inkjet printers.
I agree, problems can occur when adjusting the color in ProPhoto. But, if a person understands color management, soft proofing and how to turn on the "out of gamut" warning, then ProPhoto will pose no problems. A person has to understand. That is all. If a person does not understand all of this, then aRGB is a safer space to work in. But, if a person wishes to maybe one day take advantage of all of the colors that their digital camera sensor can capture, then ProPhoto is the answer.

Thank you, Bryan. The "out of gamut" warning is only used when converting RGB to CMYK (read it from Photoshop manual), isn't it? Just check with you for sure.
