No, they're not the same thing. ProPhoto RGB is an even wider colour space than Wide Gamut RGB.

Thank you for the reply.
I also received this from chuck Westfall.
"Wide Gamut RGB and Pro Photo RGB are similar color spaces in the respect that both are wider than Adobe RGB, but strictly speaking, Pro Photo RGB is a slightly wider color space than Wide Gamut RGB. In practice, this distinction is virtually meaningless for most applications, since the extra width of Pro Photo RGB vs. Wide Gamut RGB consists for the most part of imaginary colors that cannot be reproduced.
The best way to decide which color space you prefer is to try them all. This is relatively easy to do as long as you have DPP for Wide Gamut RGB and Adobe Camera RAW for Pro Photo RGB.
Thanks for reading Tech Tips!

I have a further question however - wouldnt the best setting be to set DPP to wide gamut RGB and then set photoshop to preserve the embedded profile?
This would give a near Pro-Photo RGB working space.
Thoughts?
