Adobe Photoshop versions 4.0 or earlier, and is the typical RGB
profi le for Macintosh monitors. The corresponding RGB setting in Adobe Photoshop is “Apple RGB.” This profi le is suitable
for working with images dis played on the Macintosh.
The ColorMatch profi le is native to Radius PressView monitors.
It has a wider gamut than Apple RGB, with a particularly wide
area devoted to the reproduction of blues. The cor re spond ing
RGB setting in Adobe Photoshop is “Color Match RGB.”
This RGB profi le is used in the majority of Windows monitors. It
closely resembles the RGB commonly used in color television,
and is also used in the digital television broadcasting sys tem
that is on its way to becoming the industry standard in the
United States of America. Software and hardware man u fac tur ers use it as a default color profi le and guarantee op er a tion
when it used. It is also on its way to becoming the standard
for images on the web. This profi le is suited to users who plan
to use their digital images “as is,” without editing or print ing them. It however suff ers from the drawback of a narrow
gamut with a limited area available for reproducing blues. The
corresponding RGB setting in Adobe Photoshop 5.0 and 5.5
is “sRGB,” the corresponding setting in Adobe Photoshop 6.0
“sRGB IWC61966-2.1.”
This color profi le attempts to expand on the ColorMatch RGB
gamut by defi ning the chro ma tic i ty for G as lying between the
values for G in the Adobe RGB and ColorMatch color-space
profi les. It was proposed by Bruce Fraser, who claims that it
includes most of the colors in the SWOP CMYK gamut. The R

A color-space profi le defi ned in Adobe Photoshop 5.0. It has a
wider gamut than sRGB and includes the colors found in most
CMYK gamuts, making it suitable for users involved in desktop
publishing. The cor re spond ing RGB setting in Adobe Photoshop 5.0 is “SMPTE-240M,” the corresponding setting in Adobe

This color-space profi le, designed by Adobe, incorporates most
of the visible colors. This however has the consequence that
most of the colors it can express can not be reproduced on
standard monitors and printers. The corresponding RGB setting in Adobe Photoshop 5.0 or later is “Adobe Wide RGB.”
