Adobe Photoshop FAQ's
What Colour Settings should I use in Adobe Photoshop?
The Color Settings in Adobe Photoshop define a number of different factors and determine how your images are brought in, colour managed and converted.
Different people of course have different requirements, but as a general guideline, we would recommend you chose the 'Europe Prepress Defaults' preset. This can be accessed from the Edit menu > Color Settings.The first box, Settings, is a pull down menu. You will find Europe Prepress Defaults as one of the options here.
What this does is define:
Your RGB working space - set to Adobe RGB (1998)
Your CMYK working space - set to European standard for presses using coated paper. This is used when you convert an image from RGB to CMYK.
Your colour management policies - always checks to see if there is an embedded profile in an image brought into Photoshop, and warns you if there is mismatch between the embedded profile, and your settings.
