Choose your color space and save it as your special setting.

Adobe Photoshop CS3 is such a superb program that makes you able to work with images only for print or even for your own web sites. With the Adobe Photoshop CS3, you now have a chance to increase the photographs with repurpose or may redesign them. However, the original printed images and the web images usually have different limits on the range of colours that they are able to represent. It is why you need to change the colour settings for your project.

At first, you need to know that the default colour space setting on the Photoshop CS3 is set to sRGB. It is a very limited colour space since it is created to be viewed even for the lowest quality monitor. Actually, sRGB is a good colour space if you are using it to prepare web images. But, the sRGB colour space is a much smaller colour space than the better monitors are able to show and what printers are able to produce. The experienced photographers and designers usually prefer to use the larger colour space called Adobe RGB since it is often the better and larger colour space for working with your project. It will give your project better colour and look much better.

In the Adobe Photoshop CS3, you can choose your colour space and save it as your special setting. If you want to make your printed colours look much better, you have to use the Adobe RGB and North America Prepress 2 settings. Here are how to set them.

1. Click edit - colour settings
2. Then, the colour settings dialog box will appear. Select the North America Prepress
3. After that, the RGB setting will be changed to the Adobe RGB. Then, click more options
4. Select perceptual for photography or relative colorimetric for the graphic design project

With the Adobe Photoshop CS3, you are now even able to synchronize the colour settings in the other Adobe Creative Suite application. You can customize your own colour settings preset. Adobe Photoshop CS3 is included in the Adobe Creative Suite and just like its name, it will give you the chance to be much more creative.

Maybe you do not like it with the settings from RGB that are already used by the top notch designers. It is okay since everyone has their own style. Just customize your own colour settings and save it with your own name. It is what Adobe Photoshop CS3 offers!
