and share them with other users or applications.

About color working spaces
A
working space
is an intermediate color space used to define and edit color in Adobe applications. Each color model
has a working space profile associated with it. You can choose working space profiles in the Color Settings dialog box.
A working space profile acts as the source profile for newly created documents that use the associated color model.
For example, if Adobe RGB (1998) is the current RGB working space profile, each new RGB document that you
create will use colors within the Adobe RGB (1998) gamut. Working spaces also determine the appearance of colors
in untagged documents.
If you open a document embedded with a color profile that doesn’t match the working space profile, the application
uses a
color management policy
to determine how to handle the color data. In most cases, the default policy is to
preserve the embedded profile. For more information on setting up color management policies, see “About missing
and mismatched color profiles” on page 217 and “Color Management Policy options” on page 217.
Working Space options
To display working space options, choose Edit > Color Settings.
To view a description of any profile, select the profile and then position the pointer over the profile name. The
description appears at the bottom of the dialog box.
RGB
Determines the RGB color space of the application. In general, it’s best to choose Adobe RGB or sRGB, rather
than the profile for a specific device (such as a monitor profile).
sRGB is recommended when preparing images for the web, because it defines the color space of the standard monitor
used to view images on the web. sRGB is also a good choice when working with images from consumer-level digital
cameras, because most of these camera use sRGB as their default color space.
Adobe RGB is recommended when preparing documents for print, because Adobe RGB’s gamut includes some
printable colors (cyans and blues in particular) that can't be displayed using sRGB. Adobe RGB is also a good choice
when working with images from professional-level digital cameras, because most of these camera use Adobe RGB
as their default color space.
CMYK
Determines the CMYK color space of the application. All CMYK working spaces are device-dependent,
meaning that they are based on actual ink and paper combinations. The CMYK working spaces Adobe supplies are
based on standard commercial print conditions.
Gray (Photoshop)
Determines Grayscale color space of the application.
Spot (Photoshop)
Specifies the dot gain to use when displaying spot color channels and duotones.
Adobe applications ship with a standard set of working space profiles that have been recommended and tested by
Adobe Systems for most color management workflows. By default, only these profiles appear in the working space
menus. To display additional color profiles that you have installed on your system, select Advanced Mode (Illustrator
