Is it possible to use any other color space in ACR (other thanADOBE RGB, Prophoto, sRGB), and how?
thanks for your time

I'm making an assumption that you are using CS3 in my reply.

At the bottom of the ACR window there is information about the current color space, crop size, bit depth and output resolution. If you click on that (it doesn't look like it is "clickable", but it is), it will bring up a dialog box to alter those settings. The only color space options available for me are
Adobe RGB (1998), Color Match RGB, ProPhoto RGB, and SRGB. That only adds Color Match RGB to options you mentioned in your question. Hope that helps.

I've been using Joseph Holmes color space for conversion with C1P; however some recent updates in ACR and additional reading has lead me to believe that ACR might not be a bad option either.

Hi Prashant. I also use a Jos. Holmes colorspace and was unable to use it in ACR 4.2. This wasn't a big issue for me since I use C1 4 anyway, but you would think Adobe would solve this issue as it's a fairly major one IMO.
