Your specified working space acts as the default color profile for any new images you create. That means that every file you create on your computer now uses the colors within the gamut of your color profiles (either RGB or CMYK depending on your document color mode).
In addition, your working spaces also define how Photoshop converts your images. For example, say your CMYK working space is U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2. When you convert an RGB image to CMYK (Image➪Mode➪CMYK) prior to sending it off to the printer, Photoshop automatically tags the image with the U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 color profile. (If this looks like a whole lot of letters jumbled together, read the sections devoted to RGB and CMYK working spaces.)
Any images that are untagged — that don’t already have an embedded profile (for example, Photoshop files created before Version 5) — also use your working spaces.

When you save your file, make sure that you select the Embed Color Profile option in the Save dialog box, if it’s available. (Some file formats don’t support color profiles.) This ensures that Photoshop tags the file with the specified color profile and that its origins are always known.
