of applications that do not support color
management. Although working space profiles
are considered when converting colors between
color spaces, Color Management Off does not tag
documents with profiles. Use this option for
content that will be output on video or as
on-screen presentations; do not use this option
if you work mostly with documents that are tagged
with color profiles.

About working spaces
Among other options, predefined color
management settings specify the color profiles to
be associated with the RGB, CMYK, and Grayscale
color modes. The settings also specify the color
profile for spot colors in a document. Central to
the color management workflow, these profiles are
known as working spaces. The working spaces
specified by predefined settings represent the color
profiles that will produce the best color fidelity for
several common output conditions. For example,
the U.S. Prepress Defaults setting uses a CMYK
working space that is designed to preserve color
consistency under standard Specifications for Web
Offset Publications (SWOP) press conditions.
A working space acts as the color profile for
untagged documents and newly created
documents that use the associated color mode.
For example, if Adobe RGB (1998) is the current
RGB working space, each new RGB document that
you create will use colors within the Adobe RGB
(1998) color space. Working spaces also define the
destination color space of documents converted to
RGB, CMYK, or Grayscale color mode.
About color management policies
When you specify a predefined color management
setting, Photoshop sets up a color management
workflow that will be used as the standard for all
documents and color data that you open or
