What is LAB Color Space? [HD]

MORE: www.HiDefColor.... What is the LAB color space and why you need to know more about it to help you produce better color in print.
Knowing the LAB color space is essential to understanding color management. LAB color is the common denominator is communicating between RGB and CMYK color space. LAB is device-independent, meaning it is the only way to communicate a color's known value across multiple devices and industries.
What are the three axis and what do they mean?

I guess the definitions are a bit different for printing and visualization then. In visualization a is from green(-) to b for red (+), and depends on the bit depth it could be -127 to +128 value.

Photoshop allows you to work in a variety of colour space including Lab

Hello guys, do you know if we should adjust black, white, contrast, ex... on camera RAW/Lightroom before converting a picture to LAB color space (photoshop) or should we do all the adjustment in the LAB color space?
