>> What is the difference as an example between using the colourspace generated by a Gretag eye one profiled monitor and for arguments sake Colormatch which i understand is a Colorspace use dorigianally used on Radius monitors. <<
Phil, this was the old Photoshop 4 or earlier workflow - where monitor characteristics directly drove the preview and generated the files colours. Photoshop 5 decoupled the monitor from file creation, so no more drifting target! The old Photoshop 5 techguides at Adobe still do a very good job of explaining the new ICC workflow for users who understood the old methods, but have troubles grasping the new workflows: http://www.adobe.com/support/techguides/photoshop/cms2/cmwork.html http://www.adobe.com/support/techguides/photoshop/cms2/moncalibration.html http://www.adobe.com/support/techguides/photoshop/cms2/rgbsetup.html What confuses things is that Apple RGB and ColorMatch RGB could be used to describe actual device behaviour - but they are a work space and not a monitor profile. There can only be input/output/monitor profiles - the is no 'work space' profile as such, since it falls under the monitor category. But an idealised RGB working/editing space is not a device, think of it like LAB - it is not a real world space, but one made up for a special purpose (standard RGB spaces make more sense than LAB to work/edit in for most users and uses).
