The following sections outline the recommended color settings for Photoshop in a
Color Server workflow. These color settings include:
Working Spaces:
Default color spaces used when working with RGB, CMYK, grayscale, and
spot colors. ICC color profiles describe the gamut and color characteristics of these working
spaces.
Color Management Policies:
Instructions that tell Photoshop what to do when it encounters
color data from a color space other than the specified working space.

managed workflows. By customizing color settings, you specify the amount of color
management that you want to use while working in Photoshop.
