RGB Working Spaces in Photoshop

Monitor RGB
The default setting for the predefined setting of Color Management Off and Emulate Acrobat 4. Sets the working space to your current monitor space (which it gets from the monitor profile you established during calibration). Forces Photoshop to turn off color management. I don’t recommend this setting unless you have a specific need to use it.

ColorSync RGB
Sets the working space to the profile specified in the Apple Color Sync control panel. The default setting for the ColorSync Workflow predefined setting. For Macintosh only.

Adobe RGB (1998)

The default setting for all the Prepress predefined settings. It is the best color profile to use for viewing 24-bit images and for converting RGB files to CMYK. Provides a large gamut of RGB colors. I recommend this setting for all print work and as an overall setting if you’re unsure what to choose.

Apple RGB
The default setting for the Emulate Photoshop 4 predefined setting. Can also be used for older Mac OS scanners and monitors. Adobe also says it can be used with other older desktop publishing applications, but unless you’re the proud owner of a 13 inch Apple monitor, I’d avoid it.

Color Match RGB

Use this working space only with Radius Pressview monitors. I don’t think I need to give you a recommendation on this one! You Radius Pressview users know who you are.

sRGB

The default setting for Web Graphics Defaults. This color profile, developed by Microsoft, HP, and Kodak, represents a standard, Trinitron PC monitor the viewing platform of choice for many of the world’s Web surfers. Can also be used with Windows scanners. Avoid it for print work due to its limited RGB color gamut. If your goal is to ensure your Web graphics look relatively the same in Los Angeles as they do in Bangladesh, sRGB is a good profile to use.
