Hello,
I am After a site that provides generic (or other) working colour spaces for
Photoshop. I am trying to access "Master RGB", can anyone guide me in the
right direction ?
Any help appreciated.

G'day,
I'm not sure what "master RGB" is relative to as there is no
particular dominant colorspace outside of LAB. I guess it depends on
what platform, workflow, programs, etc., you are using.
Many users work with Adobe 1998.icc (the 2000 version preferred),
though the PhotoDiscRGB1 space is a good one. Just about everyone
will nominate one or another over the other, and some will recommend
defining one in photoshop using customized tables. But Adobe1998
works because it is covers most, if not all, predominate SWOP gamuts
and is widely available, though some I've heard the decry magenta
therein. (I don't know where I got that from. Maybe it's another
Epson inkjet thing.)
Anyway - Microsoft created the sRGB workspace...perhaps they are
marketing it overseas as the "master." I wouldn't surprise many.
Either way, in the quest for "master RGB" I recommend a few starting points:
http://www.iccabc.com/ (good color reading basics and a bit beyond)
http://www.chromix.com/pages/pc/over.html (has an icc searchable dbase)
http://www.photodisc.com/am/marketing/designer_resources/tocolor/colorg1.asp
http://38.187.9.49/color/resources/index.html (re: ColorBlind links

Ah the list goes on and on...inevitably ending up with Shakespeare's
MacBeth a few centuries after the infamous Gretag merger which
poughed lowds of offspring here and there to ultimately end up with...

Good Luck...sorry for the long post. I was waiting for a window repairman.
