Again, Paul hits a homerun. Thank you

Which color profile do I choose?
PSE has 3 choices, RGB, sRGB, and No Color Management.
Starting from RAW, save to tiff, then save to jpeg.

"I" would choose sRGB...
I'm not sure what you may want.

Can your eyes really differentiate that many additional greens?
I don't believe mine can...

Ok. Choose sRGB jpeg.
What color management do I choose when save to tiff(also has layers).?

The raw converter puts the image within the boundaries of Adobe RGB. Almost no one uses that space except for high end service bureaus and ad agencies and publishers.
If anything, it’s an inferior working space, compared with ProPhoto RGB, but can be used in a pinch.
Nearly all files for the Internet and photo labs should be in sRGB!

Why save to TIFF?
Typically people do that as an intermediate processing step with the intent to further process the TIFF to a final image. In that case save the TIFF in the ProPhoto color space. Rule: Do all image processing in the largest color space = ProPhoto.
Images start as raw files. Raw files have no color space. When a raw file is converted to an RGB image (TIFF, JPEG, etc.) a color space must be assigned and all raw processing software does that. If further processing will take place then save to largest color space. If no further processing will take place then save to your output color space.
Check your raw converter for color space options! Adobe LR for example does all raw processing in Adobe's version of ProPhoto and gives you no option to change that. Other raw converters may or may not allow you to change their working color space while processing the raw data -- PL6 would be an example that allows user choice.

The answer is neither.. ProPhoto RGB is the largest color space but no monitor or printer can handle it as of now.

Beats me, I don't do TIFFs......

And to me that makes it unusable.
Neat how we each have our on concepts of what is important, eh?
(I don't care if a color space has 4 billion colors. If I can't use it anywhere, it's worthless to me.)

So a statement like that might mean seems to imply you don't understand the reason for the larger color space.
Can you use the wind? (You can see it).
Question: Would you rather the color space of your editor be larger or smaller than the devices you are reading from and writing to?

Oh, I understand, I simply don't require a bazillion colors.
Are you sure you didn't infer that?

Sorry, last I knew, the wind has no effect on color space.
By the way, one cannot SEE the wind, however one can see the effects of wind.

As large at least. Is there anything smaller than sRGB? Larger, if it would have any meaningful effect...
Certain things are important to you,
why must they be important to me?

My monitor covers a large portion of the Adobe RGB space and so does my Canon Pro 1000 printer, so I shoot in Adobe RGB. I export in srgb for social media.
