In fact, the default settings give you fewer colors. Yet Photoshop's default color settings won't give you more colors. And better looking colors mean better looking images, both on screen and in print. More colors also give us access to richer, more vibrant and more saturated colors. More colors mean more potential detail in our photos. The color settings in Photoshop determine the range of colors available to us when we edit our images. So it may surprise you to learn that Photoshop's default color settings are preventing your photos from looking the way they should. As photographers, we trust Photoshop to help our photos look their very best. Adobe Photoshop is the world's most powerful and popular image editor.
