Image Mode: The mode option in the Image Menu bar option lets you change the existing color mode of an image.
There are various color modes in Photoshop. Some popular and commonly used Modes are listed below.
Bitmap: This mode enables you to create a black and white image only. This modes uses various shades of gray.
Grayscale: Grayscale is used for images that do not contain any color and store files with up to 256 levels of gray. Gray images can be saved in one of the color modes but they will take up at least three times as much disk space.
RGB: RGB (Red, Green, Blue) is the most common mode for color images. It is particularly good for displaying images on a Red, Green and Blue Light.
CMYK: CMYK ( Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black ) mode is used heavily by the publishing industry as when images are printed professionally they are usually printed by combining Cyan, Yellow, Magenta and Black inks (called process colors). If RGB files are printed on CMYK printers the printer has to convert the colors in a file as it prints which can produce poor results.
Lab: This mode uses luminance and brightness settings to help balance the image for all types of Devices-Printers, Monitors and Scanners
Multi-Channel: You can convert color images to this mode for special printing situations. this mode converts various color channels to channels with 256 colors of gray.
Indexed Color: Indexed Color is used for color images that are to be saved as CompuServe. Gif files cconverting files to indexed color reduces the range of colors in an image to 256 or less.
Duotone: This mode prepares an image for traditional dutone printing, which uses two solid ink colors such as a dark and blue yeilding a nicely tinted image.
