Randy,
The Profile Connection Space (PCS) is part of a color management
system that the end-user has no control over, so you don't have to
worry about how it actually
works. The profile connection space is a CIE-based reference color
space that is used in conjunction with the imaging system's Color
Matching Method (CMM) to transfer colors information accurately
between source and destination devices. The PCS is usually the
Lab color space.
The Color Matching Method or CMM is software that is part of the
color management system. The CMM allows images to be converted from
one device's color space (source) to another device's color space
(destination). Photoshop supports at least five CMMs.
The CMM settings are found in the Color Setting/Conversions
Options/Engine dialog box.
The Adobe Color Engine or ACE is the native (built-in) color
separation method that Adobe Systems has created to convert RGB
images into CMYK color separations. It is also known as the CMM. We
believe ACE is the best CMM to use.
Hope that helps
